While English speakers in Britain will use whole words, Australian English speakers will use words in the diminutive. These words, often shortened from British words, are often added with a vowel at the end. This is the case with afternoon, which is British English. Arvo is Australian English for the afternoon. There are about 5,000 diminutive words used by Australians.
