Are the following phrases correct:

Question

Have a blessed day;Tenga un día bendito Have a good night;Tenga una buena noche Have a good morning;Tenga una buena mañana Have a good afternoon;Tenga una buena tarde When do you use Tenga and when do you use Tiene if it matters? What is a reasonable timeframe to when you start speaking spanish fluently and how long before you can start understanding spanish fluent or should they happen at the same time?

Answer 1

"Tenga" can be subjunctive or imperative. In wishing someone something, we normally use the subjuntive however, this structure requires "Que" because we are really saying ie: "Espero que tenga un buen día" which is shortened to "Que tenga un buen día."

The expressions you have listed are in imperative, which is unusual as they are all usually spoken in subjunctive. However, there are certain expressions of well-wishing that can be used in imperative, ie "Estate (tú) bien" "Be well."

Answer 2

When you say "Tenga" that is something you really wish that the person have. it's used to be "more polite".

Answer 3

Tenga is the subjunctive form or the suggestive form of tener.

• Speaking fluently depends on the amount of effort and time put into the subject.
• ex you could spend five year learning spanish but only putting in 5mins a days won't help you much.
• Also for understanding spanish is a lot easier then speaking it. After level 1 and level 2 I started understanding spanish speakers.
