I hope you are having a great day

Question

Hi all,

In general I hope you are having a great day but also I would like to know how to say this in Spanish!

I think “I hope you have a great day“ is “espero que tengas un buen día“ o “un día genial/maravilloso“

Actually that is another question, I have heard both the above used, why is it buen día but the other words (genial/maravilloso etc) come after día?

Back to my original question, if you are already half way through the day, how do you say

I hope you are having a great day?

Muchisimas gracias, Zoe

Buen día and Día genial / maravilloso are just the way you say it. Look in the grammar section of this site and do a little research on Adjectives. It may help clarify the usage. - Jubilado, Nov 11, 2015

A buen día is good, but a buenisimo día is great. - jtaniel, Nov 11, 2015

Also, it's common to omit the "espero": "Que tengas un buenisimo día." - jtaniel, Nov 11, 2015

Answer 1

Answer 2

The reason that "buen" comes first is that it is proper to do so with either "bueno" or "malo."

Both "bueno" y "malo" lose the "o" before a masculine singular noun.

You can also say: Espero que tengas/pases "un día bueno."

The longer adjectives like "fantástico" "genial" or maravilloso usually follow the adjective, but they can also precede.

¿"Qué tengas..." con acento? Creo que no. - jtaniel, Nov 11, 2015

The poster is wrong. La tilde no se usa en este caso. But I thought the kitten was cute. - Daniela2041, Nov 12, 2015
