You've made my day!

Question

Is there a Spanish phrase which means "you've made my day" ? the translator says "Has hecho mi día" but that sounds awfully clumsy. Feel sure the Spanish have something special for this sentiment!

And the consensus is:

me has alegrado el día = España

me alegraste el día = Argentina, Uruguay, y no sé cual otro país

That sounds better, thank you. - margarita1943, Jun 6, 2016

Answer 2

Even though I live in the Americas, I prefer the usage of Spain: "Me has alegrado / me alegraste." The other attemps to translate an idiom from English don´t sound natural in Spanish because it´s the person who is made happy and not the day.
