Spanish Salutation: Buen día

Spanish Salutation: Buen día

Pronunciation: Booayn deeah

Translation: Good day

Function: Salutation

If you can´t remember the right time of day to use ‘buenos días’, ‘buenas tardes’ or ‘buenas noches’ you can always use the orthographically correct ‘Buen día’ at any time of the day (it can be used on writing too, as an introduction for all kinds of e-mail, formal or not)

If you don´t want to sound that formal, you can say the colloquial that locals use: ‘buenas’. They say it at any time of day, but mostly to their acquaintances

Example: Buen día tengan todos ustedes

Translation: Good day you all
