12 Schönen Tag noch!

Schönen Tag noch!

To wish someone a good day, you can say Schönen Tag noch! which literally means ‘nice day still!’.

A possible response is: “Ebenfalls!” (same to you)

You can replace the word ‘Tag‘ with ‘Abend‘ to wish someone a nice night/evening:

Schönen Abend noch!

However,  if you wish to wish someone a good weekend, the phrase changes slightly:

Schönes Wochenende noch! (This happens because it is ‘das Wochenende’, but ‘der Tag/Abend’. The ending we see is the accusative form of the article.)

• Schönen Tag/Abend noch! = (have a) nice day!
• Ebenfalls! = you too!
