How Do You Say Good Morning in Spanish?

1. Buenos días – Good Morning in Spanish

🔊 ‘bwenos dias | bwe-nohs dee-yas

The most basic way of saying good morning in Spanish is Buenos días.

If you think about the literal translation, good morning in Spanish can be a little bit confusing! Actually, Buenos means good and días means days (plural), so the literal translation is good days rather than good morning.

Even more confusing, morning in Spanish is mañana, but it’s not appropriate to say buena mañana in Spanish.

But, don’t let this trip you up! Just remember, Good morning in Spanish is Buenos días.

Why is it Buenos días and not Buenas días?

One of the hardest aspects of the Spanish language for English speakers to master is the concept of subject-adjective agreement.

To explain, all nouns in Spanish have a gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural). You can tell the gender of a noun by its article (el or la) and by its ending (typically -o or -a). (El and la roughly translate to “the” but are not necessarily said aloud in English.)

Any adjective that describes a noun must match the noun in number and gender.

You can see how this works with these singular nouns, below:

el pajaro bonito → pretty bird
el gato loco → crazy cat
la mesa alta → high table
la silla fea → ugly chair

To make them plural, you change the articles and endings like this:

los pajaros bonitos → pretty birds
los gatos locos → crazy cats
las mesas altas → high tables
las sillas feas → ugly chairs

Following these grammar rules, you’re probably wondering why it’s Buenos días and not Buenas días.

The answer is…there are always exceptions when it comes to Spanish grammar!

One such exception is the word día. 🚫

Although it ends in -a, día is actually a masculine word → el día

Following subject-adjective agreement rules, you’d use Buenos días.

Notice how afternoon and evening greetings are feminine (-e is usually an indicator of a feminine noun), so they match with the -as in Buenas:

El día → Buenos días
La tarde → Buenas tardes
La noche → Buenas noches

I know, it can be hard to remember all this as a beginner! But all you have to remember is that el día means you use Buenos días.

How to Pronounce Good Morning in Spanish

Although Spanish grammar can be a little tricky, the pronunciation is relatively easy!

First off, almost all the letters in Spanish only have one sound including the vowels.

Spanish is also a phonetic language. Basically, you pronounce all the letters you see.

Once you know how letters sound, you’ll be able to pronounce almost any word you see written in Spanish. 👏

So, let’s give it a try. Here is how to pronounce (and spell) good morning in Spanish:

Buenos días → bwe-nohs dee-yas

When to Say Buenos Días

An important factor to consider when greeting someone in Spanish is the difference in how different cultures view time.

For example, in most English-speaking cultures, the afternoon starts at noon. This is true for many Latin American countries as well.

Thus, at noon, you can switch from saying Good morning to Good afternoon.

However, some countries begin their afternoons later than 12:00 pm! For instance, Spaniards say Buenos días until about two o’clock in the afternoon in Spain!

This is because lunchtime in countries like Spain starts around 2 pm. Between lunch and dinner (which is often late in the day), people will say Buenas tardes, which is Good afternoon in Spanish.

If you’re wondering when to switch from Buenos días to Buenas tardes, research the individual Spanish-speaking country you’re visiting — or ask a native speaker!

Is it Important to Say Good Morning in Spanish?

Yes, it’s important to know how to say good morning in Spanish. This greeting is integral to connecting with locals in Spanish-speaking countries.

In most Spanish-speaking countries, it’s expected that you’ll greet shopkeepers, waiters, and even when you’re asking strangers for directions! Not doing so can be considered rude.

Instead, try to start all your encounters politely. A simple Buenos días in the morning will set the tone for a positive interaction.

Depending on which country you visit, you’ll find varying degrees of warmth coming from others. But don’t worry, even if the person doesn’t smile or seem very responsive, your morning greeting still means a great deal.

Other Morning Greetings in Spanish

As you travel, and the more comfortable you get with your Spanish, you’ll likely desire to expand your vernacular by saying some other greetings besides Good Morning. Here you’ll find a few suggestions for morning wishes in Spanish.

2. Buenas – Hello

🔊 ‘bwenas | bwe-nahs

Derived from Buenos días, Buenas is a short, casual greeting used in some parts of the Spanish-speaking world (We used this almost exclusively when I was living in Valencia, Spain).

You can technically use it at any time of the day to mean hello, but when you use it in the morning, it’s understood as good morning.

3. ¡Buenos! – Morning!

🔊 ‘bwenos | bwe-nohs

Buenos is a shorter version of Buenos días used in some Spanish-speaking countries, meaning, Morning!

4. ¡Buen día! – Good day!

Buen día means Good day in Spanish. This phrase is typically used in countries like Mexico, Argentina, and several Central American countries and can be used to greet someone at any time of day.

5. Hola – Hello

🔊 ola | oh-la

Hola is Hello in Spanish, and you can say Hola any time of day! Just like in English, however, hola could be considered more informal than other greetings. If you’re meeting someone for the first time or approaching someone in a shop, for example, it may be better to err on the side of caution and use a more formal greeting like Buenos días.

It’s also common to say, Hi, good morning: Hola, buenos días.

7. Saludos – Greetings

🔊 saluðos | sah-loo-dos

An additional way to say “Good morning” in Spanish is saludos. Saludos means “greetings”, and and can be used for both morning and afternoon.

It’s very common to use the word in written form, for example, at the end of an email. In this case, it means something similar to regards or cordially.

8. ¡Qué tengas un buen día! – Have a great day!

🔊 ˈke teŋgas un bwen ˈdia | ke ten-ɡas um bwen dee-ya

If you want to tell someone to have a good day in Spanish, you can use the phrase que tengas un buen día. This is a very common way to say have a good/great/nice day in Spanish-speaking countries.

You can use the saying with anyone, from friends and family to co-workers and strangers—whenever you or they are leaving.

Remember, with this phrase, you need to conjugate the verb tener (to have) depending on who you’re speaking to:

Que tengas buen día – Have a good day (casual)
Que tenga buen día – Have a good day (formal)
Que tengan buen día – Have a good day (addressing a group, informally or formally)

To emphasize, and say I hope you have a good day in Spanish, add the word Ojalá (oh-hah-lah). Ojalá means I hope in Spanish.

Ojalá que tengas buen día – I hope you have a good day (casual)
Ojalá que tenga buen día – I hope you have a good day (formal)
Ojalá que tengan buen día – I hope you all have a good day (addressing a group, informally or formally)

🔊 ˈke teŋgas un gɾan ˈdia | ke ten-ɡas un gran dee-ya

Que tengas un gran día – Have a good day (casual)
Que tenga un gran día – Have a good day (formal)
Que tengan un gran día – Have a good day (addressing a group, informally or formally)

Just as in the previous example, you may add Ojalá to say, I hope you have a good day in Spanish: Ojalá que tengas un gran día

8. ¡Qué tengas un lindo día! – Have a nice day!

🔊 ˈke teŋgas un lindo ˈdia | ke ten-ɡas un lin-do dee-ya

Feel free to add Ojalá to say, I hope you have a nice day in Spanish: Ojalá que tengas un lindo día

10. ¿Qué tal tu mañana? – ¿How’s your morning going?

🔊 ˈke tal tu maɲana | kay tahl too mahn-yah-nah

You might say Qué tal tu mañana? to ask someone how their morning is going. This question typically works best mid-morning, and is rather informal.

Alternatively, you can ask someone ¿Cómo va tu mañana? (koh-moh ba too mahn-yahn-ah) to ask someone how their morning has been. This expression directly translates to How is your morning going? To address someone formally, use the pronoun su: ¿Cómo va su mañana?

11. ¿Cómo le va el día? – How’s your day going?

🔊 ˈkomo le ba el ˈdia | koh-moh leh ba el dee-yah

For a more polite way to ask how someone’s day is going in Spanish, try using the expression ¿Cómo le va el día? It’s always better to use a more formal way of greeting someone if you don’t know them well or if you’re meeting them for the first time.

Thus, this morning greeting would work well when meeting new coworkers, for example.

12. ¿Cómo estás esta mañana? – How are you this morning?

🔊 ˈkomo eˈstas esta maɲana | koh-moh eh-stahs es-stah mahn-yah-nah

To ask someone how they are in the morning, you can say:

To tell some, “Have a nice morning,” rather than a nice day you can say:

Que tengas una bonita mañana (casual)
Que tenga una bonita mañana (formal)
Que tengan una bonita mañana (to a group, informally or formally)

If you’d like to add emphasis by adding I hope to the beginning of the sentence, simple add Ojalá to mean, I hope you have nice morning in Spanish: Ojalá que tengas una bonita mañana

14. ¡Qué hermosa mañana! – What a lovely morning

🔊 ˈke eɾˈmosa maˈɲana | ke er-moh-sah mahn-yah-nah

To declare that the weather is nice or the day is beautiful, use the expression ¡Qué hermosa mañana! This means What a lovely morning! Or What a beautiful morning! This expression can be used with anyone.

You can simply say ¡Qué hermosa mañana! on its own, or you can add the word, ¿no? to the end like this to elicit a response:

Qué hermosa mañana, ¿no? – What a beautiful morning, right? Or What a lovely morning, isn’t it?
