Question 3 of 28
3. Question
How do you say ‘good morning’ in Spanish?
Correct
That’s right, although literally it means ‘good day’, ‘buenos días’ is used as the equivalent of the English ‘good morning’. Bien hecho. Wel done.
It’s important to remember that the ‘buenos’ must be masculine and plural to match the ‘días’. And that although it may have seemed like the logical answer, ‘buena mañana’ is not a standard Spanish greeting.
Incorrect
No the correct answer is ‘buenos días’. The ‘buenos’ must be masculine and plural to match the ‘días’.
Although literally it does mean ‘good day’, this is the greeting that is used as the equivalent of the English ‘good morning’.
And although it may have seemed like the obvious answer, buena mañana on the other hand is not a standard Spanish greeting.
