Re: nice
To say "have a nice day", I'd say "Que tenga(s) un buen día"

Re: nice
I think instead of using tengas it would be "tienes" because tener is irregular. In the I or yo form it is tengo, but in the you or tu form it is tienes. In the He/she or el/ella form it is tiene. the we or nosotros form is conjugated regularly as tenemos, and the they or ellos form is irregular as tienen. "Tienes una buena dia" would work. However using any of the different forms of nice would work. In the future tense, which is even better, it would be "tendrás una buena dia". The future tense is irregular too. As for why it's "buena" instead of "buen", with "dia" it's feminine, which is why it's "una" instead of "un". I think that simpatico/a is more for describing peoples personalities rather than an item or a thing. I believe buen and buena are more like good than nice. They are fairly interchangeable though, so you can use whichever word you like and you will probably still be understood. Using simpatico/a it would be "tendrás una simpatica dia."
Just thought that would help. |

Re: nice
Actually tengas is the informal you in subjunctive mode, also used for negative commands. Ten is the informal you command.
Ten cuidado - Be careful - Informal command No tengas miedo - Don't be afraid - Informal command (negative) No quiero que tengas miedo - I don't want you to be afraid - Subjunctive
