Buen día

I see this a lot. Is it a regionalism or slang for buenos días?

It's used a lot and understood all over, but it is especially used in Argentina.

I hear it a bit in Valencia, possibly as a calque from bon dia in Valencià.

I've always heard it used by people from Argentina. I understand it but don't use it.

"Buen día" se usa también bastante en México.

Puede usarse para sustituir "buenos días" y "buenas tardes". En general se usa para desear que la otra persona tenga un día agradable.

y "buenas tardes"
¡Es bueno oír! Es mucho más fácil pronunciar que "buenas tardes". Siempro evadir diciendo "buenas tardes" porque es demasiado dificil pronunciar correctemente.
