@brenda_rmo24 You can use that in formal communication, but it kind of sounds a little unnatural. Use "Have a great day" or "I hope your day goes well".

@ray_ioz No, it is most definitely not correct. Just because some under-educated mainly young or foreign people speak poor English occasionally doesn't make it right, this is grammatically incorrect.

@brenda_rmo24 Most definitely incorrect; to use this mis-phrase would make you appear under-educated or illiterate in English speaking territories. As a native British-English speaker in my 50s, I hear this occasionally from younger people, sometimes foreign, in low placed shop jobs who likely have no formal English qualification and now learn English from Tiktok or the unreal world of internet! They may say it because they cannot think of the word for the remaining part of the day such as afternoon, evening or night. Better to just say either "Enjoy the rest of your day" or "Have a good afternoon", "Have a good evening" etc. On that note, enjoy whatever remains of the day in which you are reading this!!!!!!
