請問有些人說 "Have a xxxx xxxx", 是什麼意思?

首先，你打錯了，應是 Have a nice day. 個 day 萬萬不能加個 S。 之前有 a, 怎可加 S？

其實這句是日常打招呼 GREETINGS 常用的，等如 GOODBYE 說再見。我剛在一本級小學一年班的英文習作中見到。 如：

A: Good morning, XXX. How are you today?

B: Fine. Thank you. And you?

A. Good. Thank you.

B: Have a nice day.


還有，是公司招呼客人常用語。不過，用時要小心，有些地方會認為是不親切的表現。早日看了齣美國戲，有個人說 Have a nice day，但之前發生了不愉快的事，所以她說的時候是不是真的客氣和誠懇，而只是禮貌的表示道別。

Have a Nice Day is commonly spoken valediction, typically spoken by retail employees or clerks to customers after a sale, particularly in North America.
However in Britain, Canada or Australia it is sometimes regarded as an expression of insincerity; its use can annoy people.
It is associated with the smiley, a representation of smiling face.
It is also the title of several creative works.

這個 HAVE 文法上是 IMPERATIVE 命令式， 對像是 YOU 第二身，像所有命令式是用 PRESENT TENSE PLURAL，＝ YOU ＋ VERB。但意思上 ＝ WISH= I wish you a nice day. 但個 HAVE 是跟 IMPERATIVE 命令式， 對像是 YOU 第二身轉位。



其他例子如

Have a sandwich.

Have some tea.

Get up.

至於你另一題的 THANKS，則是另一回事，代我有空會再回答。

HO, 我在另一題解答了，你無 CLICK 入我 A／C 看嗎？那題也是最佳回答。希望你是對事不對人。我不清楚的便不會答，最怕答錯老點人，因為發問者識就不會問，好多時答錯都當對。

1.have + past participle
2.have = 有的意思
3.have = verb to be

p.s. thank / thanks
if you use "thank" as a verb, you may write the sentence is thank you very much while you may rewrite as a single word "thanks". This is also okay.....
