When to use

How it works

This phrase means 'Spend a good day'.

• 좋은 (joeun): Adjective 'good', modifying 'day'. Derived from 좋다 (jota - to be good).
• 하루 (haru): Native Korean word for 'day'.
• 보내세요 (bonaeseyo): Polite informal imperative form of the verb 보내다 (bonaeda - to send, to spend time). The '-세요' ending is polite and directed at the listener.

Speech Level

Word Origin

'하루' (haru) is a native Korean word for 'day'. This contrasts with Sino-Korean words like '일' (il) which also means day but is often used in compound words or more formal contexts.
