Cultural Tip

In most Spanish‑speaking countries "buenos días" is used until midday, after which people switch to "buenas tardes" (good afternoon). It’s common to pair the greeting with a brief well‑being answer, especially in more formal or polite contexts. Avoid using "buen día" in everyday conversation; the plural form is the natural idiom.
