Is it almost Friday?
To celebrate Friday’s, we’ve written this article in Spanish so that you can impress your friends with your knowledge of the language.
How to Say Happy Friday in Spanish
In Spanish, there are a few different ways to say “Happy Friday,” but here are three that are most common:
Feliz viernes! This one literally means “Happy Friday.” It’s simple and straightforward—the perfect way to start your weekend.
¡Buenas tardes! This phrase literally means “Good Afternoon.” It can be used at any time during the day, but if you want to be extra friendly, this is a great way to say goodbye as you’re leaving work on Friday afternoon.
¡Que tengas un buen fin de semana! This one translates roughly as “Have a good weekend!” It’s also a good way to wish someone luck before they go off for the weekend—they’ll probably need it!
Saying Happy in Spanish
In Spanish, there are two ways of saying “happy.” You can say feliz or alegre. The first is used when you want to wish someone a happy birthday or other special day. The second is used when you’re just feeling happy.
In addition to happy, there are other ways to say “happy” in Spanish. Some people might say contento (content), others might say satisfecho (satisfied), and some might say satisfecho también (also satisfied). It depends on what they’re feeling at the moment!
How to Spend a Happy Friday in Spain
Friday is the day most businesses close in Spain, so people go out to eat or take a walk after work. In Madrid, there are many pedestrian streets that are closed on Friday evenings and weekends for people to enjoy. It’s not uncommon for Spaniards to spend the night out on a Friday—they like to stay up late!
Finally, let’s talk about how Spaniards celebrate the weekend: by going out! Most Spaniards have Saturday night plans with their friends or significant others by 9pm on Friday night (if not earlier). And if they don’t have plans already set up? Well then they’ll make some! They will also go out for bar hopping, which is called copetín in Spain.
And finally, it’s worth noting that not all Spaniards observe Sunday as a day of rest. Some work on Sundays because they need the money from working those extra days; others work on Sundays because they want more money than what their job pays them for working just five days per week.
