તમારો દિવસ સારો રહે
tamāro divas sāro rahe
The English phrase "have a good day" is translated into Gujarati as તમારો દિવસ સારો રહે (tamāro divas sāro rahe).
તમારો દિવસ સારો રહે is a polite parting wish used when someone is leaving, serving the same purpose as "have a nice day" in English.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of tamāro (your), divas (day), sāro (good) and rahe (stay/remain).
Which one should you use?
You can change the tone of the phrase by changing the possessive pronoun. Using તમારો દિવસ સારો રહે is the standard polite form, while replacing tamāro with તારો in તારો દિવસ સારો રહે makes the phrase informal.
How does it change in a sentence?
The verb rahe is in the subjunctive mood, which expresses a wish or a desire rather than a statement of fact.
How do you pronounce it?
tamāro divas sāro rahe
