бажа́ю га́рного дня	bažáju hárnoho dnja

This phrase is used specifically when parting ways during the daytime to wish someone well for the remainder of their day.

The phrase га́рного дня literally translates to "of a good day" because the adjective and noun are in the genitive case.

The form бажа́ю га́рного дня is more formal and is suitable for professional settings or when addressing someone with more respect.

The full form бажа́ю га́рного дня includes the verb бажа́ю (I wish), making it a complete sentence.

hárnoho dnja

In response to га́рного дня, a Ukrainian person will often reply вза́ємно, which means 'mutually' or 'the same to you'.
Ukrainian has several words for 'good', but га́рний specifically emphasizes aesthetic beauty or pleasantness rather than just moral goodness.
In very casual settings, Ukrainians may shorten the wish even further to just га́рного!, leaving the word 'day' entirely implied.

Бажа́ю вам га́рного дня.
Bazhaiu vam harnoho dnia.
I wish you a nice day.
Га́рного дня і со́лнечного настро́ю!
Harnoho dnia i solnechnoho nastroiu!
Have a nice day and a sunny mood!
