How to Say “How Was Your Day?” in Portuguese

como foi o seu dia?
como foi o seu dia? is the Portuguese way to say "how was your day?"
This phrase is used to ask someone about the events and experiences of their day.

Which one should you use?

The form como foi o seu dia? uses the past tense to ask about the day as a completed event. In contrast, como está o seu dia? uses the present tense to ask how the day is currently progressing.

Is it said differently in some regions?

In many Brazilian dialects, it is common to omit the definite article before the possessive, resulting in the form como foi seu dia? instead of como foi o seu dia?

How does it change in a sentence?

In informal contexts, the possessive 'teu' is often used in place of 'seu'.

When do people say it?

A natural response to this question is foi bom, e o seu? (it was good and yours?).
