HAVE a Good Day!!
I really don't be able to remember a tipical english expression!! What anger!! :-(
In Italy we simply say: "Good day!" or "Good lunch!" or "Good weekend!"
Instead, in english you are used to add the verb "to have" at the beginning of the sentence: "Have a good day!", "Have a good lunch!", "Have a good weekend!", ... Isn't it?
Please can you suggest me a list of expressions like these ones? Thank you very much.

(non riuscire si traduce con can't. Se vuoi usare be able to, devi usare il verbo essere. Per esempio: I am not able to remember).

Have a good one (commonly used in the U.S. instead of "have a good day")
Have a good time (divertiti/passa un buon tempo "letteralmente"). Ex: have a good time at the gym
Have a hard time (avere difficoltà a)- I am having a hard time understanding this English grammar rule. Sto avendo difficoltà a capire questa regola grammaticale inglese.
Have a cold (avere il raffreddore, da non confonder con: to be cold che significa "stare male")
and many others :)

I wouldn't use "good day" by itself. "Have a good day" or "have a nice day" is usually said to someone that is leaving, not as a greeting. You'll hear shopkeepers say this to customers as they leave or I might say it to my co-workers as they are leaving.

Hi Elliot!
Thank you very much for your reply! Can you explain me better this concept? When do you use the expression "Have a good day!", and when do you prefer the simpler "Good day?" :-)

It would be better to say in English "I can not remember", or even better, "I can't remember".
For the "Have a good day!" that is perfect, but the meaning would still come across fine with a "good day!"

P.s. Is it better "I don't be able to remember ..." or "I don't be able to fix (in my mind) ..."? :-)
