French Explanation: It's not German, I believe it's French, something like "good weekend" or "have a good weekend" maybe. HTH, Beth |

Have a good weekend Explanation: This isn't German and it isn't really French, either. The first three words are French, the last word is Spanish for week. Sounds like the author got confused. At least they meant well! ; ) Will |

Have a nice week-end! Explanation: If this appeared within a German context, it may reflect an effort to demonstrate the writer's command of other languages. People often do that with greetings. We say "ciao" and "arrivederci," whether we know any Italian or not (I don't know any).. What's presented here is a botched blend of the French adverb "bien," meaning "well," and the Spanish expression "fin de semana," which corresponds to "week-end." It may just bea not-so-suave farewell from someone who is enthusiastic about European unity. |
