Wishing someone a good weekend.
Contexto cultural
Dutch people are very direct. If they say 'fijn weekend', they mean it, but they also value the boundary between work and home. In Flanders, the phrase is used similarly, but sometimes 'Prettig weekend' is preferred in more formal settings.
The 'Alvast' trick
Add 'alvast' if it's Thursday. It means 'in advance' and makes you sound very natural.
Don't overthink it
It's a standard phrase. A simple smile is just as important as the words.
