معنی
To appear well or healthy, often after an illness or rest.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Spain, it is very common to hear '¡Qué buena cara tienes!' as a standard greeting for someone you haven't seen in a few days. It is a way of being 'majo' (nice). In Mexico, the phrase is often used with 'traer' (to bring) instead of 'tener' in informal speech. Argentines might use 'buen semblante' in slightly more formal or medical contexts, but 'buena cara' remains the king of colloquial health compliments.
Use it as a safe compliment
If you want to be nice but don't want to sound like you're flirting, this is the perfect phrase.
Careful with 'No'
Telling someone 'No tienes buena cara' is very direct. Use it only with people you know well.
