A polite way to wish someone a good day.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Slovakia, it is considered rude to leave a small shop without saying 'Dovidenia' or 'Pekný deň'. Even if you didn't buy anything, a quick 'Pekný deň' to the shopkeeper is expected. In the capital, the pace is faster. You might hear a very clipped 'Pekný!' as people rush out of trams or cafes. It's less about the words and more about the social signal of ending the interaction. People in the east are often noted for their hospitality. You might find the wish expanded: 'Pekný deň vám vinšujem' (I wish you a nice day - using a more traditional/dialect word 'vinšujem'). In modern office culture, 'Pekný deň' is the standard email sign-off, often replacing the more formal 'S pozdravom' (With regards) in internal communications to appear more 'friendly' and 'agile'.
The 'Aj vám' response
If someone says 'Pekný deň' to you, the most natural response is 'Aj vám!' (To you too - formal) or 'Aj tebe!' (To you too - informal).
Don't say hello with it!
Remember, 'Pekný deň' is for leaving. If you say it when you walk in, people will think you're confused or in a huge rush.

The 'Zvyšok' trick
Use 'Pekný zvyšok dňa' after 2 PM. It makes you sound much more like a native speaker who is aware of the time.
