Significado
A polite farewell, wishing someone a pleasant rest of their day.
Contexto cultural
The phrase is a key part of 'Höflichkeitsrituale' (rituals of politeness). Even if you are in a rush, skipping this in a shop can make you seem 'arrogant' or 'unfreundlich'. In Austria, you might hear 'Schönen Tag noch' followed by 'Wiederschauen' instead of 'Wiedersehen'. The sentiment remains identical. Swiss Germans might use 'Schöne Tag no' (dropping the 'n' in 'schönen' and 'noch' in dialect), but in High German contexts, the standard form is used. In the North, people are more laconic. You might just get a 'Schönen Tag!' without the 'noch', or even just a 'Moin!' as you leave.
The 'Gleichfalls' Rule
If someone says 'Schönen Tag noch' to you first, always respond with 'Danke, gleichfalls!' It's the fastest way to sound like a native.
Watch the Clock
Using this at 8 PM makes you sound like you've lost track of time. Switch to 'Abend' as soon as the streetlights come on.
