Questions & Answers about ¡Que tengas un fin de semana estupendo!
Why does this sentence just start with Que instead of saying "I hope"?
Why do we use tengas (the subjunctive) instead of tienes?
Because this sentence expresses a hope or wish, which requires the subjunctive mood. Even though the "I hope" isn't explicitly written out, that invisible Espero still triggers the subjunctive form tengas.
Why does the adjective estupendo go at the very end of the sentence?
In Spanish, descriptive adjectives usually go after the noun they modify. Here, the phrase fin de semana (weekend) acts as a single compound noun, so the adjective estupendo (great/wonderful) must be placed after the entire phrase, rather than just after fin.
