When is "buen" used

"Buen" is a shortened or abbreviated form of "bueno" that is only used before masculine singular nouns that start with a stressed "a" or "ha".
In Spanish, there are some words that begin with a stressed "a" or "ha" that act as if they are feminine nouns, even though they are grammatically masculine. In these cases, the article "el" and the adjective "bueno" change to "el" and "buen" respectively to avoid having two consecutive stressed syllables.

Examples

Un buen amigo (A good friend)
El buen hombre (The good man)
Note that "buen" is only used before masculine singular nouns that begin with a stressed "a" or "ha". For all other masculine singular nouns, the full form "bueno" should be used.

Then why "buen dia"?

You're right, "buen d�a" is an exception to the rule I mentioned earlier. In Spanish, "d�a" (day) is a masculine noun, but it doesn't start with a stressed "a" or "ha". Therefore, the correct form of the adjective to use with "d�a" is "bueno" and not "buen".
So, the correct way to say "good day" in Spanish is "buen d�a". This is a common greeting in Spanish and it's used to wish someone a good day or to say "hello" during the day. Other examples of correct uses of "bueno" are "buenos d�as" (good morning) or "buenas tardes" (good afternoon).

Are there other exceptions like "buen dia" for buen?

"Buen" is used before masculine singular nouns that begin with an unstressed "i". For example: "un buen hombre" (a good man) or "un buen artista" (a good artist).
"Buen" is also used before the adjectives "alto" (tall) and "bajo" (short) when they come after the noun. For example: "un hombre de buenos modales y bajo perfil" (a man with good manners and a low profile).
"Buen" is used before the noun "rato" to mean "a good while". For example: "hace un buen rato que no lo veo" (it's been a good while since I've seen him).
Note that these are all specific cases where "buen" is used instead of the standard form "bueno". In general, "bueno" is the correct form to use before masculine singular nouns that don't start with a stressed "a" or "ha".

Why "buenos dias"?

"Buenos d�as" is a common Spanish greeting that is used to say "good morning". The phrase "buenos d�as" is actually the plural form of "buen d�a", which means "good day".
In Spanish, it is common to use the plural form when greeting people, even if you are only speaking to one person. This is because the plural form is seen as more polite and respectful. Using the plural form of a greeting is also a way of acknowledging that you are addressing the person in the context of a larger group, such as a family, a workplace, or a community.
So, when you say "buenos d�as", you are wishing someone a good morning and acknowledging them as part of a larger group. Other common examples of plural greetings in Spanish include "buenas tardes" (good afternoon) and "buenas noches" (good night).
