Re: Have a nice day.

I'm reminded of the Sherrif of Rottingham's tendency to befuddle his 
English sentences when he's very excited: "Forest kill in deer illegal 
it crime is!!!"

Seriously, though.  "Have a nice day."  First I'd ask, what does the 
concept of a "good day," as we know it, mean to a Klingon?  Kill an 
enemy in battle?  {DaHjaj jagh DaHoH 'e' vItul}, perhaps?

If you just want something literal, well, I might suggest: {jaj QaQ 
yIghaj}.  The "adjective" verb follows the noun it modifies (TKD 4.4). 
 I don't know why you compounded {jaj} and {net}, unless it was a 
typo.  Bit since we know this is a rediculous thing for a Klingon to 
say, I won't even suggest it.
