Congratulations play an important role in our life. You have just started learning the language or just want to congratulate someone or show your feelings, then this lesson is for you!

If your close or not yet very close friend has a birthday, then he must be congratulated on this happy day for him! But how to do it if this friend is a Spaniard!? Of course, Spanish is the best! You don't know how to do it yet? – then read on. Today we will tell you about the secret of the origin of the phrase that Spaniards usually congratulate each other on their birthday, and also find out how it sounds!

This phrase , literally it means "Happy Birthday", but in Russian it is interpreted as "Happy Birthday". It uses two words (rather even three) - the word feliz means "happy", and the word cumpleaños comes from the merger of two words - cumplir, which means "to fulfill" and años - "years".

So, if you want to wish happy birthday in Spanish, then you can say

In Spain, as in the rest of the world, birthday wishes are love (amor), happiness (felicidad), good luck (buena suerte), health (salud) and good friends (buenas amistades).

With these phrases you can cheer up your loved ones:

  • ¡Felicidades! - means "Congratulations!" or just "Congratulations!"
  • ¡Felicidades en tu dia! - "Congratulations on your day"
  • ¡Que cumplas muchos más! - Long life to you!
  • ¡Que tengas un feliz dia! - To make today a special (happy) day.

Grammar part

When you want to wish for something, you need to use Modo Subjuntivo, that is, the subjunctive mood.

Modo Subjuntivo should be used here, since it expresses an action that is likely to happen, and when we wish for something, we cannot be sure that this wish will come true, and what we wished to happen, therefore, we need to use the subjunctive mood. And also because one of the specific cases in which this mood should be used is an expression of desire for something, as well as uncertainty.

1) When the word que means let:

  • ¡Que el amor esté siempre en tu vida! May there always be love in your life.
  • ¡Que tus regalos hoy sean amor y felicidad! Let love and happiness be your gifts today.

2) When the particle que is translated as to. For example, when we want to wish something, we use will verbs that require the use of the subjunctive mood after themselves:

  • querer - to want
  • recommend - to recommend
  • desear - wish
  • rogar - to beg, to beg
  • aconsejar - to advise
  • pedir - to ask

For example:

  • Quiero que vivas en alegria. “I want you to live in joy.
  • Te pido que seas tan bueno como antes - I ask you to be as good as before.
  • Te pido que sigas siendo bueno. Te pido que siempre seas tan bueno - I ask that you always be (remain) so good.

Little dictionary

The Spaniards are known for their love for "". Holidays in this country are almost continuous, so there are a lot of reasons to congratulate the Spaniard. As a rule, all holidays, including Spanish ones, can be divided into several categories: state, religious, family, professional, etc.

Let's start with perhaps Christmas holidays (Navidad). If you want to congratulate someone on Merry Christmas ((Pascua) de Navidad) in Spanish, you can use the following expressions:

¡Feliz Navidad! and sometimes ¡Felices Navidades! - Merry Christmas! / Happy Christmas!

¡Feliz Navidad para tí y todos los tuyos! - Merry Christmas to you and your family!

¡Que esta Navidad sea de paz y felicidad para ti y tu familia! – May these Christmas days be full of peace and happiness for you and your family!

¡Paz, amor y felicidad en estas Fiestas! Peace, love and happiness this Christmas!

In a Spanish congratulatory speech, you can often find the phrases El Niño Dios (God's Child), El Niño Jesús (Baby Jesus), which is unusual for Russian speech:

¡Que el Niño Dios traiga felicidad y alegría! – May the Child of God bring happiness and joy!

¡Que el Niño Jesús conceda el cumplimiento de todos los sueños! May the Baby Jesus make all your dreams come true!

¡Que el Niño Jesús nazca en su/tu corazón! – May the Baby Jesus be born in your/your heart!

¡Que el Niño Jesús le/te llene de paz! – May the Baby Jesus fill you/you with peace!

¡Que los Reyes Magos traigan muchos regalos! - Let the Magi bestow their gifts!

Happy Easter

Easter (Pascua) is another fairly popular religious holiday among the Spaniards. On this day, it is customary to congratulate each other with the following words:

¡Feliz Pascua! - Happy easter!

¡Cristo resucitó! – ¡En verdad resucitó! / ¡Cristo ha resucitado! – ¡(Verdaderamente), ha resucitado! - Christ is risen! - Truly resurrected!

¡Felicidades por el Dia de la Madre/del Padre! – Happy Mother's Day/Father's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day

Perhaps the most popular family holiday is birthday.

Happy Birthday

¡Feliz cumpleaños! - Happy birthday!

¡Felicidades en el día de su/tu cumpleaños!, ¡Felicito por su/tu cumpleaños! - Happy birthday to you / you!

¡Felicidades en su/tu dia! – Congratulations on your / your day!

¡Feliz día!, ¡Feliz cumpleaños! - Happy Birthday!

¡Feliz aniversario! - Happy anniversary!

Birthday greetings can be accompanied by such wishes:

¡Que cumplas muchos más! - May all your dreams come true!

¡Que sea(s) feliz!, ¡Que sea(s) dichoso! - Be happy)!

¡Deseo un feliz cumpleaños! - I wish you a happy birthday!

¡Que tenga(s) éxito(s)!, ¡Que lo pase(s) bien!, ¡Páselo bien!, ¡Que tengas suerte! - Good luck!

¡Que se/te divierta(s)!, ¡Que se/te cunda el día! - Happy Birthday!

¡Que tenga(s) un buen día!, ¡Que tenga(s) un día agradable! - Have a good day!

¡Que Dios le/te dé larga vida!, ¡Muchos años de vida!, ¡Por muchos años! - Long time to live!

¡Salud, dinero y amor y tiempo para gozarlos! - I wish you health, money and love, and long years to enjoy it!

It is interesting that wishing for health, as in Russian, is not accepted among the Spaniards. A phrase like ¡Que tengas buena salud! (I wish you good health!) can be used only if the person is really sick.

In Spain, name days are celebrated much more often than ours, or Angel Day (El Día del Santo). You can congratulate a person on such a pleasant event by saying:

¡Felicidades por su/tu Santo! Happy Angel Day!

¡Felicidades/ Felicitamos por el Día onomástico! - Happy birthday!

Congratulations on your wedding day

The favorite family holiday in Spain is. The newlyweds receive the following congratulations:

¡Felicidades por su boda! - Happy wedding!

¡Felicitaciones a la novia y al novio por su feliz union! - Be happy!

¡Les deseamos a ambos toda la felicidad del mundo! - We wish you a lot of happiness!

¡Felicitaciones y los mejores deseos para ambos en el día de su boda! Congratulations and best wishes on your wedding day!

¡Felicitaciones por el gran paso! May your union be strong!

¡Felicitaciones por el gran “si”! - Congratulations on your great wedding day!

¡Que seas feliz hoy y siempre! – Be happy today and always!

¡Amor y ventura! - May you live happily ever after!

¡Que se besen! - Bitter!

With any congratulations, you can “get off” with common phrases:

¡Felicidades! - Congratulations! / We wish you happiness!

¡Mis felicitaciones!, ¡Le(te) felicito!, ¡Mis congratulaciones!, ¡Mis parabienes!— Congratulations! (However, the last two phrases are now out of use)

¡Felices fiestas! - Happy Holidays!

Very often, you can accompany your wish with emotionally expressive expressions, such as:

De todo corazón… - From the bottom of my heart…

Con todo afecto…/ Con todo el amor… – With love…

Sinceramente ... - Sincerely ...

It should be noted that they are not used as widely as in Russian in Spanish speech.

Congratulation in its style refers to colloquial speech, however, in the modern world it is becoming more and more popular to congratulate your work colleagues and business partners. Therefore, to do it beautifully, and most importantly, correctly, is a very necessary quality. In business communication, the most commonly used forms of congratulations of such a plan are:

¡Mis felicitaciones con motivo de ... - Please accept my congratulations on ...

¡Permítame felicitarle en nombre de… – Allow me on behalf of… to congratulate

¡Con motivo de esta fiesta, le deseamos a usted… - In connection with this holiday, we wish you…

¡Quisiera felicitar por… – I would like to congratulate…

¡Permítame brindar por… - Let me make a toast to…

It should be noted that table speech in Spanish culture is a very common phenomenon. You can raise a glass to an important event with the following words:

¡Levanto mi copa por… – I raise my glass to…

¡Me gustaría (quisiera) proponer un brindis por… – I would like to propose a toast to…

¡Brindo a su salud! - To your health!

¡Brindo por nuestros exitos! - For our success!

¡Brindo por buena suerte! - For good luck!

¡Qué sean felices!, ¡Enhorabuena!– Be happy!

Por ti (nuestro cumpleañero, amigo, Anna, Juan, etc.) - For you (our birthday, friend, Anna, Juan, etc.)!

¡Salud! - For health!

¡Salud, dinero y amor! - Health, prosperity and love!

In an informal setting, a kind of Chin-chin! toast is very common, which is pronounced at the end of the congratulations. The sound of this word resembles the clink of glasses and corresponds to our "For health"

Spain is a clean and beautiful sea, it is a warm sun that warms at any time of the year, it is temperamental people and a beautiful language. I must say that if you listen to the conversations of the Spaniards, then by the manner of speech you can understand a lot about them. Not only about a bright character, but also about a way of life, about views on this very life, about desires, dreams and goals. Language shapes us in many ways, and we are always glad to hear our native speech away from home. I will be glad to hear the native language and the native Spaniard, for some reason estranged from his homeland. A person who studies this language and who is close to Spanish culture will also be happy.

We can say one thing for sure - your desire to present birthday greetings in Spanish is truly true. You managed to move away from patterns and decide on something bold. Even if you do not speak Spanish very well, we will help you understand each individual line of wishes. They are presented on Vlio, so you do not have to choose a "pig in a poke".

With such congratulations, you will be able to stand out from the crowd and show the birthday person that you really worked on your congratulatory campaign. So don't hesitate to doubt it. Just take one of the works offered here, and go!
