Now that you know the Polish months, the days of the week and the numbers, you can now say when your Birthday is. Let’s take a look at some phrases.
That’s it. You learned how to say happy birthday in Polish and how to state your birthday. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me when your birthday is. Here are some extra Polish lessons.
Wszystkiego najlepszego
which literally means “All the best” and is pretty generic. You can modify the phrase depending on the occasion. So for birthdays you can say:
Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin
“All the best on your birthday”.
If someone is getting married, you can say:
Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji ślubu
“All the best on your marriage”. But let’s go back to celebrating birthdays. Two words you might find useful are:
Życzenia “wishes” and Życzyć, which means ‘to wish”, but you will usually use: Życzę (Ci)…szczęścia i dużo miłości
which means “I wish (you) happiness and lots of love…”.
There’s also an easy option. There’s a song we sing to celebrate someone’s birthday in which we express our wish for them to live a hundred years. The song can be used for ll different ocassions: namedays, birthdays, weddings! A hundred years is Sto lat in Polish. If everything else fails, wish the birthday girl or boy “sto lat”. It’ll make them smile and you won’t have to struggle with all those consonants.
Do następnego razu… (Till next time…)
You can write birthday wishes as simple as following:
"Serdeczne życzenia z okazji urodzin!"
or
"Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin!"
or
"Sto lat!"
Let's break it down:
serdeczne - "from one's heart"
wszystkiego najlepszego - all the best
życzenia - wishes
z okazji - on the occasion of
urodzin - birthday
sto - hundred
lat - years
*Please note that the basic form for "birthday" is "urodziny", but in the sentence above, it changes to "urodzin". For example: "my birthday" - "moje urodziny", but "on the occasion of your birthday" - "z okazji Twoich urodzin".
*Wishing someone "Sto lat" is very popular in Poland, so is the song "Sto lat" - Polish version of "Happy Birthday". It means that we are wishing a long life to a person, who has birthday (sto lat means 100 years). :o)
*What are we wishing? Here are the most common wishes:
spełnienia marzeń - dreams to come true,
zdrowia - health,
szczęścia - happiness,
pomyślności - the best of luck,
radości - joy,
sukcesów - success.
And one more useful word: dużo - a lot! :)
Example:
Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin!
Spełnienia marzeń,
dużo zdrowia, szczęścia
i pomyślności.
Sto lat!
