How to say 'Happy Birthday' in Portuguese?

There are two common ways of saying happy birthday in Portuguese. The first one is an expression that has the literal meaning of ‘happy birthday’ and the other can be used as something like a ‘congratulations’ on other contexts. Let’s see how it works:

Feliz Aniversário means Happy Birthday

Feliz Aniversário has the literal meaning of happy birthday. It is commonly used in a variety of contexts and you don’t have to be close to the person that’s celebrating his/her birthday to use it. Let’s see some examples:

Feliz Aniversário, Sofia! Muitas felicidades! – Happy Birthday Sofia! Best wishes!

Você está fazendo aniversário hoje? Não sabia! Feliz aniversário! – Are you having birthday today? Sorry, I didn’t know! Happy Birthday!

Aniversário means birthday. So, when someone is ‘fazendo aniversário’ he/she is having or celebrating his/her birthday.

Parabéns means congratulations, but is also used as happy birthday in Brazil

Here is an example that can vary between Brazilian and Portuguese speakers: using ‘parabéns’ (congratulations) as a way to wish a happy birthday in Portuguese is more common in Brazil than in Portugal, but it can also be heard in the European Portuguese, Enciclopediavirtual added.

Parabéns pelo seu aniversário! – Congratulations on your birthday!

Você gosta de comemorar seu aniversário

Portanto, o seu aniversário brilha durante todo o tempo

Chegamos a essa época do ano mais uma vez quando acrescentamos mais um para a sua pontuação

Tome uma bebida no fato de ter um pouco porque hoje é tudo sobre você
