So recently it was my birthday.
And guess what?
I got a lot of boring messages, don't you?
On your birthday?
What happens?
You get those same old boring messages from forwarded
messages that somebody else sends you, it's the same happy birthday, have a nice day
and you get you wonder is there something more authentic?
Is there something more fun?
So this lesson is going to teach you 20 different ways to wish Happy
Birthday.
Believe me, I've got some really fun phrases and it's going to help you get out of that boring way to
say happy birthday.
So watch this entire lesson so that you learn the best phrases to wish somebody a
happy birthday.
The first one is, don't count the candles, enjoy the
party.
Now a lot of people are very insecure of getting old.
Right?
I mean I won't tell you my age, but I tend to sometimes have a problem
with counting the candles.
But you know what, when someone's, when someone celebrating their birthday, just tell them,
don't count the candles, enjoy the party.
Or you could tell people May your day be as awesome as you are.
It's not the number of years, it's the kind of person that you are evolving
into which makes all the difference.
So I would suggest you simply say May your Day be as awesome as you are
or sometimes a lot of you want to make the other
person happy, right?
So if someone's birthday and if that person is your very good friend, what would you tell
them?
You can say you always make me happy.
So today on your birthday I want to make you as happy as possible.
Or you could say so today I want to return the favor and that's why I want to
wish you a happy birthday and give you a good time.
What else could you possibly say? Now.
This is a very common one.
But you could kind of add a little more to it.
You could say may all your wishes come true as you grow
older.
You know?
So as we grow older we have more goals
So we have more things we want to achieve.
And I think this is a really nice wish that you can you can wish someone on their
birthday or you could say may this year
be the greatest year you ever have in your life.
Okay, so you have to understand that you know a lot of birthdays some birthdays are
okay, somebody's are fun.
But you want to wish the person that this birthday day is the best
in their entire life.
Okay.
It's a really good wish to to have for someone on their birthday.
Now.
Some people well, they eat a lot of chocolate.
Okay.
I know a lot of people like that.
They're probably watching this video.
So this is for you - Spare some cake for me.
Don't get old and greedy.
Well guess what?
Some people want to eat a lot of cake.
That's nice.
But this is a fun way.
Okay, so with friends, you can actually use this phrase and tell them to spare some cake for
you.
Okay, cake is always good on birthdays only. All right then the
next one you deserve a spectacular day to turn a year
older and bolder.
So you know what a birthday is.
A very important day.
So you want to tell the person, hey, you deserve this wonderful day, which
means you deserve a spectacular day why?
Because you are turning a year older and possibly a lot more bolder.
Now, sometimes it's really difficult to imagine that
the years have gone by so quickly.
Right?
I mean time flies.
We all know that.
And when you want to express that feeling, you can say, gosh,
I cannot believe that you are now so old.
Soon you'll be getting wrinkles Now.
Again, This is not to make fun of someone.
It's just like a really funny, cheeky way of talking to your friends.
Okay, so use this with people that are very close to you.
Okay?
Because a lot of people sometimes tell their friends, hey, you're getting really all now you're going to get
wrinkles.
But it's not, it's not to help them feel bad.
It's just in good fun.
Okay, so make sure you use this when you want to have a little fun with your friends
or you could say on this day, Okay, let's say
25 years ago a beautiful baby was born.
Right?
So we all know that birthdays are really important.
Why?
Because you know when your parents gave you birth you existed
and that's like the wonderful, the most wonderful thing ever.
Right?
So you want to remind people that see on this day, 25 years ago or 50 years ago,
whatever your age is, a beautiful baby was born, Okay, it's a really good way to
tell people that they are beautiful and they're wonderful.
Or you could say in a fun way again, this only with friendly, in a
friendly, banterish way, you are ageing too fast, so
you should try taking it slow.
Okay, so some people, like I said, time goes by quickly, time flies.
And you know, you tend to understand, you tend to realize that someone who was your
childhood friend is now suddenly, you know, like getting married and you know,
and they are old enough to have their own Children and they're like, hey, you're aging too fast, You should
try taking it slow.
Okay, a friendly way.
Or I could say, hey, have a lovely turnover champ or have a
lovely turnover fighter.
Why do we say turnover?
And basically means you've turned over a new leaf, You've, you've turned over the other
side way, You're now starting something new in the new year in your
life?
Or you could use a more traditional phrase by saying celebrate good
times and great aging moments, okay, a more traditional phrase, but
you could definitely use it.
Um or you could say cheers to your new age and happiness, right?
Because new age also brings with it some happiness.
Okay, let's be, let's be honest that it's not always getting old
as you grow older, you achieve new things, which means you also get more happiness.
Um... or you could say it is yet another year that
we celebrate your turn over.
So um you know, sometimes you've had friends for many, many years and
this is probably like the 29th year, you are celebrating your turn
over your birthday with them and you want to remind them that, look, we've always celebrated
your birthday and this is yet another year.
Okay.
So that makes them feel that they are close to you and they've been with you, they've stuck
with you for so long alright.
Or you could say Greying or maturity is knocking at your
door.
So you know, when you tend to grow like over 30 years old, sometimes you tend to
get gray hair and you become a little mature, which is not a bad thing really.
But I think in a fun way you could say, hey, that's knocking at your door, which means you're gonna see
it, it's coming definitely coming alright.
Or you could say finally you survived another year.
I mean, I think you know with the pandemic and everything, if we're alive, I think that's a miracle, right?
So remember the day, I think I'd say something like this.
Finally, I survived another year.
Okay, not dead survived another year.
Or you could say congratulations on staying alive again.
I think just the fact that we are alive is something we need to take gratitude
for.
And this is something you could actually use when you're wishing someone on their birthday.
All right.
All you could say make your special day memorable with some good decisions.
I'll tell you why I've added this phrase over here because believe me,
when people grow older, they celebrate their birthday, but they do a little
stupid things.
You know, they drink too much.
They kind of like dance too much and they act very silly.
But you want to remind them that, okay, this is your special day, makes them memorable
memories, but don't make stupid decisions, okay.
Your decisions should be good.
Don't get out of hand.
Okay, so in a fun way, you can use this phrase, um, or you could see
I recall how on this day you escaped from the womb.
Yeah.
Well, you know, it sounds a little funny if you think about it.
But yes, when we were born, we came out of our mother's womb and
you want to remind the person that I recall how you actually made that escape.
Or the more millennial phrase now people use is
happy anniversary.
I've not started using it yet, but I would recommend that maybe if you want to try something new, you could
definitely use this.
Uh I believe that if you use all these phrases, your posts on social media, the
way you talk will definitely sound a lot better.
Your english will sound richer and guess what?
You're gonna end up making the persons per day a lot
better and give them a big smile on their face.
Alright, so the next time you wish them happy birthday to you, make sure you
use these phrases, I'll be back with some new lessons with some new phrases for other
situations.
But until then you keep learning and keep practicing.
I'll see you soon.
Bye!
