Great idea for this HUB!
May I add the Hungarian, Belgium Flemish, and Luxemburg wishes to your list ? To all the Magyars 'Kellemes es Boldog Karacsonyt Kivanok'. To all the Flemish people in Belgium 'Zalig Kerstfeest' and to friends in Luxemburg the wishes go like this 'Schei Kreschtdeeg'
regards and best wishes for a Merry Christmas from Canada TOO
regards Zsuzsy
Great!
In Croatian, it's pronounced "SREH-tahn BO-zheech"
In Polish, it's Wesolych Swiat Bozego Narodzenia (veh-SO-wikh shveeont bo-ZHEH-go nah-ro-DZEH-nee-ah)
Sung Tan Chuk... This is interesting. MY grandmother is Korean, but she's forgotten a lot of her native language.
hello its great
Kung His Hsin Nien bing Chu Shen Tan, means "Wish you happy new year and Merry Christmas", but normally, Chinese will simply say: Sheng Dan Kuai Le! That's only means Merry Christmas.
Sheng: Saint
Dan: born
Kuai le: happy, merry.
merry christmas....Maligyang pasko sa inyong lahat dyan...
Happy Kung His Hsin Nien bing Chu Shen Tan
In Persian (both Farsi and Afghan) it's:
kheli khosh noel!
May I add Thai Language?
Merry X'mas = Suk Sun Wan Christ Mas
Edit for Japanese
Japanese - Shinnen omedeto >> this one means happy new year
the latter one is OK!
Thanks for an informative hub (and all the additional comments too). Sadly I only speak English, so Merry Christmas to you all!
Ways the phrase "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" is being said in many different languages in video:
