How do you say 'Happy Birthday' in Dutch?


Hey guys! A Dutch friend of mine's BDay is coming up, so I would please like to know how to wish him well in Dutch. Tx

For your friend:
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag.

If you don't know the person well or the person is older:
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met uw verjaardag.

If your friend is young:
Fijne verjaardag :-)

Hippy Birtdaag or gelukkige verjaardag

Gelukkige Verjaardag

Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met je vejaardag.

fijne verjaardag!

Gefeliciteerd met uw verjaardag. Groetjes van mij.

Translated : Happy birthday. Greetings from me.

You could also add: Hallo. Hier is alles oke. Hoop hetzelfde bij jullie. Groetjes van mij.

Translated: Hi. Everything is fine here. I hope it is the same with you. Greetings from me (or leave out mij and put your American name.)

I hope this helps. I get these messages all of the time from my Dutch relatives and send them back to them as needed.
I lived in Holland for ten years and had to learn the language to be able to live there. The Dutch people are so delightful. I hope you have visited, or plan to. Don't ever pass up the opportunity, as the Netherlands is a wonderful place.

"fijne verjaardag"
but we also say just "happy birthday"

* Van Harte Gefeliciteerd.
* Van Harte Proficiat.
* Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag!
* Hartelijk Gefeliciteerd en een fijne dag toegewenst!
* Van harte gefeliciteerd en nog vele jaren.

That makes 5 choices ! Just pick one you like..:-))

Gelukkige verjaardag
