Shortest of all German Classes so far but equally important.
How do you say Merry Christmas in German?
frohe Weihnachten! (Fr-o-hay vine-akh-ten)
and
Happy New Year
glückliches neues Jahr! (Glyuk-lishes noyes yaar)
And since we are on the subject of greetings, here are some more. (Some you have encountered in my previous lesson)
guten Morgen - Good Morning (gooten morgen)
guten Tag - Good Day (gooten taakh)
guten Abend - Good Evening (gooten aabent)
gute Nacht - Good Night (goo-tay naakht)
Now it gets a little complicated
alles Gute zum Geburtstag - Happy Birthday (aales goo-tay tsoom gay-burts-takh) - since Happy Birthday is simpler most of the Germans will understand a simple happy birthday.
herzlichen Glückwunsch! - Congratulations (hair-ts-lishen glyuk-woonsh)
herzliche Grüße - Best Wishes (hairts-lishay gryusse)
viel Glück - Good luck (feel glyuck)
And finally ...
Viel Spaß! - Have fun (feel spass)
