How do say, "Happy birthday?"
My friend's birthday is coming up and I would like to say, "Happy Birthday" to him properly. I only know "tanjou bi" or "tanjou no hi" but I don't know how to say it with "happy" at the beginning of it.

Question

Answer

Hey Ishiki,
You can say "お誕生日おめでとう(otanjoubi omedetou)".
お誕生日（おたんじょうび） means birthday. It is a different expression between English and Japanese.
