So, Happy Birthday, then?

Or is it just «congrats»?

For who? It's not my birthday XD

It’s the workers’ day.

Long marches through the city here. I had to take a break from it in the middle.

Oof.

No such thing here, it's not a national holiday here. Not enough voting for extremist left or right parties in the past to make it one.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact saying happy birthday on holidays (primarily may 17th) is one of the single dumbest things to happen in this country

Wait, that's a thing there?!

Like, an actual thing and not just a joke from Andreas?

@Tinkeringbell Yes.

I agree then. It's dumb.

What's wrong with 'Happy holiday'?!

@Tinkeringbell I don't think we really have a good equivalent, but we really should get one instead of just using "happy birthday"

Yep. I propose a national holiday to find one :P

:P

«Happy Birthday» doesn’t really translate literally in Norwegian. It gets translated to «gratulerer med dagen» which means «Gratulations with today».

Of course, you can say «gratulerer med fødselsdagen/bursdagen» on somebody’s Birthday, but, not that many seem to do it.

Oh, I see I used «Happy Birthday» at the start here.

Bad choice.

Ah, so more a "happy day" than "happy birthday". Then y'all just need a special one for birthday :P

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact While technically correct, it's overwhelmingly used for birthdays

@Tinkeringbell «Fødselsdag»/«bursdag»

Ah yeah sorry I'm slow today

Don't worry, I'm slow every day.
