المعنى
A greeting for someone's birthday.
خلفية ثقافية
In France, 'Bonne fête' is strictly for name days, not birthdays. Using it for a birthday can cause confusion. In Quebec, 'Bonne fête' is the standard way to say 'Happy Birthday'. The 'Joyeux anniversaire' song is sung to the same tune as 'Happy Birthday to You'.
Keep it simple
You don't need to add anything else. 'Joyeux anniversaire !' is perfect on its own.
Name days
If you are in France, avoid 'Bonne fête' unless you know it is the person's name day.
