意味
To mark the anniversary of one's birth with festivities.
文化的背景
The 'Quinceañera' is the most important birthday for girls, symbolizing the transition to womanhood. It involves a mass, a waltz, and a massive party. It is common to pull the ears of the birthday person (tirones de orejas)—one pull for each year they have lived. The 'Asado' (barbecue) is the quintessential way to celebrate a birthday among friends and family. The song 'Ay, qué noche tan preciosa' is sung instead of or in addition to 'Happy Birthday'. It is much longer and more melodic.
Shorten it!
In 90% of casual conversations, just say 'el cumple'. It sounds much more natural.
The 'S' is mandatory
Never say 'cumpleaño'. Even if it's just one birthday, the word is always plural in form.
