Sveicu dzimšanas dienā!

Happy birthday!

Birthday congratulation.

🌍

문화적 배경

Flower etiquette is paramount. Always give an odd number of flowers. Even numbers are for funerals. Name Days (vārda dienas) are often celebrated more than birthdays. Don't forget to check the calendar! The 'Kliņģeris' is the traditional birthday cake—a large, sweet, pretzel-shaped bread. It is common to lift the birthday person in their chair—one lift for every year of their age.

The Flower Rule

Never give an even number of flowers. It's for funerals only!

🎯

Name Day Bonus

If you miss a birthday, check for their Name Day. It's a great second chance to be polite.

⚠️

Don't say 'Priecīgu'

Avoid 'Priecīgu dzimšanas dienu'—it's an anglicism that sounds unnatural.

Yes, 'Daudz laimes' is a shorter, more casual way to say 'Happy Birthday'. It literally means 'Much happiness'.

Yes, but for a 50th, it's even better to say 'Sveicu lielajā jubilejā!' (Congrats on the big jubilee!).

Simply say 'Paldies!' (Thank you) or 'Paldies par sveicienu!' (Thank you for the greeting).

It's in the locative case, which means 'on the day'. In Latvian, we congratulate someone *on* the occasion.
