Birthday wishes

Wishing someone on their birthday.

🌍

문화적 배경

Birthdays often involve wearing new clothes (Puthu Aadai) and visiting a temple early in the morning for a special Archanai. In Sri Lanka, the 31st day after birth is sometimes celebrated as the first 'birthday' milestone, though the annual birthday is also observed with traditional sweets like Payasam. The 'Tamil Birthday Song' (Piranthanaal Vaazhthukkal) is often played at parties, blending Western cake-cutting with Tamil lyrics. The 60th birthday (60-aam kalyanam) is considered a major milestone, almost like a second wedding, where the phrase is used with great solemnity.

💡

Add 'Iniya'

Always add 'Iniya' (Sweet) at the start to sound more natural and warm.

⚠️

The 'zh' sound

Don't pronounce 'Vaazhthu' as 'Vaalthu'. The 'zh' sound is crucial for sounding like a native.

Both are used. 'Vaazhthugal' is grammatically correct in pure Tamil, but 'Vaazhthukkal' is much more common in everyday speech and writing.

Simply say 'Mikka Nandri' (Many thanks) or 'Nandri' (Thanks).

No, for a company, use 'Niruvaana Naal Vaazhthukkal' (Foundation Day Wishes).

Just saying 'Vaazhthukkal machi!' or 'Happy birthday da!' is very common among friends.

Yes, there are several, but the most famous one starts with 'Piranthanaal vaazhthukkal, piranthanaal vaazhthukkal...'

Traditionally by the star (Nakshatram), but modern Tamils celebrate both or just the Gregorian date.

Use 'இனிய பிறந்தநாள் நல்வாழ்த்துகள்'.

It means 'sweet' or 'pleasant'. It's the equivalent of 'Happy' in this context.

Yes, almost all Tamil speakers will understand 'Happy Birthday', but using Tamil is more personal.

It's generally fine, but some superstitious people prefer to be wished only on the day or after.

You can say 'Ungal iruvarukkum piranthanaal vaazhthukkal' (Birthday wishes to both of you).

It's just the English acronym used in Tamil script: ஹெச்.பி.டி.
