意思
A wish for someone on their birthday.
文化背景
Brazilians often say 'Parabéns' more than 'Feliz aniversário'. It is common to pull the person's ear (one pull for each year) in some traditional families, though this is fading. In Portugal, the celebration is slightly more reserved than in Brazil, but 'Muitos parabéns' is the go-to phrase. The birthday person often treats friends to a drink or meal. Birthdays are community events. Music and dance are essential, and the phrase is often sung rather than just spoken.
The 'Parabéns' Shortcut
If you forget the long word 'aniversário', just say 'Parabéns!' (Pa-ra-BENS). It's 100% correct and very natural.
Social Media Etiquette
In Brazil, it's common to write 'HBD' as 'HB' or 'Parabéns' on social media. 'Feliz niver' is the most popular informal written form.

常见问题
4 个问题Yes, but you should add 'de casamento' to be clear. Otherwise, people might think it's your birthday.
The phrase itself is neutral because 'Feliz' doesn't change, but 'aniversário' is a masculine noun.
'Feliz aniversário' is specific to birthdays/anniversaries. 'Parabéns' is general 'congratulations' for any achievement.
Simply say 'Obrigado' (if you are male) or 'Obrigada' (if you are female).
