Italian people love to celebrate anniversaries and special occasions, so you may want to learn what to say in these social situations. Let\u2019s take a look at the best ways to wish someone a happy birthday, whether you\u2019re doing it in person or by sending a text message or card.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How do you wish someone a happy birthday in Italian?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Birthdays in different cultures can be celebrated in different ways. In Italy, just like in many other countries, this occasion requires cakes, presents and parties. Some people choose to stay at home and cook, and even bake their own cake, while others would rather go out for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how the birthday is celebrated, Italians mainly express their best wishes by using one of these two phrases: <strong>buon compleanno<\/strong> or <strong>tanti auguri<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buon compleanno<\/strong> (listen to the <a href=\"https:\/\/forvo.com\/word\/buon_compleanno\/#it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pronunciation<\/a>) literally means \u201cgood birthday\u201d and Italians use it the same way English speakers use \u201cHappy birthday\u201d. Here are all the ways you can wish someone happy birthday, which are basically variations of these two:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buon compleanno<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Happy birthday<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Tanti auguri di buon compleanno<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Many wishes for your birthday<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Auguri<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Good wishes<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Tanti auguri<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Many wishes<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Tanti cari auguri, amico mio (or in case of a female: \u201camica mia\u201d)<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Many dear wishes, my friend<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>What is the meaning of <em>tanti auguri<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tanti auguri<\/strong> (listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/forvo.com\/word\/tanti_auguri\/#it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pronunciation<\/a>) is another common sentence to wish someone the best during their birthday. In fact, the popular song \u201c<em>happy birthday to you<\/em>\u201d is translated into Italian as \u201c<strong>tanti auguri a te\u201d.<\/strong> <strong>Tanti auguri,<\/strong> however, does not literally mean &#8220;happy birthday.&#8221; In fact, the Italian word for &#8220;birthday&#8221; (<strong>compleanno<\/strong>) does not even appear in this phrase.<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201c<strong>auguri<\/strong>\u201d literally means \u201cwell wishes\u201d and is often used in special occasions, while \u201c<strong>tanti<\/strong>\u201d means \u201cmany\u201d. You can also shorten this sentence and just say a simple <strong>auguri<\/strong>. Unlike <strong>buon compleanno<\/strong>, which is used only for birthdays, <strong>tanti auguri<\/strong> is more versatile.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, <strong>tanti auguri<\/strong> is a generic sentence which can be used to express your wishes in other important occasions such as Christmas, Easter, New Year, Mother\u2019s Day and so on. You can just say <strong>tanti auguri<\/strong>, or use full expressions such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tanti auguri<\/strong> di buon Natale<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Merry Christmas<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tanti auguri<\/strong> di buon anno nuovo<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Happy New Year<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tanti auguri<\/strong> per la festa della mamma<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Happy Mother\u2019s Day<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tanti auguri<\/strong> di buona Pasqua<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Happy Easter<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The general formula for these expressions is <em>best wishes<\/em> + <em>for<\/em> + <em>the name of the holiday<\/em>. However, <strong>tanti auguri<\/strong> is also used to wish someone success in life. You can say <strong>tanti auguri<\/strong> to a friend who is starting a new job, is going to have a baby, getting married or celebrating his\/her anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>And if you want to sing <em>Happy Birthday<\/em> in Italian with the same tune as in English, it goes like this:<\/p>\n<p><em>Tanti auguri a te,<br \/>\nTanti auguri a te,<br \/>\nTanti auguri a &lt;insert name&gt;<br \/>\nTanti auguri a te!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We already know that <strong>tanti auguri<\/strong> means <em>happy birthday<\/em>, while <strong>a te<\/strong> means <em>to you<\/em>. You can listen to the track <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pk0tmdUUeac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> and practice singing it for your friend or loved one!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Other ways to wish a happy birthday in Italian<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to be original you can use the expression <strong>cento di questi giorni<\/strong>, which literally means \u201cone hundred of these days\u201d and is used to wish someone 100 years of birthdays, or a long life. You can also say <strong>felice compleanno<\/strong>, which literally means happy birthday. <em>Felice<\/em> in fact means \u201chappy\u201d. This expression, however, is not so common anymore.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to ask somebody about their age<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re invited to a birthday party and you want to ask the <strong>festeggiato\/a<\/strong> (the birthday boy, or birthday girl) about his\/her age you can say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quanti anni compi?<br \/>\n<em>How old are you today?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In general, if you want to ask about someone\u2019s age when it\u2019s not their birthdays you should instead say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quanti anni hai?<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">How old are you?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Quanti<\/strong> means \u201chow many\u201d, <strong>anni<\/strong> means \u201cyears\u201d and <strong>hai<\/strong> is the second person singular of the verb to have. So, the literal translation of this sentence would be: <em>\u201chow many years do you have?\u201d <\/em>You can answer these questions by saying:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quanti anni compi?<br \/>\n<em><em>How old are you today?<\/em><\/em><\/li>\n<li>Compio 25 anni<em><em><em><br \/>\nI\u2019m turning 25<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/li>\n<li>Quanti anni hai?<br \/>\n<em><em>How old are you?<\/em><\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ho 25 anni<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">I\u2019m 25 years old<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that to tell your age in Italian you need to use the verb <strong>avere<\/strong> \u2013 <em>to have<\/em> and not the verb <em>to be,<\/em> like in English. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/italian-numbers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here<\/a> you can review Italian numbers to learn how to say your age and the date of your birthday.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Questions and answers about birthday celebrations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019ve known someone for a while, you may want to ask them when their birthday is. You can say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quando \u00e8 il tuo compleanno?<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">When is your birthday?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Or you can also ask \u201c<strong>quando compi gli anni<\/strong>?\u201d, which also means \u201cwhen is your birthday\u201d. <strong>Quando<\/strong> is when, <strong>anni<\/strong> is years, while the verb <strong>compiere<\/strong> means to turn, to reach a certain age.<\/p>\n<p>Another common way to ask indirectly about someone\u2019s age is the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Di che anno sei?<br \/>\n<em><em><em>In which year were you born?<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sono del settantadue<br \/>\n<em>I was born in 1972<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Italians often joke about the fact that it\u2019s impolite to ask the age, especially to women, who might be reluctant about giving out this information. When asking women \u2013 especially mature women \u2013 it\u2019s better to ask about their birthday date, rather than the year they were born. You should therefore use the first example, instead of the second one. This way, if someone is uncomfortable with telling you their age, they can simply say the day they were born, without the year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quando \u00e8 il tuo compleanno?<br \/>\n<em><em><em>When is your birthday?<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il 15 settembre<br \/>\n<em>It\u2019s on September 15<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When replying to someone who is asking you about your birthday date you simply put the day first and then the month. Since telling one\u2019s age can be a sensitive topic, Italian people like to be polite by using this reply when they discover how old someone is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ho 45 anni<br \/>\n<em><em><em>I\u2019m 45 years old<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/li>\n<li>Complimenti, non li dimostra!<br \/>\n<em>Congratulations, you don\u2019t show them!<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This reply can be a bit odd for English speakers. You basically want to tell someone that they look younger than their age: <strong>complimenti<\/strong> means congratulations, while the verb <strong>dimostrare<\/strong> means \u201cto show\u201d, \u201cto display\u201d. You can also say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Complimenti, li porta bene!<br \/>\n<em>Congratulations, you carry them well!<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Which is another way to politely say that someone looks younger.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to ask your friend whose birthday is coming up soon what present they would like to receive, you can say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Che regalo vuoi?<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">What present do you want?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Or even:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cosa vuoi per il tuo compleanno?<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">What do you want for your birthday?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Italian birthday traditions and useful vocabulary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Italians keep all the traditional major ways to celebrate a birthday (cake, candles, gifts), but there are some differences from other cultures such as the US. Usually when Italians celebrate their own birthday, they invite friends and family out and pay the dinner, or drinks, for everyone. Here you can find some useful vocabulary related to birthdays:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Torta \u2013 <em>cake<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Candeline \u2013 <em>candles<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Regalo \u2013 <em>gift<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even if sometimes the price of the dinner is shared, with everyone paying their own food \u2013 especially for young generations \u2013 it is still a common tradition to pay for one\u2019s own birthday dinner, so be prepared to come with a gift when your friend invites you out. The wrapping of the gift is also important. Wrap your present beautifully and choose a colorful ribbon.<\/p>\n<p>Note that wishing happy birthday to a friend one or few days in advance is considered rude by Italian people. There is no actual reason for this, it is simply considered something that brings bad luck, so be sure to know the exact date of your Italian friends\u2019 birthdays! If you forgot your friend\u2019s birthday and want to wish them a belated happy birthday in Italian, you can say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tanti auguri in ritardo<br \/>\n<em>Happy belated birthday<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is also common to accompany your gift and wishes with a birthday card, where you need to write down a few words to the birthday boy or girl. Another Italian tradition is to open all the presents in front of everyone at the party, so you may want to buy something not too personal or that your friend won\u2019t be ashamed to show in public.<\/p>\n<p>The birthday boy\/girl is also expected to buy the cake, or bake it. It is a common practice to sing the Italian version of Happy Birthday while the \u201c<strong>festeggiato<\/strong>\u201d is blowing out the candles on his\/her birthday cake. He or she need to blow the candles and make a wish, just like in many other countries. It is believed that you cannot tell your wish to anyone, or it won\u2019t come true!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Esprimi un desiderio<br \/>\n<em style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Make a wish<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, Italian people love to celebrate not only their birthdays, but even their \u201c<strong>onomastico<\/strong>\u201d, which is their Saint\u2019s day, as the majority of people have a Christian name. Especially in South Italy, this day is regarded as a big event, as important as a birthday, and during the occasion people also express their wishes with \u201c<strong>tanti auguri<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Birthdays include celebrations, food, friends and fun;\u00a0now that you know all the essential vocabulary for this social occasion you\u2019re ready to have an awesome birthday party! <strong>Tanti auguri!<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h2>Learn Italian in context with Clozemaster<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Clozemaster\u00a0<\/strong>has been designed to help you learn the language in context by filling in the gaps in authentic sentences.
