Thank you! Isn't Spanish "Feliz Navidad"?

My favorite is the French expression, Joyeux Noel, sounds so Christmassy....

A quick correction, it's God Jul in Swedish not Glad Jul.

Thanks for the list!

What's the difference between the two? One looks masculine and one feminine.

Dutch - Vrolijke Kerstmis


This one is gramatically okay, but in general people don't use it like this. They are more likely to say Vrolijk Kerstfeest.

It's fun reading up on all the ways to say merry Christmas b.t.w., so cool tread!

[Falksonchristmas]

Great list thank you!

I love learning how to say "Merry Christmas" in other languages. Would it be possible for you to maybe type it out, phonetically, so we could know how to pronounce it correctly, in English? That would be great. Thanks for posting.

[Fezziwig]

For those who were curious about Alegre and Felize navidad. According to my Girlfriend who is native Spanish speaking, Alegre means merry or cheer while Felize is Happy .. so .. in a nod to our UK friends, Felize Navidad isn't Merry Christmas but HAPPY Christmas (though it's all the same)

[aLEKSA.]

Veselogo rozdevsta, but i dont know how to read :D

Hi...

Merry Christmas in English Merry Christmas.

In Bulgarian it's "Весела Коледа" in cyrillic letters and "Vesela Koleda" in latin letters. It's pronounced exactly as it's typed. :santa:

[Merry Christmas Darling]

Thank you! :santa1:

Well, I sure hope you come back. I knew a woman from Serbia who baked delicious Kifli, my favorite Christmas cookie!

[Merry Christmas Darling]

merry christmas in spanish is feliz navidad, lol.

I think it can also be said Navidad Alegre which means Cheerful Christmas.

[serene]

Very informative list! Christmas greetings can be said in different languages but the real meaning is the same. Christmas seasons simply convey giving and love and should remind us always with its true meaning.

[Bishop1954]

Well, even though it probably would not be considered a "foreign language" how about that very cool verse from our 50th state...
Mele Kalikimaka... :merrychristmas:

[nhutcuong96]

chúc mừng giáng sinh

[Bishop1954]

Nollaig Chridheil (in Scotland - Hearty Christmas)... Merry Christmas!! :merrychristmas:

[christdude]

we say " メリークリスマス " in Nagasaki.

[Symone]

Hi in 2020!
In Malaysia, it's "Selamat Hari Natal" :tree1:
But we use English anyway, because mostly only English-speaking Malaysians celebrate Christmas.. It doesn't snow, it's just sunny/rainy all year round.
So it's nothing about snowman or fireplace, more of family get-together, gifts, turkey and cookies! :presents3:

[Symone]

Oh, the pronunciation..

Se - la - mat -- Ha - ri -- Na - tal
(ser)(la)(mat)--(ha)(ree)--(na)(tal)

silent the 'r' in (ser), pronounce all 'a' as how you'd sing 'fa-la-la-la-la'

[Mistletoe]

Hi, Symone! :welcome: Glad you've decided to join us!

Thanks for letting us know how Christmas is celebrated out your way- it's always so interesting to hear!

[Symone]

Thank you, glad to be here! I'm mostly looking at how everyone else celebrate Christmas where it snows.. It never happens here!
We'd go to man-made "Snowlands" just to get a feel!

[Bishop1954]

Our 49th state (Alaska) of course is home to the native Eskimo their's (which is also the same for New Years) is... Jutdlime pivdluarit ukiortame pivdluaritlo! :gelf:

I tried to see if I could find how exactly you'd pronounce that, but couldn't. It looks to be a mouthful. :santahat:

I love warm weather, but I am glad that I live in a place that gets some snow. I'm glad that you at least have snowlands!

[Bishop1954]

Come visit the Dakotas sometime... no problem with snow up here!! :dizzy:

Well, so many of the languages have already been covered, it is tough to find something new. Glad you enjoyed it. :snowman:

[NichaUKTHAI]

In Thai language we say: สุขสันต์วันคริสต์มาส! Suksan Wan Christmas!

Otherwise วันคริสต์มาส, is only Christmas Day.

[Bishop1954]

While not a language from our planet (per se) here is one for the Star Trek fans... QISmaS Quch Daghajjaj (Merry Christmas in Klingon)... :kinky elf:
