In this video, I'm going to talk about 10 creative ways you can wish someone a happy birthday.
Of course, we know how to say happy birthday to express this idea to someone else.
But how can you make this message a little more personal? Let's look at 10 ideas. Let's start over here.
First is this expression: I hope it's the start of a great year for you. I hope it's the start of a great year for you. So typically we say something like this after we say happy birthday.
So at native speed this would sound like happy birthday, I hope it's the start of a great year for you. This "it's" refers to your birthday.
I hope it is, so I hope your birthday this year is the start of a great year for you.
Okay, the next expression is "Congratulations on another trip around the sun", congratulations on another trip around the the sun.
So "this trip around the sun" refers to the Earth moving around the Sun one time, so one year on Earth.
So this is kind of a funny way to say you went around the earth or rather you went around the Sun one time. Great job, congratulations.
