Day 33: Further discussion of Chinese New Year
Track 33: Happy Birthday
Lesson 33 teaches about the Chinese tradition for birthday and teaches the happy birthday song.
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, and today we have two guests which are here to celebrate the Chinese New Year with us. Also tomorrow is one of the classmate’s birthday. So we learned how to say happy birthday in Chinese: 祝你生日快乐:祝 (zhù) means wish 你means you 生日(shēnrì) means birthday 快乐 (kuàilè) means happy. The day before the actually birthday in the Chinese tradition, you should eat dumplings, and on the day of the actually birthday, you should eat noodles. The birthday noodle is very long.
Chinese: 祝你生日快乐 (Wish you happy birthday!)
COE: Wish you birth day fast happy
Pinyin: Zhù nǐ shēn rì kuàilè!
