How do you say Happy Thanksgiving in Spanish and other languages?

[True2marie]

My native language is English.  In it, I say, "Happy Thanksgiving".

 

My second language is Spanish. In it, I say, "Gracias Feliz". Another possibility to say happy thanksgiving in Spanish is this here:

 

What about you?

In Spanish it's said "Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias"

At least in Mexico City it's said this way, and Thanksgiving day is celebrated not just by the large community of American expats, but also in many restaurants because of the large number of American tourists visiting this city by this day.

To simply put in the English language, it would be "Happy Thanksgiving"

Not sure how the other languages express it but i'm sure it's the same way across all regions.

To say Happy Thanksgiving in Jamaican creole is quite simple :grin:  . For the most part alot of the English words just have one or few letters added or taken off to create the language.Therefore, we would just say appy  tanksgivin.If you weren't familiar with the language, then I hope youv'e learnt something new .

English is actually my second language. I live in Latin America and we say "Feliz día de Acción de gracias".

[Dieselfit]

Interesting question. My 2nd language is also English but oddly enough, it's my most knowledgeable language currently. My first language is Arabic and I have yet to hear how to say it in our language. I know we would probably just say happy holidays as with most of our occasions.

Here in Germany we do not celebrate thanksvgiving, however some families celebrate a holiday quite similar to thanksgiving which is called erntedankfest. So you could roughly translate happy thanksgiving to "fröhliches erntedankfest". Since my second language is in fact English the answer should be obvious. :-)

I'm from the Philippines, and since we don't celebrate Thanksgiving over here, I would have to say that the phrase "Happy Thanksgiving" doesn't have a literal local translation. I now noticed that as a rule, if a holiday isn't celebrated in one's country or if it did not originate in that country, then there is no local translation for it, like Thanksgiving or Ramadan.

[Czarownica]

Well, we don't really say that, since we don't celebrate Thanksgiving (well, why should we) but since

Thanksgiving is translated to Polish as "Święto Dziękczynienia", I suppose that the proper phrase for "Happy Thanksgiving" is "Szczęśliwego Święta Dziękczynienia!" or "Wesołego Święta Dziękczynienia!".

[Thrix]

In Croatian (also Bosnian and Serbian) it would be "Sretan Dan Državnosti!".

Sretan would stand for 'happy', while 'Dan Državnosti' would mean 'the day of the country', which is the closes to Thanksgiving we have here.

I'm Romanian and we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, it's called Ziua Recunostintei in my native language and we would say 'O zi a recunostintei fericita'! This a very interesting topic and I think we should extend it to other terms too

[mareebaybay]

Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias which is how you would say Happy Thanksgiving in Spanish.

Jamaican Creole is a language made up of other languages, such as Spanish, French and mostly English. To say happy thanksgiving in Jamaican Creole it would be, appy tanksgivin, not much different from saying it in English.

[CeliVega]

In Chinese :感恩节快乐

In Malay : Selamat Hari Kesyukuran

[fredkawig]

We don't celebrate thanksgiving in the Philippines. My instructor is against thanksgiving primarily because of the historical basis according to her wherein people were killed and enslaved in the olden times and so on and so forth. We celebrate Christmas though but only to thank God for the blessings and for Jesus saving us from death.

[Bonyi]

In my native language happy thanksgiving is interpreted ''gradoliga magodis''.

My second language is English and it is happy thanksgiving.

[linguaholic]

In Chinese: 情人节快乐 (qíngrén jié kuài lè)

In French: "Joyeuse Saint-Valentin"

[linguaholic]

In Chinese :感恩节快乐

In Malay : Selamat Hari Kesyukuran

As Celivega pointed out, in Chinese you can also say: 感恩节快乐

Sidney's right. There is no actual translation of Thanksgiving in Filipino. However, if one were to take the word thanksgiving as giving of thanks then I guess you could make a literal translation. So, a literal translation of happy thanksgiving in Filipino would have to be "Maligayang Pagpapasalamat".

[Timeisrelative]

Well actually English is my second language. So for me it would be happy thanksgiving. Oh well I guess that was not so interesting haha. But English was my first language I learned and I like a lot.

[calvindwt]

In my native tongue (Dutch) it is : Fijne Thanksgiving.

My second language is English, so yeah...
