True2marie Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 In Spanish, Merry Christmas is ¡Feliz Navidad. How do you say these words in your second language? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humbleman Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 In my second language? Merry Christmas because my second language is English.Feliz Natal! That's how you say it in Portuguese :grin:Well, I have learnt something today...thanks to you. I realize that Portuguese and Spanish are different in some ways. I always thought they were almost identical. The "Feliz" in Merry Christmas seems to be the same for both languages. However, the "Christmas" is different for both. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trellum Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 My second language is English, so I guess the right answer is ''Merry Christmas''. My third language might be Dutch,but I have no idea how to say merry christmas in Dutch yet I should have asked my boyfriend today, lol. I just googled the answer tho, but I came across a lot potential answers, not sure which one is the right one. But I do know how to say merry christmas in Norwegian: God Jul!

Daimashin Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 My second language is Mandarin so it's "聖誕節快樂!" In Pinyin it's "Shèngdàn jié kuàilè." But mostly people in my country will just say "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksThey have many differences, some people think that it is like UK English and American English but that's not the case, both languages are unique. We can understand each other though so there are some similarities. :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eppie Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 In Filipino (or Tagalog) we say it as "Maligayang Pasko". "Maligaya" meaning Merry and "Pasko" meaning Christmas. But just like Daimashin, people in my country just greet each other Merry Christmas, we rarely say Maligayang Pasko nowadays (even our grandparents). :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna3101 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 In Polish there are several ways to say it but the one I hear and see most often is "Wesołych Świąt!"In Russian I would say "С Рождеством" or "Счастливого Рождества!".In French it's "Joyeux Noël".For Dutch I'd go with "Vrolijke kerstdagen" or "Prettige kerstdagen"And "Buon Natale" in Italian.

kurdapia Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I do not know how to say Merry Christmas in my second language of choice but let me just say it in my native language Filipino " Maligayang Pasko" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrell Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 My second language is English, so.. Merry Christmas. Well, that was kind lame so I'll give you the translation for 'Merry Christmas' in my first/native language instead, which is Indonesian: 'Selamat natal'. Don't try to break it down though, because it gets a bit weird when you do that. The word 'Selamat' means 'congratulations' or 'happy' (as in 'Happy birthday!') and 'natal' means 'Christmas' in English. So it's like 'Happy Christmas', which is really weird.
