Living in German-speaking countries or constantly dealing with people who speak this language, one cannot ignore such a topic as holidays, namely, the competent wording of congratulations in German. And if writing long and flowery stories and notes is hardly accessible to a beginner - after all, congratulations consist not only of words, but also of emotions, the expression of which requires experience and skillful handling of foreign words - then any person who has mastered the basics can cope with compiling several sentences. language.

It should be noted that in congratulations, the appeal to a person in the second person and singular is usually written with a capital letter. And wishes like “good night!” and "happy journey!" - make impersonal.

So, common short wishes and congratulations in German sound like this with a translation into Russian:

  • Schönen Tag! - Have a good day!
  • Viel Erfolg und Viel Gluck! - Success and good luck!
  • Gute Nacht! - Good night!
  • Gute Besserung! - Get better!
  • Ich gratulière! - I congratulate!
  • Frohe Feiertage! - I wish (you) a good holiday!
  • Frohe Ostern/Weihnachten! – Happy Easter/Christmas!
  • Frohes neues Jahr! - Happy New Year!
  • Gute Reise! - Happy (you) journey!
  • Guten Appetite! - Have a good (you) appetite!
  • Ich gratuliere Ihnen herzlich! - I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart!
  • Viel Spas! - Have a good time!

To formulate wishes, use the construction Ich wünsche ... (I wish):

  • alles Gute / das Beste - all the best / the best
  • großen Erfolg - great success
  • Gesundheit - health
  • ein langes Leben - longevity
  • viel Gluck - happiness.

In everyday life, you may need a comic wish like “no fluff to you, no feather!”. The translation of this congratulation into German sounds like Hals- und Beinbruch!

Holiday Wishes in German

Common holiday phrases in Germany include:

  • Geburtstag - Birthday
  • Hochzeitstag - wedding day
  • Schulabschluss - high school graduation day
  • Jahrestag - anniversary (on standard greeting cards you can find the design Alles Gute zum Jahrestag!)

If you want to congratulate someone you know well informally, use the abbreviated form Gratuliere, translated into Russian as "my congratulations."

For those who are going not so much to congratulate a person as to express gratitude to him for something, there is a typical turnover in German Vielen Dank fur... (Many thanks for…). His more emotional version - Ich weiß wirklich nicht, wie ich Dir für … danken soll.(I don’t even know how to thank you for what you did for me…).

The birth of a child is not only one of the happiest events in people's lives, but also an occasion to practice greetings in German associated with this holiday: Wir haben uns sehr über die Geburt Eures kleinen Jungen/Mädchens gefreut. Wir gratulieren! In Russian, this sounds something like “We congratulate you on the happy birthday of your son / daughter!”. For brevity, it is permissible to use the turnover “With replenishment of you!”: Wir gratulieren zu Eurem Neuankömmling!


Today we will share with you phrases and expressions for congratulations on your birthday in German! It is very useful to know them both for those who live in Germany and for those who have German friends or relatives. Watch the video and read the article below!

Congratulating our loved ones, friends, relatives and colleagues, we bring a piece of joy into their lives. But congratulating foreigners is not as easy as it seems ... Undoubtedly, you already know a lot of polite and beautiful German words, but which ones are suitable for such a holiday?

The most frequently heard phrase is Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! Literal translation - All the best (or all the best) for your birthday! Or a simple phrase: Ich gratuliere dir zum Geburtstag!- I congratulate you on your birthday.

✏ Please note that the personal pronoun after the verb “congratulate someone” in German, unlike Russian, will only be used in the dative case, that is dir/ Ihnen ! This rule must be remembered.

For convenience, we have compiled a whole list of useful phrases:

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!- All the best for your birthday!

Herzlichen Gluckwunsch zum Geburtstag!- I sincerely congratulate you on your birthday!

Ich wünsche dir alles Beste zum Geburtstag!- I wish you all the best for your birthday!

Viel Gesundheit und viel Glück zum Geburtstag!- Lots of health and good luck for your birthday!

Viel Gluck und Freude zu neuem Lebensjahr!- Good luck and joy in the new year of life!

Den besten Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!- Best wishes for your birthday!

Ich wünsche Dir nur das Beste und einen schönen Geburtstag!- I wish you only the best and have a wonderful birthday!

All of the above, in fact, is both a congratulation and a wish at the same time - write it down in your dictionary, and they will definitely come in handy!
It is worth noting that these are universal phrases, but it’s still up to you to decide which of them will suit a close friend and which work colleague, because you can be in a fairly warm relationship with a colleague, but don’t go too far and remember the peculiarities of mentalities! By the way, in Germany there are no special differences in congratulations for men and women, the main rule is to be sincere and speak from the bottom of your heart!

If you are laconic or generally shy, avoid long ornate phrases - you can take note of such a concise version of congratulations - Viele liebe Gruße! (Best wishes!).

It is important to note that a literal translation of congratulations and wishes is not always appropriate, therefore, dictionaries often provide a semantic translation that is most suitable for the Russian expression. And with a literal translation, the phrase may look a little clumsy and unusual, so it's better to avoid such moments!

If you were invited, and you understand that you will not be able to join the celebration, tell the birthday person: Schade, dass ich nicht mitfeiern kann. This phrase sounds like this: "It's a pity that I can't celebrate with you together." By the way, if it’s impossible to congratulate a person personally, but you really want to express your attention to him, you can send him a birthday card. In German it is die Grußkarte(or: die Gluckwunschkarte). Just write down some of the nice phrases you learned today and send it in the mail.

It may also happen that the birthday has already passed, and did not have time to congratulate the person. It doesn't matter, there is an expression for such a case, because it's better late than never. Tell: " Nachtraglich alles Gute zum Geburtstag". Literally translated as -" My belated heartfelt congratulations on your birthday.

What else can you wish for?

In addition to the standard "health" and "happiness":

spannende Erlebnisse- exciting events
unvergessliche Abenteuer- an unforgettable adventure
eine tolle Geburtstagsparty- have fun celebrating
Erfolg im Beruf / in der Schule- success at work/school
Viel Geld- much money

And as Theodor Fontane said: “Man wird nicht älter sondern besser!”
