Multilingual Merry Christmas. How many languages can we muster between us?

[MardyBra]

Without resort to Google Translate, of course.

For starters:

Joyeux noël
Feliz Navidad
Buon Natale

[Redtractorwontsleep]

Nadolig Llawen!

[QuickSilverFairy]

Mele Kalikimaka!

[MardyBra]

Oh! Maybe it would help to have the languages in brackets afterwards.

[MardyBra]

I'm guessing Welsh for RedTractor.
Not a clue for Silver. Greek?

[jetSTAR]

Frohe Weihnachten? (Very rusty German?)

[MardyBra]

Or maybe we shouldn't have brackets and have to guess...

[MardyBra]

I didn't post German jet because I'm rusty too. (3 decades+ since my O-Level)

[QuickSilverFairy]

MardyBra, it is Hawaiin. My family spent a lovely Christmas in Hawaii many years ago, we spent loads of time learning to say this phrase!

[MardyBra]

Aloha and Merry Christmas to you too!

[MmeLindor]

Yes, frohe Weihnachten is correct! I can't offer any more than that, since French and italian have been done already.

Prettige Kerstdagen (Dutch)

sradjestvom! (sorry, needs cyrillic script)

salamat hari natal - go on guess

[MardyBra]

Oh Bugger. Now I've got an earworm of José Feliciano singing Feliz Navidad.

Sorry struggling with yours steppe. Presumably something Eastern European for the cyrillic script.

Something middle eastern for the last one?

[steppeupunderthemisletoe]

cyrillic is more obvious than that

not middle eastern

[MardyBra]

Russian?

Really struggling with the other one. Presumably indo-european with natal meaning birth.

This thread is highlighting my knowledge is pretty much limited to a few romance languages and a rusty German O-Level.

[steppeupunderthemisletoe]

yes it is russian.

clues - muslim country (but not an obvious one) hence the salamat.
It is along way away!

[Tanukisan]

????????

[OneOrgasmicBirthPlease]

Weso?ych ?wi?t!

[DramaAlpaca]

Nollaig Shona Duit!

[Lweji]

Feliz Natal (e boas festas)

[steppeupunderthemisletoe]

feliz natal is spanish?

drama is yours a scandinavian language? Possibly Finnish?

Orgasmic - is yours polish?

[MardyBra]

Yikes! Does anyone else want to have a guess. I need to go to sleep.

My guesses are:

Still don't know for steppe.

Japanese for Tanukisan

Czech or Polish for Orgasmic

Gaelic for Alpaca

Portuguese for Lweji.

[EBearhug]

salamat hari natal - go on guess

Malay. And the one I was going to put, so I'm sulking now.


God Jul.

[MultipleMama]

God Jul

Gleoileg jol

Hyvaa Joulua

There's variants of Merry Christmas in Russian and so many Happy New Year" ones! ;

Schastlivogo Rozhdestva - Merry Christmas.
Srozhdyestvom Hristovym - Congratulations on the birth of Christ (my family use this one ).
Sprazdnikom - Which I think means Happy Holidays.

[steppeupunderthemisletoe]

God Jul is swedish

Not Malay!!! It is Indonesian.

(Oh ok, Malay and Indonesian are pretty much the same language)

dd2 collected loads last year for a school project, we only asked people we knew and ended up with about 25 languages! I should route out her poster and find some odd ones.

[MultipleMama]

Drama - Welsh maybe? Although I think that would be a longer word... hmm

EB God Jul is Swedish!!
