Congratulations! Happy birthday! 🎂🎉
Stress 'AU-gu-ri'. 'Compleanno' = com-ple-AN-no.
Send this as a birthday greeting via WhatsApp. Italian birthdays generate an outpouring of messages — from friends, family, acquaintances, and colleagues.
'Auguri' = congratulations/best wishes (used for all celebrations — birthdays, anniversaries, new year, Easter, Christmas). 'Tanti auguri' = many best wishes. 'Buon compleanno' = happy birthday (more specific). Both are correct.
Cento di questi giorni! 🎂
May you have a hundred such days! 🎂
Traditional Italian birthday wish — 'may you live to have 100 birthdays'.
Buon compleanno! Spero tu passi una giornata meravigliosa.
Happy birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day.
Extended, warm wish.
Quanti anni hai compiuto?
How many years have you turned?
Asking someone's new age.
'Cento di questi giorni!' is one of the most distinctively Italian birthday wishes — literally wishing the person 100 more birthdays. It reflects the Italian cultural value of longevity and family celebrations. WhatsApp birthday messages in Italy pour in from midnight of the birthday — receiving 50+ birthday messages is completely normal for a well-connected Italian adult.
