How to say Happy Valentine's day/Happy new year/Happy birthday in Chinese?

The grammar of sending out wishes and greetings in holidays is just this easy in Chinese:

Holiday + kuài lè

qíng rén jié kuài lè(情人节快乐!)=Happy Valentine’s day!

xīn nián kuài lè(新年快乐!)=Happy New Year!

shēng rì kuài lè(生日快乐!)=Happy birthday!


快乐(kuài lè) means happiness.

This year, the Chinese lunar new year just coincides with the (western) valentine's day on Feb 14. And yes, as you may guess, we Chinese do have our own valentine's day, which I wrote about here.
