What is 'Buon Capodanno' when translated from Italian to English?

Answer 1

"Happy New Year!" is an English equivalent of the Italian phrase Buon Capodanno!

Specifically, the masculine adjective buono* literally means "good" and loosely "happy" in this context. The masculine noun capodanno translates literally as "head of the year [capo di anno]") and loosely as "New Year's Day." The pronunciation will be "KA-po DAN-no" in Italian.

*The final vowel drops -- and is replaced by an apostrophe -- before a noun whose spelling begins with a consonant.
