How do you say 'happy birthday' in the Cebuano language?

Answer 1

There are a couple different ways to say Happy Birthday in Cebuano that I've found, but here are the most common ways:

• "Malipayon Adlawan" (The words "happy" and "birthday" translated separately
• "Malipayong Adlaw'nga natawhan" (Sometimes without the "g" in "malipayong")
• "Maayong pagsaulog sa adlaw nga natawhan" (The site where I found this also had an audio clip)

Not being a native speaker, it's hard for me to pin point the exact correct translation, but all of them seem to have similarities. For example, "malipayon" or its near variations seem to mean "happy", while "adlawa'nga natawhan"or its near variations mean "birthday."

Answer 2

You say 'happy birthday' in Cebuano as "maayong adlaw sa inyong tanan."
