描述
Birthdays, a new job, a good exam result: Kerala families celebrate with sweets, cake and lots of noise. English speakers want to translate "Happy birthday" word by word, building something like "santhoshamulla janmadinam", which no one says. The natural wish is പിറന്നാൾ ആശംസകൾ (pirannaal aashamsakal) = happy birthday, literally "birthday wishes", or simply the English "Happy birthday".
