happy birthday
Cake-and-candles phrase
Happy birthday is a greeting or exclamation used to acknowledge someone's birthday, wishing them well on the anniversary of their birth.
The phrase appears in the ubiquitous song sung at birthday celebrations: We all sang happy birthday as she blew out the candles.
It functions as a standalone greeting in cards, texts, and social media posts: Happy birthday! Hope it's a good one.
