This Sunday, May 13th, we’ll be celebrating Mother’s Day here in the U.S. Since we have our mothers on the brain, we asked our e-tutors how they greet their moms. Perhaps you’ll greet your mother with one of these beautiful sayings on Sunday.
German: Alles Gute zum Mutterta
Translation: Happy Mother’s Day!
French: Bonne fête, maman!
Translation: Happy Mother’s Day!
Spanish: iFeliz día de la madre!
Translation: Happy Mother’s Day!
You can also say: Madre no hay más que una.
Translation: Mom, there is only you.
Japanese: We don’t say “Happy Mother’s Day” in Japanese. Instead, here’s what we say on Mother’s Day: お母さん、いつもありがとう。
Pronounced: Okaasan, itsumo arigatoo.
Translation: Thank you Mother, for always being there.
Arabic: عيد سعيد يا أُمي
Pronounced: Xiid saxiid yaa ‘ummii.
Translation: Wishing you a blissful day, Mom.
