Toasting To Mom In Multiple Languages



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.

What do you have planned for Mother’s Day?
