How do you write Merry Christmas in Hebrew?
In: _English to Hebrew_ (http://www.answers.com/T/English_to_Hebrew) , _Hebrew to English_ (http://www.answers.com/T/Hebrew_to_English) Answer: (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_write_Merry_Christmas_in_Hebrew&action=edit) write: חג מולד שמח Chag Molad Sameach Chag basically means holiday or "festival." Molad generally means "birth." And Sameach basically means "happy." Thus the literal translation is "happy birth festival" (celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ). But it is not a Jewish holiday so it is likely that if you try to wish someone who primarily speaks Hebrew a Merry Christmas by saying "Chag Molad Sameach" they might not know what you're talking about. It might be better to simply say "Christmas Sameach." Answer: Actually... Hebrew speaking Christians would just say Khag Same'ach (חג שמח) which means "happy holiday". It is not normal to include the name of the holiday in a holiday greeting in Hebrew. -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
