Nov 21, 2006 · Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'expliquer pourquoi on met : a happy new year et non pas an happy new year. Merci de votre aide. NANOU

Jan 8, 2014 · The topic is sending wishes to people on the occasion of the beginning of a new year, the coming year, the 'New Year'. I do use capitals in this context. It is 'next year', but it's unusual to hear best wishes for 'next year'. (I agree about 'the next year' being wrong in BrE) 'All the best' is a formula and is short for 'all the best (to you ...

What you probably want is (the) New Year, referring to New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and possibly a day or two either side.

Dec 30, 2016 · They are for the New Year to be a good and happy one. "Best wishes" is a set phrase which means something along the lines of "I wish everything will be the best for you". If we are linking the wishes to an event, then "on" is normal.

Dec 13, 2019 · Happy Christmas on the other hand doesn't sound too bad. Now if we think of Happy New Year as a short state of mind during the New Year celebration and not throughout the whole year then we could say merry, joyful, jubilant New Year, it's not completely wrong.

Jan 20, 2012 · Ciao a tutti, sto scrivendo una mail semi-formale, vorrei essere gentile e cominciare dicendo: Buongiorno, "spero che l'anno sia cominciato bene!" Potrebbe andare una traduzione come questa: "I hope the new year had a good start for you" ? Grazie mille!
