Hi Gretchen,

Thanks for posting!

Your are indeed correct to some extent. Coconut oil is more commonly used in South India than in North India. But now the oil is slowly being adopted by North Indians as well in some dishes. But yes, it is still uncommon.

Thanks for sharing!

I think you guys are wrong. Coconut oil is exclusively used in south India. Mostly the state of Kerala. North Indians rarely use coconut oil in cooking.

Hi Sabina, and Anthony,

Thank you Anthony - that's absolutely correct!

Sabina, as Anthony has written, the Hindi of 'Happy Birthday' is:

जनमदिन मुबारक!

Janamdin mubaarak!

Happy birthday!

Cheers,

नमस्ते सबीना,

Namaste Sabina,

Hi Sabina,

जनमदिन मुबारक!

Janamdin mubaarak!

Happy birthday!

आप का जनमदिन कब है?

Aap kaa janamdin kab hai?

When is your birthday?

So can you please tell the answer of your last question, "How do you translate Happy Birthday into Hindi?"? What does "Happy Birthday" mean in Hindi and how is it spelled? Thanks

Hi Anthony,

Don't worry you will get better and perfect with time. Just keep up the motivation and keep practicing like you always do:thumbsup:

जी हाँ, जब मैं हिंदी में बोलता हूँ तो मैं अक्सर अपनी दिमाग में हिंदी के शब्द मिल सकता नहीं।

Yes, when I speak in Hindi, I often can't find/think of the Hindi words in my mind.
