~ Happy Chinese new year! ~ �������! ~ Sun lean fai lok! ~ xin nian Kuai le! ~
And this is supposed to be Merry Christmas and Happy New Year:
Chinese (Cantonese) �}�Q��ͬ����옷
Chinese (Mandarin) �}�Q��������옷 [ʥ���ں��������]
This Happy New Year:
Chinese (Cantonese) Sun nien fai lok
Chinese (Mandarin) Xin nian yu kuai
Westerners aren't very good at tonal languages, such as Chinese and Vietnamese, so there are many English spellings of these Chinese phrases:
gung hay fat choy!
("Wishing you prosperity!�� in Cantonese)
gong xi fa cai!
("Wishing you prosperity!�� in Mandarin)
xin nein kuai le!
(��Happy New Year!�� in Mandarin)
sun nin fy lok!
(��Happy New Year!�� in Cantonese)
Regards,
