You can also say:
- Je vous félicite (or) Félicitations – Congratulations.
- Bonne chance – Good Luck.
- Bon courage – Have courage/Good luck.
- Je vous souhaite – I wish you….
- Je vous souhaite tous mes meilleurs vœux – I wish you all the best.
- Condoléances.
I used Google Translate to clarify this and, I found out that "Bon anniversaire" means "Happy Birthday" and "Joyeux anniversaire" means "Happy Anniversary".
Meilleurs vœux.
Although, “Best” in French translates to “Meilleur”, we add “s” to the word when we write/say “Best Wishes”. “Vœux” is a plural word. The singular word meaning “Wish” will be “Vœu”. The most common word for wish in French is “Souhait”.Whether you want to
wish someone well or apologize for standing on their toes, this
French language lesson is the one for you.

|---|
| Bon anniversaire ! | Happy birthday! |
| Bonne fête ! | Happy birthday! |
| Que tu profites encore de nombreuses années ! | May you enjoy many more years! |
| Que tous tes désirs se réalisent ! | May all your wishes come true! |
Joyeux anniversaire or bon anniversaire are the standard ways to wish someone happy birthday in French. But if you're studying Canadian French (Quebecois) or just want to extend birthday wishes to a French-Canadian friend, you would say Bonne fête– literally, “Good party/celebration”.
The Meaning of Happy Belated Birthday
Greetings can be late, however, so it makes much more sense to say late happy birthday, which is why belated happy birthday is the correct formulation. When you write the greeting correctly, belated modifies the phrase happy birthday.Examples
- “I'm so grateful you came into the world because you make my world better every day.
- “Thanks for you being you and being mine.”
- “It's your day, and I can't wait to celebrate it with you.”
- “I hope your birthday is the happiest.”
- “Happy Birthday, Beautiful.”
- “Wish you were here for me to spoil today.”
