A very happy unbirthday to you!Originally Posted by BienvenuJDC
I think Johnny Depp was the only awesome part of the new movie...
The girl who played Alice wasn't too bad either, only I wouldn't have a clue who she is.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?Eliot
A very very unbirthday to you! to me!

Assuming Google Translate is correct. But what I really need to say is happy un-birthday.
Lol! Just hoping everyone is well in whatever language.

How would you say "happy un-birthday" in Portuguese, Danik? I get this from Google Translate: "Feliz aniversário" But I think that means "happy birthday".
Yes, it does!
"Feliz desaniversário" I would say!
But I wouldn´t wish that to anyone. Once one is hear ,one does good to make the best of the job, bad or not!
What languages were those you were writing in?
One of them seemed to be Hebrew, but I´m not sure.
The first one is probably Chinese. I don´t know Chinese, but it is one of the diagram languages.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that meaning of "un-birthday". I don't know if it is in Alice in Wonderland or just the old Disney movie, but in one of those, or both, there is the idea that one has a birthday only once a year, but an "un-birthday" on every other day of the year.
I didn´t know that other meaning Yes/No. For me "un-birth" carries a negative meaning in the sense of annulating the birth.

The first was simplified Chinese. The second was Hindi. The third was Arabic. I put "happy birthday" into Google Translate and selected the target language from a drop down list. Then I realized I needed "happy un-birthday", but I didn't get anything different. That made it even more interesting.
I think "un-birthday" was invented by some one. I invented "desaniversário" but following the trend of a Brazilian poet who liked to invent words, Manoel de Barros. He invented "despalavra" the "un-word".
Here is the original song posted by the OP:
Happy unbirthday everyone and here is a copy of the entire song!

That is why we're gathered here to cheer.

A very merry unbirthday to you,
It's great to drink to someone and I guess that you will do.
A very merry unbirthday to you
