Születésnap

Születésnap is the Hungarian word for birthday. It refers to the anniversary of the day on which a person was born. This occasion is widely celebrated in Hungary, as it is in many other cultures around the world.

Celebrations typically involve gathering with family and friends, exchanging gifts, and sharing a cake, often adorned with candles representing the age of the person celebrating. Singing a traditional birthday song is also a common practice. Special wishes are made, and it's a time for reflection on the past year and anticipation for the year ahead.

The concept of celebrating birthdays has a long history, with roots in ancient traditions. In Hungary, as in many European countries, the modern celebration of birthdays has evolved over centuries. It is a personal and often joyous occasion, marking another year of life and the continuation of personal growth and experiences. While the core elements of celebration are similar globally, individual families and communities in Hungary may have their own unique customs and traditions associated with doğumnap.
