Születésnapodra

Születésnapodra is a Hungarian phrase that directly translates to "for your birthday" or "on your birthday." It is a common and polite way to express good wishes or to indicate that a gift, card, or celebration is intended for someone's birthday.

The phrase is composed of two parts: "születésnap" which means "birthday," and the suffix "-odra," which is a possessive and dative case ending. The possessive "-od" signifies "your" (singular, informal), and the "-ra" suffix indicates "on" or "for," functioning here to denote the occasion. Therefore, "születésnapodra" literally means "for your birthday."

This expression is frequently used in various contexts. For example, when giving a present, one might say "Ez itt születésnapodra" ("This is for your birthday"). It can also be used in written messages, such as on birthday cards, or in spoken conversations when acknowledging or referring to someone's upcoming or current birthday celebration. The formality of the phrase can be adjusted by changing the possessive suffix. For instance, "születésnapjára" would mean "for his/her/their birthday" (formal singular or plural).
