Merry Xmas to all. posted by Dag Maggot at 6:09 AM on December 24, 2005
Fun idea, but I wouldn't put too much trust in the various versions. The Russian is completely screwed up.
Russian: Pozdrevlyayu s prazdnikom Rozhdestva is Novim Godom
What they mean is: Pozdravlyayu s prazdnikom Rozhdestva i s [two words] Novym godom
More importantly, that's not what Russians say. Merry Xmas is С Рождеством Христовым [S Rozhdestvóm Khristóvym], and they don't tend to combine it with Happy New Year (С Новым годом [S nóvym gódom]).
Anyway, happy holidays! posted by languagehat at 6:31 AM on December 24, 2005
That's what Esperanto should be like, to make it easier :) posted by funambulist at 6:47 AM on December 24, 2005
Also a typo in the Dutch: "Zalig Kerstfeast" should be "Zalig Kerstfeest". However, I'd go with "Vrolijk Kerstfeest" or even "Fijne dagen" (lit. 'Happy days' (!)), which is a much more contemporary way of saying it IMO.
How about shèngdànjié (聖誕節). yeah. posted by kcm at 8:38 AM on December 24, 2005

And Russian xmas until next month anyway. posted by TimeFactor at 1:36 PM on December 24, 2005
The Slovene is wrong (should be vesel božič) and so is the Serbian (should be Kristus se rodi -- literally, "Christ was born") Perhaps this was meant as a prank, or just done really sloppily?
Either way, merry christmas to all and to all a good night. posted by Ljubljana at 1:53 PM on December 24, 2005
