Wishing Someone a Happy Birthday

English Language & Usage Asked by grammerguy on January 28, 2021

Is it correct to say "Please wish John a very happy birthday from me"? Or should it be "Please wish John a very happy birthday for me"?

One Answer

Could you wish John a happy birthday for me please?(no "very") Thank you so very much. (There's you'r "very") To wish for another to receive a "very happy birthday" is to imply that the hope of a happy birthday is not to realistic in probability, so you emphasize your birthday wish with the addition of "very" as to show extra above others in wishes for John.So in turn if John does not have a happy birthday....you will be with out blame.Life is more than who you are! If you don't agree with what i say about your "very" in a birthday wish, and it most certainly means you care for his happiness in your wishes....I say to you ...If you really cared as much as it sounds like you do in your wishes to John....Why did you send your wishes by another person to John.Is he going to be "Very happy now hearing from another that you sent this wish with the first person you saw that was going to party.Not taking a min of your time to say in person,didn't spare 1 min of time to even use your cell to call him and tell him yourself. As you can see it doesn't matter about proper order of speech when you're showing affection while bonding with a friend on his birthday. And guess what else....you can wish John a very happy birthday if you wish to...because you have to be putting in the effort of attendance for it to mean everything to John as he takes in your words as a emotional truth. Yea, kinda sounds fake and selfish if done any other way. Well to make a long story short (to late for that ,huh) What else kind of answer would you give to such a question.
