How to Say “Happy Anniversary” in Tamil

திருமண நாள் வாழ்த்துகள்
Happy anniversary in Tamil is திருமண நாள் வாழ்த்துகள்.
திருமண நாள் வாழ்த்துகள் is the standard way to say 'happy wedding anniversary'. Note that this specific phrase is used for wedding anniversaries rather than general anniversaries of other events.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of திருமண (wedding), நாள் (day) and வாழ்த்துகள் (wishes).

Did you know?

  • The word வாழ்த்துகள் (wishes) is derived from the root வாழ் (vāl), which means 'to live' or 'to prosper'. Effectively, the phrase wishes for the couple to live long and well.
  • In Tamil culture, instead of just saying the phrase, people often add இனிய (sweet) before the words to say 'sweet wedding day wishes'.
  • Tamil is one of the few languages in the world that maintains a continuous literary tradition for thousands of years, meaning the roots of words like நாள் have remained remarkably stable.

Examples in context

  • அவர்களுக்கு இனிய திருமண நாள் வாழ்த்துகள்.
    avarkalukku iniya thirumana naal vaazhthugal.
    Happy anniversary to them.
  • உங்கள் இருவருக்கும் திருமண நாள் வாழ்த்துகள்.
    ungal iruvarukkum thirumana naal vaazhthugal.
    Happy anniversary to both of you.
