イード・ムバラク
The phrase "happy eid" is translated into Japanese as イード・ムバラク.
Did you know?
- Japanese users often add the phrase おめでとう (omedetō), meaning 'congratulations', after イード・ムバラク to make it feel more natural to a Japanese ear.
- In Japanese, the word for 'holiday' is 休日 (kyūjitsu), but for the religious significance of Eid, the transliterated Arabic イード is preferred to avoid confusion with a standard day off.
- The phrase イード・ムバラク is a direct phonetic transcription of the Arabic 'Eid Mubarak' using the Japanese script. Unlike most greetings, it does not use a Japanese translation of 'happy' or 'celebration'.
Examples in context
- イード・ムバラク！Īdo Mubaraku!Happy Eid!
- 皆さん、イード・ムバラク！Minasan, Īdo Mubaraku!Happy Eid, everyone!
