bonnes révisions
The English phrase "happy studying" can be translated into French as bonnes révisions.

The phrase literally translates to "good reviews", where révisions refers to the act of reviewing or studying material.
How does it change in a sentence?
The phrase is typically used in the plural form bonnes révisions to refer to a study period, but the singular bonne révision can be used if referring to a single specific review session.
