I love this website very much, it is my first time to learn different language online. I am from Toronto, Canada, but now living in Hong Kong.

I have a Japanese friend whose birthday is in December, so I would like to know how to say happy birthday in Japanese, and how to write it in Kanji or Romanization.

Thanks. !!

Hello rogerkan6962, and welcome to the site!

"Happy birthday" would be お誕生日おめでとう (o-tanjōbi omedetō)

Thanks very much, Jessie San. Hajimemashite!
we pronounce it as o-tan-jor-bi??
(o-tanjōbi omedetō)

Thanks again!

You're welcome!
It would be pronounced "o-tan-joh-bi" (the "jo" is held a bit longer). Hope this helps
