In Hokkien: Keong hee huat chye!
In Cantonese: Kung Hei Fat Choi!
In English: Congratulations and be prosperous!
Advance greetings of prosperity from toingks.com as we, together with our Chinese friends celebrate the Chinese New Year which we all know is the Year of the Rat.
This festival is being celebrated which traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month. According to Wikipedia, this festival is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had a strong influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction.
Tomorrow, February 7, is the celebration of the Chinese New Year. So once again, Kung Hei Fat Choi!
* Ilabas na ang mga tikoy at ampao (Chinese red envelope) and celebrate!*
Yo!
Happy Chinese New Year!
Are a fellow Chinese?
Cheers!
