leeyah Posted July 31, 2009 at 02:20 PM Report Posted July 31, 2009 at 02:20 PM I've never heard of 'friendship day' but in Chinese it should be: 祝你友谊日快乐! (for one person) zhù nǐ yǒu yì rì kuài lè or 祝你们友谊日快乐! (more than one person) zhù nǐmen yǒu yì rì kuài lè Quote
Lu Posted July 31, 2009 at 05:58 PM Report Posted July 31, 2009 at 05:58 PM I'd translate Friendship Day as 友谊节, assuming it's a holiday of sorts, like 情人节. Quote
BrandeX Posted August 1, 2009 at 10:12 AM Report Posted August 1, 2009 at 10:12 AM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_Day Wikipedia claims it to be a popular American holiday, which must be a little bit of BS. Even though made a "holiday" by Congress in 1935, I don't recall ever hearing about it in my life, nor can I recall ever seeing such a day printed on a calendar. Anyways if it's true, as a US citizen.... um happy Friendship Day everyone. Quote
gato Posted August 1, 2009 at 10:20 AM Report Posted August 1, 2009 at 10:20 AM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_DayIn 1935 American Govt had killed a person on 1st Saturday of Aug. The next day his friend committed suicide in his memory. Since then American Govt declared 1st Sunday of Aug as friendship day. Gradually the festival gained popularity and today Friendship Day is celebrated in large number of countries. Hmm. Quote
adrianlondon Posted August 1, 2009 at 12:40 PM Report Posted August 1, 2009 at 12:40 PM Seems to be an Indian holiday, although they oddly blame congress for it. Quote
