新年好! Happy New Year!
Skewbrow:
Hyvää (kiinalaista) uutta vuotta! Were the ladies required to wear a qipao to the New Year party?
celticgeek:
There are always several New Years in a year. I used to wish my supervisor "Happy New Year" for most of them, including Regular New Year, Chinese New Year, Wicca New Year, Jewish New Year, and Celtic New Year. She finally got used to it.
Papersatan:
(not sure "regular" is the best word there)
One of the girls in my group this year is from China and in our group meeting on Friday she told us this was the first Spring Festival where she would not be with her family. She looked like she wanted to cry. :( I wanted to hug her, but we don't know each other that well yet.
celticgeek:
I'm pretty sure "Regular" is not the best word. "Gregorian", perhaps?
Welu:
Happy New Year!
In annoying related business, there's this ad that comes on during work (the shop has its own radio channel thing) saying stuff like, "Celebrate Chinese New Year with noodles, [type of] sauce and [other products]." I feel uncomfortable every time it comes on because I think the person is doing a slight accent but it's also very clear English? I guess holidays are always used to get people to buy things but it still seems off to me.
