Finally, it’s that time of the year when work takes a backseat and you are all set to unwind and merry around like a free bird. New Year brings a sense of unity as the whole world is unwinding itself and gushing into ecstasy. The weather is perfect, and there are love and celebrations all around. The world is filled with euphoria. Surely, New Year is a blissful occasion; it connects us with a sense of contentment, and yet makes us distinct since it means different things to different people. For some of us, New Year is about snuggling with our cats and cozying up in a warm blanket and being lost in a good book. For some, it’s being alone with their sweethearts and sharing that insurmountable moment with a dance in the dim lights and welcoming New Year with nothing but love, and then there are others who’d like to get their heart thumping and party till the new sun shines.
The world is diverse and so are the modes of celebration; one of the many things that connect us is sharing. We share love, we share gratitude and we share celebrations. This New Year shares your wishes in the languages that connect us and let it be about diversity. This New Year, wish your friends and colleagues in different languages and give them another reason to smile. Here are 30 languages of the world to say ‘Happy New Year’ in:
