Of course, in spoken language the word is very often omitted and thus only "Motedadät läbliká" is used as a with for one's birthday. If a full wish wants to be said, it is important to remember, which person(s) receive the wish. The literal translation ''motedadéel'' refers only to the day of birth, so the day when a baby is born. After that a human being (or pet) can only have "motedadȁät". | |||
