Happy Birthday in Mandarin

newbiefan

Would anybody who speaks/knows Mandarin romanize the Mandarin for me? I watch them sing it but can never quite fully hear it. Btw, by romanize I mean sound it out in idiot form, I am still not sure how to read Qs, Xs and Zs yet.


Thank you!!!!!

the song is basically this line repeated 4 times: zhù nǐ shēng rì kuài lè (wish you a happy birthday) and shēng rì kuài lè by itself is happy birthday.

now how to read it....theres tones to consider but it goes something like this:

joo knee sheng ri kwai luh

the ri sounds like if you growled the r (you'll feel it kind of deep in your throat, theres a vibration)

better yet, theres youtube videos on pronouncing happy birthday you can check out
