Congratulations on a holiday, birthday or some kind of achievement, as well as wishing all the best to a man or woman, is not just a manifestation of interest and care for a person. It is also a way to maintain relationships, make new acquaintances or enter into new business relationships. It has now become the accepted norm to have contacts abroad - both business and personal. Everyday conversations in terms of language and grammar are clearly different from the "congratulatory" language. Therefore, many, when the holidays come or an important event happens, are simply lost - how to issue a congratulation. We decided to give you a few tips so that you can come up with an original congratulation yourself.
Wish...
The phrase "I wish ..." can be started with:
Wishing: Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season!
I wish: I wish you a Happy New Year!
Let...
Specific wishes can start with a verb may or let.
May the warmth and the joy of the Holiday Season be yours today and always.
May the New Year be rich with blessings!
Let all your troubles disappear, and all your friends be always near.
Best wishes...
Best wishes, oddly enough, are translated literally - best wishes (for) or sincere wishes(most sincere wishes).
Best wishes for the holidays and for prosperity throughout the coming year.
Sincerest wishes for hope, happiness and peace during this Holiday Season and throughout the coming year.

When we wish something to a person, we try to convey our positive emotions to him and support him in such a peculiar way. In addition, wishes are one of the options for polite behavior, and by saying them, you, although to a small extent, win the favor of the person to whom they are addressed. Wishes in English, as well as in Russian, are subject to a certain classification. It demonstrates in what situation and when one or another wish should be pronounced. Moreover, wishes in English can be grouped according to the speech they refer to: after all, wishes for a friend (family member) and an unfamiliar person (work colleague) will be completely different. What are the options for wishes in English?
First of all, it is necessary to remember one of the main phrases spoken in this area, namely: I wish (you / you) .... In English it sounds like I wish you…. After this phrase, you can add any words that you would like to say to the interlocutor. For example:
I wish you success, happiness, all the best, good health, love, etc. - I wish you every success, happiness / joy, best of everything, good health, love, etc.
If you want to add to the common phrase I wish with all my heart put at the beginning of the sentence with all my heart.
When someone is about to go somewhere, we usually wish a happy journey ( Have a good trip / journey!). This sentence structure is also suitable for wishes for a happy pastime ( have a good time! enjoy yourself!) and have a good rest ( Have a good rest! have wonderful holidays). If we are about to do some task (for example, take an exam or a project at work) or are possibly in danger, people close to us tell us the following wishes in English:
Good luck! - Good luck! The best luck! Best of luck to you!
Break a leg! - Break a leg!
Win for you! - I hope you win! good luck!
Almost always, wishes in English are used after congratulations on any event or event in a person's life. Everyone knows that happy birthday- this is . If you want to make the phrase common: On my birthday I wish ...., use these expressions: For your birthday I wish you…! My birthday wish for you is…! I wish you on your birthday…!.
The following expressions can be attributed to the wishes in English of a more formal style:
Please accept the very best (warm, cordial, hot, sincere) wishes! - Please, accept my best/warmest/most heartfelt/heartiest/sincerest wishes!
Let me wish you ... - May I wish you (give you my wishes) ...
In addition, the most common wishes in English include wishes for health and good health. For example:
Expressing a wish in English to an interlocutor in a conversation implies his response. Usually people thank for a wish dedicated to them ( thank you. thanks). If we want to express hope about the implementation of a particular wish, we turn to the following expressions:
Hope so. I hope that it will be so (it will come true). - I hope so. Let's hope for the best. Let's hope your wishes come true!
- It would be fine...Would not be a bad idea!
God bless! - Please God! So help me God!
And if you try, then some wishes in English can be turned into toasts. Thus, you can always maintain the necessary conversation and show that you are a person who cares about the people around him.

Someone needs only 10 minutes to sign a dozen postcards happy new year or happy birthday. I can sit for half an hour over one postcard, writing the text of congratulations. And if you need to congratulate in a foreign language, then it can take an hour of precious time.
For people like me, you will find on this page of the site, happy birthday greetings to friends, colleagues, partners in verse and prose in English with translation.

success
If you decide to learn how to correctly express your sincere desire for success in English, first of all, you need to learn how the word “ success» — success. It can be used as an adjective successfull - successful , but often the phrase is used to indicate success "to be a success":

Good wishes
But having become acquainted with this English word does not mean that you have already learned half of the polite phrases - in fact, most wishes for successful completion of something in English do not contain this word. Take the first step and remember the main phrase, namely - I wish you…. –Wish you… Now you can definitely be sure that you have learned the beginning of almost all phrases. Look here:

- I wish To you love— I wish you love
As you have seen, you just need to put the right word after this magic phrase. Let's strengthen the wish by adding "with all my heart" at the beginning of each of the above sentences.
If your loved ones are going on a journey, do not forget to wish them a happy journey, which in English sounds like this - Have a good journey! This is another phrase that can be changed depending on your wishes. If you want a friend to have a good time tell him "Have a good time!". Can you say Enjoy yourself! If you want someone to have a good rest, tell him "Have a good rest!"
If you need to support a loved one who is going to the exam and wish him to pass it successfully, do not forget to tell him: « Break a leg!", which corresponds to the Russian wish " Break a leg!". The wish for success also looks like this - " good luck! Best of luck to you! The best luck!» This phrase can also be said in a situation where you wish someone success in another matter, let's say win something, etc.
If the wish for success should look more formal, learn the following phrase May I wish you success in all you do – let me wish you success in everything you do (in all endeavors).
How to respond to requests

- God bless! -Please God! So help me God!
- Not bad would… -Would not be a bad idea!
- Good would... - It would be fine ...
