ocht is tríocha

'Tríocha a hocht' is by far the most common. But I guess you don't like that either!

Happy Birthday! I hope it's a good one and not, you know, nerve-wracking and full of stress.

That was me. I didn't realize I wasn't logged in.

Tríocha hocht mbliana d'aois, an ea? Nó ocht mbliana tríochad. Breithlá sona duit, cibé! Ciallaíonn sé sin go bhfuil tú faoi bhláth fós! Tá's agat: "fiche bliain ag fás, fiche bliain faoi bhláth..." agus an chuid eile. ;-)

Go raibh maith agat, a Dhonncha! Níl mé ach ag súil ná tiocfaidh aon bheach chúm le mo neachtair a ghoid orm!

At least there's dinner at Marigold waiting at the end of it all.

An ógh thú? Ní dóigh liom é! Caithfidh gur goideadh cuid mhaith de do chuid neachtair faoin am seo. Ah, those precious bodily fluids! ;-)

Gelukkige verjaardag! Je bent maar drie jaren ouder als mij - dat heb ik niet gedenkt.

Interesting bit of info... Prior to the end of the 19th century, the roots for twenty, thirty, forty, etc. were based on the words for three, four, five, etc. respectively.

I guess they considered the 1-10 the first group of 10, 11-19 was the second group, the twenties were the third, and so on.

Also, Happy Birthday!
