Learn English – Is “Happy born day” grammatically correct

grammar

I have seen some people writing:

I wish you a happy born day/date.

And I felt it is wrong but wanted to cross check.

Best Answer

It is an emerging alternative phrase for birthday.

The more widely recognized expression is happy birthday.

Several references to the term found via Google search suggest it is common among "Black people", apparently African-Americans or in the hip-hop subculture.

See, for example:
