חג שמח

Hebrew

Etymology

Literally “happy holiday”.

Phrase

חַג שָׂמֵחַ‎ • (khag saméakh)

  1. A greeting used on holidays.

Usage notes
  • As חג‎ (khag, “holiday”) is used by some speakers to mean “holiday” in a very generic sense, and by others to mean specifically a religious holiday (with not all religious holidays even necessarily counting), so חג שמח (khag saméakh) is used on different holidays by different speakers.
