Hebrew

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.
