Success Happy

How do you say happy birthday in Twi?

My parents are from Ghana and i know almost every twi word except for happy birthday, if there is one. Plus, today is my friends birthday and she happens to be the only other person with Ghanian parents and i think it would be very sweet if i could wish her a happy birthday in twi.

1. "There is no definite way of saying happy birthday in twi, but "me ma wo awoda pa" is accepted. Me(I) ma (wish) wo (you) awoda (birthday) pa(good). pronounced me-mi, ma-ma, wo-wu, awoda- a-wo-da, pa-pa. You can add "Nyame mma wo mfie ntoaso" to wish the person many happy returns. Nyame (God) mma (grant) wo (you) mfie ntoaso (many returns). "Afihya pa" is used for christmas, new year and other social gatherings occuring yearly like festivals but absolutely not for birthdays. "
