I saw that the specific greeting was missing when it came to Hindi and Urdu. I'm from India and can safely say that the following are the closest to wish someone a Merry-Xmas... Hindi- Bade Din Ki Hardik Subhkamnayee Urdu- Bada Din Mubarak Ho Literal translation would mean Bada (Big) Din (Day). Christmas is referred to the 'Big Day' in both Hindi and Urdu. Subhkamnayee (pronounced- shoob-calm-na-aye)is greetings. Although Mubarak (pronounced- moo-baa-rak) would in the truest sense mean Congratulate it can be used here. hi,

What fun going through your list. I saw that the specific greeting was missing when it came to Hindi and Urdu.

I’m from India and can safely say that the following are the closest to wish someone a Merry-Xmas…

Hindi- Bade Din Ki Hardik Subhkamnayee
Urdu- Bada Din Mubarak Ho

Literal translation would mean Bada (Big) Din (Day). Christmas is referred to the ‘Big Day’ in both Hindi and Urdu. Subhkamnayee (pronounced- shoob-calm-na-aye)is greetings. Although Mubarak (pronounced- moo-baa-rak) would in the truest sense mean Congratulate it can be used here.
