Illustrations from Georg Ebers’ late-nineteenth century work Egypt: Descriptive, Historical, and Picturesque. Ebers was a German Egyptologist whose work, which involved the restoration of notable texts and creation of works dealing with nineteenth-century Egyptian society, remains relevant in the field today.

"Kull sanah wenta Tayyib" (كل سنة وانت طيب) is an Egyptian Arabic phrase. It is used as a birthday greeting/wish. It literally means: "every year and you are fine/well."

If you're addressing a female say: "kull sanah wenti Tayyibah" (كل سنة وانت طيبة).

In Standard Arabic, the same phrase is, "kullu sanah wa anta/i Tayyib/Tayyibah".

Another phrase, that you could use in Standard Arabic to wish someone a happy birthday is, "kullu 3aam wa antum bi-khair" (كل عام وأنتم بخير). It figuratively means: "may you be well throughout the year."
