First week of the year and first lessons of the year.

Tell me: how do you say “happy new year” in your target language?

I know there are others learning German here so I’ll use the Austrian version:

Prosit Neujahr!

    Yes, if literal, it’s something like “[a new year] has dawned, congratulations.” The first one’s a lot like how we’d say “wishing you a happy new year” in December.

    And of course, since the Japanese love shortening things to four mora when speaking casually, there’s also あけおめ.
