yom huledet sameach


Explanation:
Yom- rhymes with Rome
huledet- accent on the middle syllable
sameach- three syllables: sah-meh-ach. The last syllable is guttural.

Some people combine the first two words into one, "yomuledet."

Yom-huledet same'akh


Explanation:
Yom-huledet = birthday (yom = day, huledet= birth).
same'akh = glad, joyful
The pronunciation of "kh" here is as the pronunciation of "ch" in the Scottish word loch.
This is the most common birthday greeting in Hebrew.
In Hebrew characters:
יום-הולדת שמח
