Chinese words for Thanksgiving Day

It's Thanksgiving Day today! Thanksgiving Day is a day of giving thanks to families and friends and be grateful for the blessing of the harvest. Do you know how to say Happy Thanksgiving in Chinese? In this article we will learn how to give thanks in Chinese and learn useful Chinese words about Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving is called 感恩节 (ɡǎn ēn jié) in Chinese. To help us better understand, we may separate the phrase by "感恩" and "节". In the phrase "感恩", "感" is short for "感谢" which means "to thank, to be grateful for…". "恩" can refer to favor or anything that someone helps you with. "节", as in 中秋节 (zhōnɡqiūjié, Mid-autumn Festival) and 母亲节 (mǔqīnjié, Mother's Day) means "festival" or "day". To wish someone a happy Thanksgiving Day, we simply put "快乐 (happy)" after the festival: 感恩节快乐 (ɡǎn ēn jié kuài lè).
