Happy new year 2007 :)

[Tamara]

Hi

1. Could you give (all ) ‘correct’ combinations for ‘happy’, ‘new’, ‘2007’ and ‘year’?
(I actually don’t know where is the best place of/for ‘2007’ )

happy new year 2007? new 2007 year? …

2. Which article – definite, indefinite, zero - should I use in my greetings when mentioning a specific year?
How does ‘a new year 2007’ sound to you?

(Wishing you the/a (?) good new year 2007 )

Hi Tamara

If I were to use the year (number) instead of simply saying "Happy New Year", I'd say (for example) "Happy 2007!" or "Have a happy and healthy 2007!"

To me saying both "new year" and "2007" is redundant since in the context they can both be seen as proper names for the same thing.

You can't say "Happy new 2007" because that would suggest there was an old 2007.

You can use the this way:
"I hope the new year brings you health and happiness."

Happy 2007, Tamara.

Hi

Thank you, Amy. Happy 2007 to you too.
This year I'm glad to see and read you as well as I really was during the last one. Even more, I'd say. Plus (laaarge) 1.

Hi Tamara!

Wish you all the best for your Old Russian New Year Day. I assume you?re not allowed to have firework in England, are you? Well, in a case of emergency you could hit the spoons on the pot!

I myself usually behave more aristocratic on New Year Eve (Sylvester abend in Germany). While calming down our horses which are always nervous (same procedure as every year) I enjoy seeing the fireworks in the towns round our "castle" (3 directions in the forth there is a bush).

See you
