new 2006 year

Non-PRO English Other Linguistics greeting
We wish you a happy new 2006 year!
Could you pls check this sentence for me!
Or maybe there is a better way to say it, but I have to say 2006.
Thank you.

Dec 29, 2005 20:48: giogi changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Stefanie Sendelbach, Christian

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

neutral Mike Delta : Since the subject is 'New Year' rather than '2006' the answer is unsafe, although interpretable. 'Happy New Year, 2006'

a (very) happy 2006

Not a new 2006 - of course it's new! Either this or "happy new year", but if 2006 has to be in there, this is what I'd say.

Thank you
agree Rachel Fell : if you want it longer than George's - and with Jack - or even ".. for 2006"

neutral Mike Delta : I think that it is order to use '2006' to qualify New Year, as in 'Marching Boots, black', 'Bombs, cluster', or New Year, 2006.

Happy 2006

That´s it
There is no such a thing as a "new" 2006 year, cause it is the only 2006 that will ever be.
