About this tool
Generate Kannada birthday greetings for friends, family and colleagues in Kannada script or Roman transliteration.
Kannada Birthday Wishes Generator writes a complete Kannada birthday message — greeting line, wish and sign-off — from the relationship you pick and the tone you want. Kannada separates ನೀನು from ನೀವು, and that choice changes the pronoun, the possessive (ನಿನ್ನ versus ನಿಮ್ಮ), the dative (ನಿನಗೆ versus ನಿಮಗೆ) and the imperative ending (ಬಾಳು versus ಬಾಳಿ), so each wording here is stored twice rather than patched, and the register is set automatically from the relationship. Wordings written for a particular person — a grandparent, a manager, a small child — only appear for that relationship, so the body of the message changes too, not just the name. Every message comes with romanised Kannada, an English meaning, and the number of SMS parts it needs.

Both registers are written out in full, so the pronoun, the possessive, the dative and the verb ending all agree.
Every message ships with a transliteration and a line-by-line English meaning, covering the greeting and the sign-off as well as the wish.
Kannada is UCS-2 over SMS, so the tool counts the 70/67-character parts for you instead of letting the bill surprise you.
The everyday phrase is ಹುಟ್ಟುಹಬ್ಬದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು (huṭṭuhabbada shubhāshayagaḷu), literally 'birthday good wishes'. Add ಹಾರ್ದಿಕ (hārdika, heartfelt) for warmth: ಹುಟ್ಟುಹಬ್ಬದ ಹಾರ್ದಿಕ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು. ಜನ್ಮದಿನದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು (janmadinada shubhāshayagaḷu) is the more Sanskritised alternative and suits printed cards and formal notes.
Use ನೀವು (nīvu) for parents, grandparents, teachers, managers, clients and anyone older or senior, and ನೀನು (nīnu) for close friends, a partner, siblings of your own age or younger, and children. The choice is not only the pronoun: the possessive becomes ನಿಮ್ಮ instead of ನಿನ್ನ, the dative becomes ನಿಮಗೆ instead of ನಿನಗೆ, and an imperative such as 'live long' becomes ಬಾಳಿ instead of ಬಾಳು. That is why the two versions are written out separately here rather than word-swapped.
ಅವರೇ (avarē) is the Kannada respectful vocative. Attaching it to a name — ಆತ್ಮೀಯ ರಮೇಶ್ ಅವರೇ — is the normal way to address a colleague, a senior or anyone you are not on familiar terms with, roughly the job 'ji' does in Hindi. It belongs with the ನೀವು register; pairing ಅವರೇ with ನೀನು reads as inconsistent.
Kannada falls outside the GSM 03.38 7-bit alphabet, so the message is encoded as UCS-2. That drops the limit from 160 characters to 70 in a single SMS, and to 67 per part once the message is split, under 3GPP TS 23.038 and 23.040. A full greeting with a salutation and a sign-off usually lands at two or three parts. WhatsApp, Telegram and other data apps are unaffected.
