That's all Greek to me
(In which case I guess it should be: Και ένα πολύ ευτυχισμένο νέο έτος και για εσάς)

clue is in the last word

[PinkDalek]

I had no difficulty with the last word but being Hungarian, I thought I’d help with the translation.

could have a lot of fun here breaking the swearword rules

Welsh is the language of the gods and therefore does not include any swear words.

These days the youngsters seem to use Ffwcio a lot, but that's the trouble, most of them speak Cymlish. Diawl, diawl used to to be considered strong language when I was young, which for a card carrying methodist was shocking!!!

George Borrow in Wild Wales (1862):

A boy with a team, whom I had passed a little time before, came up. He was whipping his horses, who were straining up the ascent, and was swearing at them most frightfully in English. I addressed him in that language, inquiring the name of the crag, but he answered Dim Saesneg [no English], and then again fell to cursing his horses in English. I allowed him and his team to get to the top of the ascent, and then overtaking him I said in Welsh: “What do you mean by saying you have no English? you were talking English just now to your horses.”
“Yes,” said the lad, “I have English enough for my horses, and that is all.”
“You seem to have plenty of Welsh,” said I; “why don’t you speak Welsh to your horses?”
“It’s of no use speaking Welsh to them,” said the boy; “Welsh isn’t strong enough.”
“Isn’t Myn Diawl tolerably strong?” said I.
“Not strong enough for horses,” said the boy; “if I were to say Myn Diawl to my horses, or even Cas András they would laugh at me.”
“Do the other carters,” said I, “use the same English to their horses which you do to yours?”
“Yes,” said the boy, “they all use the same English words; if they didn’t the horses wouldn’t mind them.”
“What a triumph,” thought I, “for the English language that the Welsh carters are obliged to have recourse to its oaths and execrations to make
their horses get on!”
