goo-tuh tsoom geh-burts-tahg
Here's a breakdown of the pronunciation:
* gute: "goo-tuh" (similar to the English word "good" but with a slightly shorter vowel sound)
* zum: "tsoom" (the "z" is pronounced like a "ts" sound, similar to the "ts" in "cats")
* Geburtstag: "geh-burts-tahg"
* Geburtstag: "geh-burts-tahg" (the "g" is pronounced as a "g" sound, like the "g" in "gate")
* tag: "tahg" (similar to the English word "tag" but with a slightly longer vowel sound)
Note: In German, the stress is usually on the last syllable of a word, so the emphasis is on the "tag" in "Geburtstag."
The phrase translates to "Happy Birthday" in English.
