祝福

• 拼音: zhù fú

含义

To bless; to wish someone well; blessing. An expression of goodwill, often with a religious or heartfelt connotation.

Can be a verb (祝福你 — I wish you well) or a noun (送上我的祝福 — send my blessings). Common on occasions like birthdays, weddings, the New Year, and farewell gatherings. More emotionally warm than the neutral 祝 (to wish) alone. Used in speech, cards, messages, and formal occasions.
