    "Kiong Hee Huat Tsai!" sa inyong lahat. Apparently, this is proper way to say it for Tsinoys, according to this: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/lifestyle...-hee-huat-tsai

    Whatever the Chinese dialect, here's to a healthy, prosperous New Year to you all.

    Yeah Kiong Hee is Fookien which is the language of the majority of Fujian province based Tsinoys...

    Yung Kung Hei Cantonese yun, mga taga Guangdong province, Hong Kong and Macau ang gumagamit ng dialect na ito...

    Its like telling a Kampampangan "Happy New Year" in Cebuano...
