This is something I tried once just to see if I could surprise my friend from Indonesia, and it was honestly kinda cool. Obviously, "Eid Mubarak" works almost everywhere, but there are so many different ways people greet each other for Eid ul Adha, especially if you want to seem thoughtful or just show you put in effort.
For example, in Arabic, it's "Eid Sa'id", or "Eid Al-Adha Mubarak." In Indonesian, it's "Selamat Idul Adha." In Turkish, it’s "Kurban Bayramınız kutlu olsun." If your friend speaks Urdu or Hindi, you stick with "Eid Mubarak." Even in French-speaking places, you’ll hear "Bonne fête de l'Aïd." I tried a few, and honestly, everyone thought it was cool—even if I butchered the pronunciation a bit!
I think people appreciate it when you try to greet them in their language, even for just a day. It shows you care about their background. Plus, with how global Eid has become, it's honestly kinda fun to sound international for once. Just Google the greeting and go for it. It makes your wish stand out and can even start a new tradition in your friend group.
