Here's the situation: one person says "Happy Birthday/Anniversary etc. Wish you health, love, etc". Another person wants to say the same, but to avoid repetition can he say something like "I wish you the same"? What is the right phrase?
Because it's not (usually) the other person's birthday/anniversary, too.In the context of the OP? No.
Yes, its unnatural. Providing you're all online in the chatroom at the same time, your mutual friend could say, informally, "(And) The same from me", as per #2. Or even more informally, and it's very informal, "Ditto from me".I personally think this phrase sounds unnatural and am looking for another one, that would perfectly substitue this one.
Good, thanks a lot.See my #5 for my suggestion. ("Written" as in chat room communications, too.)
