Question
Please could you translate the phrase
'Happiness to you all' into Latin?

Answer
Hello,

"Happiness to you all” can be translated as follows:

1-“ Vobiscum sit felicitas! ”
or:
2-“ Beate vivatis!”

Best,
Maria

NOTA BENE
Happiness = FELICITAS
to you all =VOBISCUM SIT

In the second translation, BEATE is an adverb meaning ‘happily', while VIVATIS (may you live) is the 2nd person plural of the subjunctive present from the verb ‘vivo'(I live).
