    "Godt nytt år"

    "be comfortable New Year"- literal translation,

    but Happy New Year is:

    Godt= good

    "Glade Nytt år"

    You can find the å (a with a ring above it) on your character map or key-strokes (on my computer anyway):

    U+OOE5

    Glade=happy (where olde English derives 'glad' from)

    It is not an umlaut, as an umlaut is for German and is written as a horizontal colon above the letter like thus:

    ä

    å- is called a-'ring'

    Glade Nytt år to you too!

    They have always had a strong commitment to social justice issues and the idea of an entire country being stolen and it's people cast out probably is not to them a pleasing spectacle.

    I think it is what you'd say to extend the best to a friend for the new year. So, you could say it is 'Happy New Year!'
