Cultural Note
In Portuguese, 'aniversário' covers both birthdays and anniversaries — context makes it clear. Brazilian birthday parties (festas de aniversário) are elaborate social events, often with a specific theme, brigadeiros (chocolate truffles), and the famous 'Parabéns pra Você' song. The birthday person typically cuts the cake and hands the first slice to someone special.
