LingoflyWishes and congratulations: que + subjuntiu
A wish is built with que plus subjuntiu, the form for what is not yet real: Que faça bon temps! — may the weather be good! Que tingues sort! — good luck! For example: “Que faça bon temps el cap de setmana!” — May the weather be good on the weekend! A rule from the Valencian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
A wish is built with que plus subjuntiu, the form for what is not yet real: Que faça bon temps! — may the weather be good! Que tingues sort! — good luck!
The forms are learned as formulas: faça (of fer), ploga (of ploure), tingues (of tenir).
Ready-made congratulations live next to them, with no verb at all: Felicitats! — congratulations, Per molts anys! — happy birthday.
And the Valencian birthday wish is its own: Que complisques molts més! — may you turn many more!

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
