Usage notes

The above phrase may not sound especially polite without a verb that expresses the wish as such, so kívánok can be used at the end of the sentence if the wish is only on behalf of the speaker himself/herself, and kívánunk if it is on behalf of multiple people (one's family, one's company etc.); see also kíván.
