jbedetnunsla isn't "birthday", of course; it's the party you have on
your birthday.

I'd say something like {.ui dai jbedetri} or {.a'o pluka/se gleki
jbedetri} or {.a'o do zanfri le jbedetri} or {.a'o le jbedetri cu
pluka do}

Depending on how specific/verbose I felt like being, and stylistic
preference.
