The one thing to get right: आप vs तुम within the family
Family wishes are the warmest register — affectionate, personal, no need to hold back. But even here Hindi asks for one careful choice: **आप for elders** (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles) as a mark of respect, and **तुम for peers and juniors** (siblings, cousins, younger relatives) as a mark of closeness.
So the same festival, same house, but “आपको दिवाली मुबारक” to your father and “तुम्हें दिवाली मुबारक” to your little brother. Getting this right is what makes a Hindi wish sound native rather than translated — and it’s the difference we build into every personalized wish.
For colleagues or a boss the register climbs to formal-respectful (see those guides); with friends it drops to fully casual. Family sits in the warm middle — respect for elders, play with peers.
