I'd like to speak English more naturally and not the kind of English you find in a textbook, please correct me so that I can sound like a native🙇‍♂️
It's alright even if you change an entire sentence!!

I talked to someone yesterday whose father recently passed away, should I not say Happy New Year to her? Is there a different word?
Yeah, I would not say Happy New Year in this situation. Instead you could say,
• May this new year bring you comfort and peace.
• May our loved ones above protect us in the New Year.
• New Year’s blessings to you and your family.

Ohh, I see! Thank you so much!!!

You're very welcome!
Best wishes to you for a healthy and prosperous New Year 〜

Thank you so much!!! Same to you! Oh, also is this expression natural?
"Let's make this a great year for both of us!"

Hmm... I've personally never heard it before, but grammatically it's correct.
It might be more natural if you added a "the" before "both."
"Let's make this a great year for the both of us!"
There's no real grammatical reason for adding "the," it just adds emphasis, I think. We often hear the pattern "the two of us," "the both of us," in native speech.

Ohhh, I learned a lot!!!
That would be so helpful! Thank you!!


Sure thing!

I'd like to speak English more naturally and not the kind of English you’d find in a textbook, so please correct me so that I can sound like a native🙇‍♂️

It's alright even if you change an entire sentence!!

I talked to someone yesterday whose father recently passed away,; should I not say Happy New Year to her?

When combining two independent clauses, you need to put a conjunction in between or a semicolon (;). Using a comma leads to a run-on sentence.

Is there a different word?

Yeah, I would not say Happy New Year in this situation.

Instead you could say,:

• May this new year bring you comfort and peace.

• May our loved ones from above protect us in the New Year.

Grammatically it is correct, but it sounds very weird lol

• New Year’s blessings to you and your family.

Ohh, I see!
