'Wish you' requires an object.
Sorry I couldn't wish you 'Happy Birthday" on time. So I have to say "Happy Belated Birthday" to you.
Sorry I couldn't wish you 'Happy Birthday" on time. So I have to say "Happy Belated Birthday" to you.
CliveSorry I couldn't wish you 'Happy Birthday" on time. So I have to say "Happy Belated Birthday" to you.But the birthday was not belated; the wish is. So logically one should say something like the following.
'I couldn't wish you a Happy Birthday on time. So I belatedly wish you a Happy Birthday.
If "belatedly" sounds too odd, we can say one of the following.
'So I give you my belated Happy Birthday wish.'
'So I am wishing you a Happy Birthday a little late.'
