Question number two as that would imply date, month and year.

Answer 4

when is your birthday is appropriate when you are asking someone but when you are filling out an application for employment you will see the words "date of birth" which is a more professional way of asking for someone's birthday. hope this has helped you.

Answer 5

1 means just when the day is.eg:april 17

#2 and #3 mean the same that the year too.

Answer 6

Simply-"I want to wish you on your birthday,when can I"

Answer 7

I think the best answer is number 2.

for question #1 and #3, most people answer with only the month and the day they do not normally give the year.

if you want to know the day, month, and year, most people would give you this information in response to question #2.
