Birthday is used as is by kankanaey speakers. My guess is that no birthday celebration is done by our ancestors.
Hence, there was no need for a local term of birthday then.
Nowadays, as the current generation are into birthday celebrations, the word birthday is used as by the locals.
"Man-birthday si uncle si bigat." = Uncle will celebrate his birthday tomorrow.
"Ay tan birthdeym baw?" = Is it your birthday.
"Happy birthday ngalod ah. " = Happy birthday then.
