Article for birthday
Hello all!
Do we need any article or pronoun in the sentences below?
He has birthday today.
He has a birthday today.
He has his birthday today.
Well I guess that "it's his birthday today" will sound better but still, I'd like to know which sentence of the three above is correct. Merci! ^^

Hmmm... I agree because it sounds a bit odd to mee too. Any more opinions? ^^

No native would ever say this.
It's his birthday today. Or Today is his birthday.
"He has a birthday party today" is ok.
But "He has a birthday" - sounds odd indeed!

As a matter of fact, I would say these
He's having a birthday today, so expect him to drink straight Vadka throughought the whole evening.
He has a birthday coming up on Saturday, so he's very anxious to stock up on Vadka.
Every time he has a birthday, he drinks himself into oblivion.
And asnwering your original question, yes you need to use an article wi

Alcohol is not my favorite beverage. But perhaps for those who look for every opportunity to indulge their drinking desire, there is no better excuses than birthday. In Mr.P's context, it's excatly that which is a depiction of a drinking binge. Although the word "party" is omitted, "a birthday" was meant to be a celebration of one's birth, but in this case, it's a celebration of wild drinking.

Native speaker here.
These are okay:
He has a birthday today.
He has his birthday today. (not as common)
These are better:
He has a very special birthday today. (like 21, 50, 90, etc.)
It's his birthday today.
Today is his birthday.
Me. Pernickety, take note: vodka. A Russian should know how to spell vodka in many languages!

Hi Khoff,
He's having a birthday today,- so in your native opinion, this is grammatical?, and making sense?
I know what it intended to mean as I've lived here long enough. But for others, it is quite odd.

Yes, "He's having a birthday" is fine, and "He has a birthday coming up" is even more common.
