What is the difference between What is your birthday? and When is your birthday? ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
- English (US)
"When is your birthday" is far more common. "What is your birthday" is asked more when someone is filling out a form-it is less personal.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
These mean the same thing. "What is your birthday?" "My birthday is May 1st, 1990." Or "When is your birthday?" "My birthday is May 1st." The only difference would be to say the year for "What is your birthday?"
