年年有餘 (年年有余)Nián nián yǒuyú
(to wish) abundance year after year

  Here’s an idiom that you’ll hear around the Chinese New Year to wish people well.
    The double 年 in this idiom means ‘year-after-year’, and you’ll often see this double character usage in other places, such as Carrefour’s 天天都便宜 (Tiāntiān dōu piányi) “Low prices everyday” ad. Next is 有 which means ‘to have’, followed by 餘 (余) which is a surplus, or in other words, an abundance.

Thank you for breaking down the idiom for us! 3-)

I like how you used examples to explain what it means. And what a great thought for me to go to sleep on, "abundance year after year".
