뜻
An expression used to wish someone success.
문화적 배경
Wishing someone 'Viel Glück' for their birthday is less common than 'Alles Gute'. However, a very traditional birthday song starts with 'Viel Glück und viel Segen'. In Austria, you might also hear 'Alles Gute' used interchangeably with 'Viel Glück' for exams. Just like 'Break a leg', German actors say 'Toi, toi, toi' and never 'Viel Glück' backstage, as it's considered bad luck to wish actual luck.
The 'V' Rule
Remember that 'V' in German is almost always pronounced like 'F'. Think 'Feel Glück'.
Thumb Pressing
If you say 'Viel Glück', try tucking your thumbs into your fists. It shows you really mean it!
