意思
Encouraging someone before an event.
文化背景
Dutch people use 'Succes' very frequently, even for minor things like someone going to the supermarket if it's raining. It's a way of acknowledging any 'effort'. In Flanders, 'Veel geluk' is used slightly more often than in the Netherlands for the same situations, though 'Succes' is still perfectly understood and common. It is standard to end a meeting or an email with 'Succes' if the other person has a task to complete. It is seen as professional and supportive. Just like 'Break a leg', Dutch actors say 'Toi toi toi' instead of 'Succes' to avoid bad luck. During the 'Centraal Examen' period, you will see 'Succes' posters everywhere in schools and even in shop windows to support students.
The 'Hè' Addition
Adding 'hè' at the end ('Succes, hè!') makes it sound much more natural and friendly in informal Dutch.
Don't say 'Good Luck'
While Dutch people understand English, saying 'Goede geluk' is a literal translation that sounds very wrong. Stick to 'Veel succes'.
