You will be surprised to know that the Spanish language has multiple ways to say “Good Luck”. Let’s see further what they all are.

Good Luck (¡Buena suerte!)

It is the basic way to wish someone good luck. If you are leaving the office and about the walk when it’s raining or going for a first date or buying a second-hand car one may say ¡Buena suerte!

May you have Good Luck (Que tengas buena suerte)

This is useful on less casual occasions like you simply met for the first time or perhaps in a meeting setting.

The Best of Luck (La mejor de las suertes)

This is also quite a standard expression and one that one may hear several times during the course of a week when you are in any Spanish-speaking country.

Forward (¡Adelante!)

When someone is trying for a new venture, assignment, or even simply pressing on through a tough time, this small yet encouraging expression conveys warm wishes for a successful result.

Fingers Crossed for you (¡Cruzaré los dedos por ti!)

Crossing your fingers for somebody (or yourself) expresses hope and the wish for something to occur in a favorable manner. This expression is greatly used in the English language, too.

I Wish you the Best of this World (¡Te deseo lo mejor del mundo!)

This is a quite enthusiastic expression of conveying luck and well-wishing. When used amongst family members or close friends, it could be a quite heartfelt and sincere wish.

Wish you Success (¡Éxito!)

Less frequently used than some of the other ones, this concise expression of good wishes is helpful to know. It rolls off the tongue easily and is good with a hand wave as you are taking leave.

What Luck (¡Qué suerte!)

You may hear this when someone gets exceptionally fortunate. Like one soccer team scores merely before the final second.
