"Chag sameach" is the generic and most common Hebrew greeting for Passover, as well as Succot (the Feast of Booths) and Shavuot (Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks). Both of the "ch" sounds are as in Bach or Loch. Lazy English speakers would pronounce it "hag sa-may-ak" with the accent on the "may" syllable. Translation: the word "Chag" means pilgrimage (compare with the Arabic Hajj, which means the same thing). In the Jewish tradition, all Jews were supposed to make pilgrimages to Jerusalem on Passover, Succot and Shavuot, and when the Temple still stood, many did. "Sameach" just means happy.
