"Veel geluk" is a Dutch equivalent of "good luck."

The adjective "veel" means "a great deal of, a lot of, the best of." The noun "geluk" means "luck." In the city of Amsterdam, locals tend to wish one another "de mazzel", derived from the Yiddish expression "Mazzeltov", which means the same thing. It was most probably introduced by Portuguese Jews, whose descendants were killed in the Holocaust - according to Maurice Smirc, only one in eight was "lucky" enough to survive that ordeal.
