In bocca al lupo is an Italian equivalent of the English phrase "In the wolf's mouth," which is the first of a two-part traditional way of expressing luck among Italian language speakers.

Specifically, the preposition in means "in." The feminine noun bocca means "mouth." The word al combines the preposition a with the masculine singular definite article il to mean "at the, in the." The masculine noun lupomeans "wolf."

The pronunciation is "een BOHK-kahl LOO-poh."
