Cultural Note
Simply saying '¡suerte!' or '¡mucha suerte!' is the standard way to wish someone luck. Interestingly, while English speakers say 'break a leg,' Spaniards say '¡mucha mierda!' (literally 'lots of sh*t!') in theatrical contexts, borrowed from the superstition that horse droppings outside a theater meant a full house.
