English term or phrase: good luck

paç fat; fat të mbarë
Explanation:
There are a couple of ways you can say "good luck" in Albanian. The more word per word translation would be "fat të mbarë".

"paç fat" is more of a greeting or wish for another person and would suit your situation better. However, you can use either expression and the meaning will get accross.
