Mazel Tov?

TavorIMI:
Hi,

I am just starting to learn Hebrew/Evrit? I know that "tov" is "well". For example Mashlem har? Tov toda.
Forgive my spelling  :-[  I have heard the expression "Mazel Tov" Can anyone tell me what it means please.

BTW if there is anyone in Kent UK who is also learning Hebrew let me know and we could swap notes  :)

Mazel Tov is an literal translation of good luck. i read it is wrong to use it in real Hebrew.

"mazzel" and "tof" are Dutch words BTW.
i just wonder if there's any relation with Hebrew :laugh:

TavorIMI:
Thanks guys for you replies.

I was watching a travel program about sailing to Israel and the presenters met some IDF guys at a check point and in the conversation that followed the term "sababa" came up which was translated as "cool". So there's another new word I can add to my vocabulary.  ;)
