Using 祝你好运

祝 is “to wish” and 好运 is “good luck”, so 祝你好运 is “(I) wish you good luck”. It is what parents say before a spelling test, a piano recital or a big game — and what friends write in each other's cards before exams. Shouted casually, it shortens to 好运! on its own.

In Traditional Chinese it is 祝你好運; only 运 changes, to 運. For encouragement during the effort rather than before it, switch to 加油 (“go for it”). The two make a natural pair on a lucky-note practice sheet: 祝你好运 before the test, 加油 during it.
