运气
yùnqì
luck
运气 (Yùnqì) is often used in similar ways to the English word 'luck'. It can be used generally to refer to one's fortune or fate. It's especially used to describe the result of an event that's determined more by chance than by one's control. It's not uncommon to hear someone wishing another person good luck by saying 祝你好运 (Zhù nǐ hǎo yùn) in Chinese.
