Bye, and all the best... Explanation: I think it's a way of saying: Bye, and all the best for the future...or "good luck" because we don't assume that the next thing visitors do after an exhibition is climbing a mountain... |

peer agreement (net): +5Greetings and Good Luck! Explanation: My former boss is from Switzerland. His wife drives a BMW with North Carolina license plates that instead of a number has "GRUEZI" on it. She says it to me when we meet and when we leave. They also say "Glueckauf" as a way of saying "Cheers" when drinking a glass of wine. Weird bunch, these Swiss :)). But in this case I think a simple Good Luck would work.... I've always understood Glueckauf to be similar to what Martin describes, and Gruezi Wohl to mean - "Greetings for Continued Well-being!" I'd suggest using the typical Swiss term "Gruezi" without translation and Good Luck, if at all possible. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2007-07-02 18:33:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, clarifying here as per Nicole's suggestion - if possible: Gruezi and Good Luck! |
