'Mazel tov' or 'mazal tov' (Hebrew/Yiddish: מזל טוב, Hebrew: mazal tov; Yiddish: mazel tov; lit. 'good fortune') is a Jewish phrase used to express congratulations for a happy and significant occasion or event.
Etymology and pronunciation[edit]
No Occasion Artinya
The expression comes from the Mishnaic Hebrewmazzāl, meaning 'constellation' or 'destiny', which may be related to nazal, meaning 'to flow down'.[1][2][3]
While the words mazal (or mazel in Yiddish; 'luck' or 'fortune') and tov ('good') are Hebrew in origin, the phrase is of Yiddish origin, and was later incorporated into Modern Hebrew. The Yiddish pronunciation of mazel has the stress on the first syllable, the modern Hebrew word mazal has the stress on the last syllable, as is standard in modern Hebrew.
The phrase 'mazel tov' is recorded as entering into American English from Yiddish in 1862,[4] pronounced /ˈmɑːzəlˌtɔːvˌ-ˌtɒvˌ-ˌtɒf/.[5] The word mazel was lent to a number of European languages, meaning 'luck', such as: German, as Massel; Hungarian, as mázli; Dutch, as mazzel and the verb mazzelen ('to be lucky').[6] The word tov also entered Dutch as tof/toffe ('nice' or 'great').[7]
Usage[edit]
Mazel tov is literally translated as 'good luck', but it isn't used the way that phrase is in English (as a wish for the future). Instead, the implicit meaning is 'good luck has occurred' or 'your fortune has been good' and the expression is an acknowledgement of this fact. It is similar in usage to the word 'congratulations!' and conveys roughly that 'I am pleased this good thing has happened to you!'[citation needed] A common Hebrew phrase for wishing 'good luck', is b'hatzlacha (בהצלחה), literally meaning 'with success'.[8]
Throughout the Jewish world, including the diaspora, 'mazel tov!' is a common Jewish expression at events such as a bar or bat mitzvah or a wedding. For example, at a Jewish wedding, it is shouted by the couple's friends and family after the ceremonial breaking of the glass. The phrase is used for all sorts of happy occasions, such a new driver's license, a birthday, or getting a new job.[9]
