Japanese culture is traditionally filled with superstitions regarding luck. Historically, this was taken seriously as it was believed that bad crops, disease and disasters could be prevented with lucky charms or by avoiding unlucky things and places. The following are several ways to say 'lucky' in Japanese.
1. Fuku, ふく, 福
Fuku is a noun for luck. Its kanji is used in dozens of words that describe happiness or lucky things. For example, a Fukubukuro is a 'lucky bag' traditionally sold at New Years in Japan containing mystery items.
2. Engimono, えんぎもの, 縁起物
Engimono means 'lucky charm.' It's a generic term to describe anything that's considered lucky such as a Daruma Doll.
3. Ungaii, うんがいい, 運がいい
Ungaii is an adjective to describe something or someone who is lucky.
4. Tsuiteru, ついてる, 付いてる
Tsuiteru is a verb that's used to describe the state of being lucky. The negative form of the verb, tsuitenai means unlucky.(A woman ties an unlucky omikuji at a shrine)
5. Rakkii, ラッキー
The English word Lucky is expressed in Japanese as ラッキー. This is used once in a while in Japan. As a result, if you say 'lucky' in English many people will understand this word in Japan.
6. Yatta, やった
Yatta means 'horray!' It's commonly used to express a sudden sense of happiness. For example if you win the lottery you might say yatta! One of its possible translations is lucky!
