How do you say best wishes in Flemish?

There isn't a direct translation of "best wishes" in Flemish that captures the same nuance as the English phrase. However, depending on the context, you could use:

* Veel geluk! (This is the most common and versatile phrase, meaning "Good luck!" and can be used for various occasions like birthdays, new jobs, etc.)

* Veel goeds! (This means "Much good!" and is a slightly more formal way of saying "best wishes")

* Een prettige dag/avond/tijd! (This translates to "Have a pleasant day/evening/time!" and can be used for more informal occasions like farewells)

* Veel succes! (This means "Good luck!" and is specifically used for wishing someone well in a specific task or endeavor)

The best phrase to use will depend on the specific situation and the level of formality.

For example, if you are wishing someone well on their birthday, you could say "Veel geluk met je verjaardag!" ("Happy birthday!"). If you are wishing someone good luck on a job interview, you could say "Veel succes!" ("Good luck!")

Remember, Flemish is very similar to Dutch, so these phrases are also generally understood in Dutch-speaking regions.
