#1

This is another one of these “name” sentences. Does the word “Lucky” have any use in German? I didn’t see it listed in leo.org. Is it perhaps a colloquial word?

I ask because I know that when English words or expressions are borrowed into German, they can sometimes end up with very different meanings, like “Handy” or “Public Viewing”.

#2

It is one of those “Name sentences”, Yes.

#3

Yeah, but what I’m asking is, does the word “lucky” have any uses other than as a name, in German?

#4

It’s just a Name, nothing else.
