The word “شانس” (šâns) is an Arabic word that means “chance” or “luck” in English.

For example, you might say “شانس” to someone who has just won the lottery, or you might use it to describe a lucky event that happened to you. You can also use the word to express hope for the future, as in “بإذن الله، شانس” (bi’idhni llāh, šâns), which means “God willing, I will have good luck.”
