So the "Turkish language award" has been changed to "near eastern studies stipend." And when it did that, I decided to email my Hebrew professor, Nava, to see if she knew anything about it. Her response

Seriously? Wow. What is the Hebrew for congratulations? Heck ... I'll say it in English. Congratulations.

Thanks. :D It's "mazal tov," by the way.

Is it really? I almost said that, but thought it was a Yiddish word instead of proper Hebrew. COOL! I know a Hebrew word!

[sontres]

Hehe, yep. Mazal=luck and tov=good. So in Hebrew, "good luck" is used kindof retroactively. ;P I don't know anything about Yiddish though.
