Bad luck
|
| Hej.
This is the first time I have to ask for help.
What is correct:
What a bad luck!
or
What bad luck!
Thank you for the answers in advance.

Hi! I �d say "What bad luck", because in English this noun is uncountable, unlike in many other languages.
Have a nice day!

As mena said, "What bad luck" is correct as "luck" is uncountable.
If you are determined to use "a", then it would have to be "What a piece of bad luck" as piece is singular.
Cheers,

Or you could also say... "a bit of bad luck", "a spell of bad luck", "a lot of bad luck"...

I always say " What bad luck" or " a bit of bad luck" as Zora mentioned.
