Download the app for free German vocabulary testSo weit, so gut is a word-for-word match with the English phrase, and both work the same way: so weit, bis jetzt, does the carrying, and the sentence promises nothing about what comes next.
The comma is compulsory in German, where English writes so far so good without one. And the construction stays productive: so weit, so schlecht is a common ironic variation that English does not really have.
soweit as far as
Written as one word when it introduces a clause — soweit ich weiß — and as two when it means “thus far”. A rule Germans get wrong constantly.
bis jetzt up to now
The plain alternative, without the superstition attached.
toi, toi, toi touch wood
The German charm against jinxing, said three times and often with a knock.
