Dear italki community, i need help with the below
Is it ok to say about something that you have done successfully, such finishing a job proyect or achieving a goal:
Job done! May it be a start of new beginnings!
May this be a beginning of new opportunities!
Which one sounds more naturally? What would be the difference in meaning?

I'd be inclined to go with the second version. It sounds more natural. There isn't really a difference in meanings. Both sound like hopes and wishes. The first one could be rephrased only slightly if you wanted, to something like "May it be the start of a new beginning" or "may it be the start of new beginnings." (only one word different there.) These tiny changes make it sound just a touch more natural. Your second option is fine as is. Some might think the "a" should be a "the" but that's more about style than "right or wrong." Hope this helps. If I was unclear, just let me know, and I'll try to clarify myself. Hope all goes well with whatever you're looking toward!

I would say "May this be THE beginning of new opportunities!" or "May this be THE start of new beginnings". Both of these sound fine to me :)
