What is this Japanese word?

A while back I learned a Japanese word that can be loosely translated to mean "Come on, you can do it!" but I forgot the word. Does anybody know what word I'm thinking of?

    I know it is Ganbatte but I have seen it written in different ways, like Ganbare and Gambatte, so I dont know which one is the right, but I am sure this is the word you are looking for ^_^

    Good luck!

    You're looking for 'gambare/gambatte' (In Japanese characters 頑張れ/ 頑張って)which is a set phrase used to encourage people to do their best and is generally used wherever English speakers would use 'all the very best' or 'best of luck'.
