Can You Say Cheers in Every Language?

Do You Know Your Drink Toasts Around the World?

June 3, 2009

The onset of Summer means many things: road trips, picnics, barbecues, watermelon . . . and weddings. Rarely does a June or July pass by when I'm not at or in a wedding celebration. Since lots of wedding toasts are to be had this time of year, I thought I'd put your multicultural toasting skills to the test. Do you know how to say "Cheers!" in every language? There's only one way to find out!

The Terminator franchise is what got me interested in the movies in the first place. The first was a suspenseful cyberpunk thriller, and the second became my favorite movie of all time. The third fell short of intelligence but still solid nonetheless, and the TV series was a good addition to the franchise. Nearing the end of May, the fourth and latest film addition of the beloved sci-fi franchise will open, and viewers are in for a sheer summer spectacle.

I am ok with 10/12 - too many cheers over too many drinks in too many countries....

8/12! I guessed on most of them. I'm a fan of saying "salud," I just like the way it sounds!

Actually in Greece, "Opa" isn't how you say cheers. Opa is more like Hooray! Or yay! You say it in celebration. When drinking, to say cheers, you say εις υγεία which sounds like yiamas!
