A2 Expression ニュートラル

Στην υγεία μας

To our health

意味

Common toast.

🌍

文化的背景

Toasting is not a one-time event. Throughout a long meal, people will say 'Στην υγεία μας' multiple times, especially when a new dish or a new bottle of wine arrives. In Greece, failing to make eye contact while toasting can be seen as a sign that you are hiding something or are not genuinely wishing the person well. Toasting with water is widely considered bad luck. If you don't drink alcohol, it's better to just raise your glass without clinking, or clink very lightly while acknowledging the superstition. While 'Άσπρο πάτο' exists, it's actually less common than in the US or UK. Greeks prefer to sip and savor their drinks over several hours.

🎯

The 'Re' Factor

Add 'ρε παιδιά' (re paidia) at the end to sound 100% more like a local. 'Στην υγειά μας, ρε παιδιά!'

⚠️

Don't be the first to drink

In a group, wait for someone to initiate the toast. Drinking before the toast is sometimes seen as being too eager or impolite.

Generally, no. Greeks don't toast with coffee. It's reserved for alcoholic beverages or occasionally soft drinks at a party.

Both are correct. 'Υγεία' is the formal dictionary form. 'Υγειά' is the common spoken form used in toasts.

If the table is huge, you don't have to reach across. Just raise your glass toward the people further away and make eye contact.

You can say 'Στην υγεία μου' (To my health), but it's much less common. Greeks view drinking as a social activity.
