뜻
Said when someone sneezes or as a toast.
문화적 배경
It is common to say 'Sănătate' even if you don't know the person. If someone sneezes in a store, a stranger might say it from the next aisle. Elders often use 'Sănătate' as a way to bless younger people. It's not just a word; it's a wish for a long, hard-working life. When toasting with 'Sănătate', you must never toast with an empty glass or with water, as some consider it bad luck for the 'health' you are wishing. In corporate offices, 'Sănătate' is often used ironically when someone makes a very obvious or 'true' statement, following the superstition that a sneeze confirms the truth.
The Double Sneeze
If someone sneezes twice, you can say 'Sănătate!' the first time and 'Și noroc!' (And luck!) the second time.
Eye Contact
When saying 'Sănătate!' during a toast, always look the other person in the eye. It's a major cultural faux pas to look at the glass instead.
