意思
A common toast when drinking.
文化背景
The 'Eye Contact' rule is paramount. Failing to look someone in the eye while saying 'Tavo sveikata!' can be interpreted as a lack of trust or friendship. Clinking non-alcoholic drinks is generally acceptable among younger generations, but some older Lithuanians still believe you should only clink with alcohol. The order of toasting often follows age or status. Even in informal settings, people might wait for the eldest or the host to say the first 'Sveikata!' It is common to say 'Į sveikatą!' when someone sneezes, but 'Tavo sveikata!' is almost exclusively reserved for drinking.
The Eye Contact Rule
Always look the person in the eye. It's the most important part of the toast in Lithuania.
Don't Cross Arms
When clinking with a group, make sure your arm doesn't cross over someone else's arm. It's considered bad luck.

Non-alcoholic toasts
It is perfectly fine to say 'Tavo sveikata!' with a glass of gira (kvass) or juice.
