You don't have to be in another country or speak another language to enjoy a fun lighthearted toast or "cheers" with others. Toasting is a great way to celebrate and is an expression of goodwill. And, when done in the same language as a new friend or acquaintances, can signify respect. Learning to say "cheers" in another language is easy and below you'll find the most popular 16 different languages.
Disclaimer: Some might not be direct translations like "L'chaim" in Hebrew (meaning "to life,") but that is the proper way to say "cheers."
