Cheers in Italian

How To Say Cheers in Italian

December 5, 2018 By //  by Hogan Murphy

The Italians are well known for their love of wine. It’s no coincidence that they have several meanings for cheers as you raise your glass and toast your friends and family.

As time went on Cin Cin started to pick up with ships sailing throughout Europe and Asian. As they docked for the night the common cheers would be said as it was the only way to relate to the other seamen. Italians ran with this toast as they loved how it almost sounded like the clanging of classes after giving the cheers.

Salute – The more formal cheers and toasting of one another is by saying Salute. The meaning is much like other countries with “to your health”. Touching glasses isn’t needed in a formal setting, nor making eye contact like other European countries.

The term Salute also has several other meanings and is used if someone sneezes or is sick. For the most part it can be used anytime you want to wish someone good health or to get better.
