TO YOUR HEALTH in Russian from Native Speakers. Russian Drinking Toasts. Russian For Travelers

Описание: In Russia, a toast 'TO HEALTH' is one of the most popular and is pronounced at almost any party. But Russians rarely drink 'simply to health', but for the health of someone in particular. For example, for the health of friends or parents. Most often to YOUR health.
There are three options here and you need to know the difference between them!

ZA TVAYO ZDAROVIE ! (RUS in Latin)
ЗА ТВОЁ ЗДОРОВЬЕ ! (RUS in Cyrillic)
Direct translation - TO YOUR HEALTH !
BUT!!! Addressing one specific person
and is used only for INFORMAL communication!!!

ZA VASHE ZDAROVIE ! (RUS in Latin)
ЗА ВАШЕ ЗДОРОВЬЕ ! (RUS in Cyrillic)
Direct translation - TO YOUR HEALTH !
NOTE! Addressing one specific person,
but is used for FORMAL communication!

ZA VASHE ZDAROVIE ! (RUS in Latin)
ЗА ВАШЕ ЗДОРОВЬЕ ! (RUS in Cyrillic)
Direct translation - TO YOUR HEALTH !
ATTENTION! The phrase completely coincides
with an appeal to one respectful person,
but it is also used when addressing several people,
regardless of the form of appeal
(formally and informally)

NEED TO KNOW!

If you say 'ZA VASHE ZDAROVIE !' (to your health) in Russian, it will mean 'TO YOUR HEALTH' in English. Here the meaning of the English and Russian toast is completely identical.
But if you say in Russian just 'VASHE ZDAROVIE ! / YOUR HEALTH !' (without ZA/TO), then it is an analogue of the English.. CHEERS !

At a Russian party, one should distinguish a classic toast for something (for example 'to health') and an exclamation-trigger like 'Cheers - Let`s go'. Many usual toasts can be said once or twice (for example 'TO OUR MEETING' or 'TO YOUR HEALTH', but 'CHEERS' so much as you like.

So, what wish for health in Russian can be said once, and which many? To do this, you need to remember one simple but important rule:

IMPORTANT! Any Russian toast, with the exception of the analogue of 'cheers', ALWAYS begins with the preposition 'ZA / ЗА' just like in English with 'TO'. For example: 'TO women = ZA zhenshin'

!!! DO NOT MAKE MISTAKE !!!
Most likely, you've often heard the expression 'NA ZDAROVIE' and thought it was a popular Russian toast. This is mistake! It is correct to speak 'ZA ZDAROVIE' (to health!).

The phrase 'NA zdarovie' corresponds to the English 'you are welcome' or 'enjoy' in response for thanks, usually for a delicious meal. For example:
Everything was delicious. Thank you!
You are welcome! Enjoy! = NA ZDAROVIE

The Latin letter U should not be pronounced as the English word 'YOU'. (here U = OO)

PAY ATTENTION! Grammar is not our main thing. For example, we all pronounce French PEUGEOT as PEZHO. So Moscow (in Russian - MOskva) is actually pronounced by Russians as MAskva.
