When you’re toasting in Portuguese, you say ‘Saude!’,
which would be something like ‘Health!’.
In Danish we say ‘Skål’
and then, of course, we drink.
Yamas! Yamas – ok. It’s the short form for ‘Stin i yamas’,
which means ‘To our health’.

Sometimes you may say ‘a nossa’,
which would be ‘To us’ – to our health.
Or just general good wishes,
you know, to happiness - felicidade.
