Well, it turns out that the phrase “Gesundheit” is used in Germany to wish someone good health after a sneeze. It’s an old German tradition and has been around for centuries! So next time you hear a German sneeze, don’t be surprised if they say “Gesundheit!”
What Do Germans Say Instead Of Bless You? [Solved]
Wow, who knew? Gesundheit is actually German for “health,” and it’s the most popular response to a sneeze instead of “bless you.” Makes perfect sense!
Guten Tag: This is the standard greeting in German, meaning “good day” or “hello.”
Auf Wiedersehen: This is a common farewell phrase, meaning “goodbye” or “until we meet again.”
Danke: This is the German word for “thank you,” and can be used to express gratitude for any kind of favor or service.
Bitte: This word means both “please” and “you’re welcome,” depending on the context in which it’s used.
Gesundheit!: Germans say this instead of “bless you” when someone sneezes; it literally translates to “health!”
Germans don’t say “bless you” when someone sneezes, they say “gesundheit!” It’s a way of wishing good health to the person who sneezed. So next time you hear a German sneeze, don’t be surprised if they don’t say “bless you,” just go ahead and wish them gesundheit!
