Drinking!

[womble]

Is there an Armenian equivalent of 'Cheers!', ie. something that is said as a 'toast' before taking a drink with someone?

i know կենաց means toast, but that's not the kind of toast i mean! I mean what you say to someone before having a drink with them!

You could stand up and drink on the health of the people sitting with you or drink a toast about free Armenia and Artsakh. The best is if you stand and give a speech around two min. and than drink. But we don't have a word like cheers, hayer give little speechs, kenatsner. Hope this helps.

"Park Astson"

"Oghormi"

I hate when people stand up and talk for 5-10 min..everyone waits until his done so they can finally drink.

But its great when your with bunch of your family, they get drunk and start singing One person starts singing and everyone follows. In any occasion this happens.

Շնորհակալ եմ, Fedayeen. I think Park Astson means 'Glory to God' (Փառք Աստուծոն / Աստծուն) but I don't know what Oghormi means.

While drinking you can also say; ցանկանում եմ առողջութիւն , աշխատանքի յաջողութիւն եւ այլն...
