“Gesundheit!”
posted 1 year ago
The German word “Gesundheit” (article: die) means “health”. So after so. sneezes, it’s very polite to wish him health.
I’ve heard the same expression in the United States before, which always makes me smile. Apparently early immigrants from Germany introduced it.
What do you say when someone sneezes?

I grew up in a family who only said “Gesundheit.” One day as a little girl I sneezed and someone said “bless you.” I was very confused.
