egészségét

egészségét is a Hungarian word that translates to "your health" or "to your health." It is most commonly used as a toast, similar to saying "cheers" in English or "santé" in French. When someone raises a glass and says "egészségét," they are expressing a wish for good health to the people they are drinking with.

The word itself is derived from the Hungarian word "egészség," meaning "health." The suffix "-ét" is a possessive suffix, indicating that it refers to the health of the person or people being addressed. Therefore, "egészségét" literally means "your health."

While primarily used as a toast, "egészségét" can also be used in other contexts to wish someone good health. For instance, if someone is recovering from an illness, you might say "Kívánom, hogy legyen jó egészségét" which translates to "I wish you good health." However, the most frequent and iconic usage remains as a convivial exclamation during a shared drink. It is a simple yet meaningful expression of goodwill and care among Hungarians and those familiar with the culture.
