How to Say ‘To your health.’ in Portuguese
À tua saúde.
ah TOO-ah sah-OO-duh
[ah TOO-ah sah-OO-duh]
💬 Usage Tip: [À] is [a] + [a], so you'll often see this little contraction before feminine nouns: [à tua saúde], [à noite]. [Tua] is the informal "your," used with someone you're on [tu] terms with.
🇵🇹 In Portugal: This is a warm, slightly personal toast, so it fits better once the vibe is already friendly. With someone you've just met, many people would simply say [saúde] instead.
