How to Say ‘Cheers!’ in Traditional Chinese
乾杯！
qián bēi
[gānbēi]
💬 Usage Tip: 乾杯 (gān bēi) literally means "dry the glass".
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Strictly speaking, it invites everyone to finish their drink, but in a relaxed bar people often just take a sip. Saying 隨意 (suí yì) "drink as you like" signals there's no pressure to down it.
