Toasts

[Lotoshko Yu.R.]

Next situation
Vy prishli v gosti, vas kormjat, ugoshajut (obed i t.d)
pojev? vy otodvigajete terelku i govorite "spasibo"
hojzjajka (hozjain)     otvexhajet - "na zdodrovje"
Takoj etiket bolee chasto vstrechaetsja na sele, v starych semjach
Situacja ne objazatelna, v novych, v molodych  semjach redko
kultivirujetsja.
Eto podobno privetstvijam "Dobryj vecer' 'Dobryj den' - tolko v starych
intelegentskix semjach
(Dl'a cheskogo jazyka - Ahoj, Nazdar...)

V obycnoj kompashki  - tost 'vzdrognuli' i t.d.

people not fully communicating here about ?? ????????. As Mr. Lotoshko
points out, a Russian will often reply to a toast with ?? ???????? meaning
"thanks for the good thoughts. Perhaps some of us non-natives pick up on
this ??????? and chime in ?? ????????, thinking we are toasting instead of
replying. Thus, we come away with the notion that ?? ???????? is the
original "to one's health" that ?? ???????? or some other toast got started.
