Speaker 1 (00:00):
Cheers. Huh, how do you say that? In Spanish? Let's
learn three phrases to choose in this episode of Speaking
Spanish four beginners, kalku moteva mejor Marco, your Latino Spanish
teacher from Latin La. This is a pretty cool episode

(00:24):
because even if you don't know any words an espanel,
you can start using this content at your social gatherings.
Today you learn three phrases to toast an espanel. A
fun episode to share a few drinks with your amigos,
and the summary is available for free on my blog
at www dot Latin la dot com. Are you ready

(00:48):
for this? Yes, sir mama. When sharing a few drinks
with amigos, families, or even colleagues is part of the case,
to toast or, as we say in Spanish, bring that.
How do Latinos do that? Let's study three simple ways

(01:09):
to have fun when you share a few drinks in
a Spaniel no matter, oh no salute. This is the
most common and universal way to toast in Spanish. Salute
ala u. They salute. The word salute literally means health.

(01:31):
Why are Spanish speakers so medical about toasting? Well? One
theory says that in the past, it was common to
save food in bad conditions, so a lot of people
would intoxicate with food. So saying salute health, what's a
way of spreading a good wish so you don't get
sick from the food that goes with your drink. Nowadays,

(01:53):
not many people think about that origin when toasting and
saying salute. It's just the under for tears. And just
because you say salute, which in good health, doesn't mean
it will cure your hangover or resaca in Spanish hangover resaca,

(02:15):
So be careful when you drink salud no metal does
for nostros. This prisis used to celebrate the group or
the relationship among the people toasting. It's a way to
honor friendship, love, or a special bond. Or non sotros
means literally for us or non sotros. Perfect for lively

(02:41):
gatherings or when you want to encourage group unity. So
the next time you want to make a good impression
with your amigos latinos, raise your glass and say or
no sotros and then drink your truggles. The two forms
of toasting so far are salute and poor nostros. The

(03:06):
following one is a fun way to toast, and it
goes with some movements. I'll explain how to do it.
No meadow trace arriva abajo al centro yadentro literally up
down to the center and inside. Arriva abajo al centro jadentro.

(03:30):
When you say arriva, move your glass up. When you
say abajo, move your glass down al centro, you move
the glass right in front of you, and then arenro
inside it's time to drink. It's like the Maccarena of toast.

(03:52):
Arriva centro entro, just without the awkward dance moves. Yaouraki
savis bindar is tempers. I'm sure if you're toasting Spanish,
your amigos will be impressed. Have fun and drink responsibly
so you can continue to join la vida loca and
