Did you know?
- While ચીયર્સ is used in modern urban settings, traditional Gujarati culture avoids alcohol, meaning you will rarely hear any toast used in rural villages or conservative homes.
- While 'cheers' is used among urban youth in Gujarat, the word is almost never used to mean 'thank you' as it is often used in British English.
- In many Indian cultures, including Gujarati, it is often considered more polite to look someone in the eye and offer a blessing rather than shouting a single word while clinking glasses.
