Did you know?
- While ചിയേഴ്സ് is used in modern social settings, traditional Kerala culture historically avoided public toasts as drinking was often a private or secluded activity.
- When drinking in a more casual, localized way, people might simply say കുടിക്കൂ (kudikkoo), which literally means 'drink', as a way to encourage the group.
- The Malayalam alphabet contains no natural equivalent for the 'z' sound found in the English word 'cheers'.

- എല്ലാ കൂട്ടുകാർക്കും ചിയേഴ്സ്.ella koottukaarkkum cheers.Cheers to all friends.
