health

This is a German word basically means 'health', and has various usages.


Please refer online German to English dictionary cited below.
Example sentence:

Bless you! (after sneezing) --> Gesundheit! (nach dem Niesen)

Peer comment(s):

agree Michael Han : And in Asian cultures, you don't "gesundheit" someone upon sneezing. In a social context with much familiarity of English, you would simply say "bless you" as mentioned above, or in Korean, "축복받으세요," but then you may need to explain yourself.
