Aldina has no custom of clinking glasses, but raising a glass in a toast is often accompanied by a cheer. Such cheers include:

Oë! Not a cheer so much as a general-purpose interjection, one of the uses of is during a toast. It has no actual meaning; it's just a general exclamation of emotion.

L'empereur! or L'impératrice! when used as a cheer is generally repeated three times, each followed by a hurrah.

À toi! ("to you") is a common cheer as well, wishing the subject good health, good luck, etc. etc.

The English "Cheers!" is popular, even though the most prevalent language is French. "Vive!" is also common; history disputes exactly what it's derived from (the most common belief is "Vive Ankuran!", but the custom is also present in New Belgium, meaning it was probably originally derived from "Vive Nouveau-Belgique!" or "Vive le Croix!"). Nowdays, it's usually taken to mean the toaster wishing his fellows a long and healthy life.

They have a couple.

"Var se diam mine!" ("This is a good day!") <-- a favorite. Often they clink the glasses on "var" to emphasize it.
"Gant'yah nah!" ("All of you, have joy!") <-- another favorite.
"Sim izren, sim Deu." ("One people, one God.") <-- popular at government or patriotic events, as it is the national motto.
"Forna dankus." ("We give thanks.") <-- less common, but still used.

Private drinking is legal, public is not. However when drinking most Krossats clink their glasses and state, “Cressik Vor Avrük.” It translates to “Coddle our Fallen.” It is usually associated as a quick prayer upon the death of loved ones.
The second most common phrase best translates to “To the pump or sun!” Which means drink until you go to the hospital or pass out.

A commonly reoccuring phrase when regarding "Cheers" would be Vitayu, roughly translating to "Salute!". The same phrase is also heavily associated with the Assembly of the Zayetist-Collectivist Offensive.

In the Reich, "Prost" is said by the working and middle class as well as enlisted military personnel. " Skal" is spoken by the rich and military officers. All Nachfolgians, however, say " To the Obersterfuhrurin!" before making a toast using the above mentioned sayings.

"Skál!" is the most common form, though "Saman til bardaga!" is sometimes used as well.

Tzesniya is a Feudal Kingdom in Southwest Anea that features many elements of Magic and Fantasy. The Current Royal House is House Geirhardursson, led by Fyyrhan The Revolutionary.

The toaster exclaims "Sha ―" and drags out for a moment before drinking, allowing others to join in with the same elongated exclamation.
It can be somewhat cacophonic at larger gatherings.

In Freneq English, toasters use “Lovely!” or “Longly!” while clinking their glasses, a contraction of “love/long life,” and often add “my friend” for emphasis. German speakers use “Prost,” while Chinese speakers “干杯 (Gānbēi)!”, and depending on the person, English speakers use these terms too, with “Prost” being more common. In Neighlander Equestrian, the phrase is “Eut vaundé’äsh,” lit. may we forget sadness, with “Wufteźöth” lit. a cup of jolly, being the Mainland Equestrian alternative.
I’m mostly here for... something to do, I suppose.

Formal:
To the flag!

  • A drink to victory! (this cheer is used exclusively after a decisive victory)
Informal:
  • Here's to you!
  • Here's lookin' at you
  • Here's lookin' at you, kid!
  • Aye!
  • Cheers, kid!
  • Cheers, lads!
