Pronunciation

/pʁoːst/

💡

Cultural Note

When saying 'Prost,' Germans always make direct eye contact while clinking glasses — looking away is believed to bring seven years of bad luck (or bad intimacy, depending on who tells the story). The more formal version is 'Zum Wohl!' For wine, 'Zum Wohl' is preferred over 'Prost.'
