Quick question: Is 'salut' fake italian for the salute? The hello in french?

I'm English, but I'll field this question.

Thanks.

I think it just means "this thing is good".

They say it on The Sopranos.

Not Crap.


If you wish to indicate that something is good, you say "Salut".

So a bastardization of itailian? Salute: to yr health, cheers!

Salut in French just means : Hi !

Yeah, that's basically it.

And "hi" in Polish is "cześć". You can try as long as you want and you still won't be any close to pronouncing it properly.

It's pronounced chetch, no? There's possible the hint of a 'k' sound before/after the 't', maybe?

A Polish girl I met said so, but maybe she was dumbing it down for me.

I think it's chekh(like saying an H from your throat)

Just like when you say "Hanukkah" You guys are saying it Hannukah, but it's actually KHHanukkah. Kinda hard to explain it to people who don't have this consonant in their language.

I believe "Salud" en espanol is part of a toast.

'Salute' is real Italian for 'Health'
