À la vôtre
Expression: À la vôtre
Pronunciation: [
a la vot(reu)]
Meaning: Cheers! To your health!
Literal translation: To yours!
Register: informal
Notes: The French expression
à la vôtre is the most common way to toast people. It's a contraction of
à votre santé, hence the feminine
definite article la in the
possessive pronoun la vôtre.
You can use
à la vôtre with a group of people in an informal situation. In a more formal situation, whether talking to one person or to a group, it's better to say
à votre santé.
The expression used to toast just one person in an informal situation is
à la tienne.
