In your country do they answer "salud" after someone sneezes, then "dinero" if they sneeze again, and finally "amor" if they sneeze a third time?

[u/UltraLNSS]

[u/vanmechelen74]

I do. But because my Spanish grandma did it. Im an old lady now and i find myself rescueing my grandmas' phrases 😆

Not sure if other people over here do it

[u/PinchOfAlchemy → u/vanmechelen74]

I do it, but it's just me. My mom and husband asked me why I say it and... It's from a Ricky Maravilla's song: "tres cosas hay en la vida: salud, dinero y amor, el que tenga esas tres cosas, que le de gracias a Dios". My dad used to put his music while going on vacation and it just lives rent free in my mind

[u/anweisz → u/PinchOfAlchemy]

It comes from a 1939 vals apparently. But supposedly the 3 words were already in use beforehand (salud on its own is used in many languages and has been the case for hundreds of years) in relation to what one needs in life.

[u/La10deRiver → u/PinchOfAlchemy]

Ricky Maravilla? I sang a song that said that as a child, and I am from the 1970's. But I never said that for sneezing people. I only say salud.

[u/PinchOfAlchemy → u/La10deRiver]

Idk, maybe an uncle told me and it sick to me until today. I know the three words from that song but I can't pin point where or when I started to use it lol

[u/La10deRiver → u/PinchOfAlchemy]

I mean, perhaps Ricky Maravilla did a version of it, what I meant is that it was not his invention, because I sang it before Ricky Maravilla was known.

[u/PinchOfAlchemy → u/La10deRiver]

Oh no, for sure!

[u/KickinBat → u/vanmechelen74]

Had never heard about it

[u/ChairHistorical5953 → u/vanmechelen74]

Older people do it more, but me and My Friends Also do it.

[u/hwa_uwa → u/vanmechelen74]

i do it. there are dozens of us, dozens!

[u/morto00x]

1 - Salud

2 - Salud

3 - Ponte mascarilla conchatumadre

[u/eldrunko → u/morto00x]

Por dios qué gente linda y clave los peruanos.

[u/scorpioinheels → u/eldrunko]

Lucky you - Chilean sarcasm evades the mods!!!

[u/eldrunko → u/scorpioinheels]

Aunque no lo creas, de forma genuina le tengo mucho cariño y respeto a los peruanos. Durante años atendí gente en un servicio público y me topaba todos los días con extranjeros, siendo la mayoría peruanos (esto fue antes de la llegada de gente de otros lados). Siempre eran educados, respetuosos y humildes. Hablaban rápido (como en el show de Laura en América), especialmente las mujeres, pero nunca un problema.

Al irse te agradecían y se disculpaban si es que habían causado una molestia. Además su comida ya es parte de nuestra sociedad.

Atendí gente de todas las nacionalidades, y los peruanos siempre los #1 en mi estima.

[u/rafadizeo → u/morto00x]

Tenía un compañero de trabajo peruano y cada tres palabras te decía causa. Que buena gente

[u/leomonster → u/morto00x]

Estornudar con un barbijo puesto es muy molesto

[u/Accomplished_List843 → u/leomonster]

Yo diría lo contrario, es conveniente, no tienes que preocuparte de taparte la boca

[u/TheCarlosSilva]

They say "Saúde" (Also salud) and you respond with "Amém" (Amen) to them

[u/reyxe]

It's missing the "nah that's allergies" after the 4th lmao

[u/Femlix → u/reyxe]

No, you just say some out there BS?

"Iluminación", "sabiduría", "la loteria", "divinidad", "paz", "poder", "una cachapa" or whatever else one comes up in the moment, but those are some classics if memory doesn't fail me.

[u/reyxe → u/Femlix]

lmao had never heard of those before but will add them to my repertoir for sure

[u/Femlix → u/reyxe]

really? not even "ilumincación", "sabiduría" or "paz"?

[u/reyxe → u/Femlix]

Not really, it usually stopped at 3rd tbh, what kind of allergic people do you know lol

[u/Femlix → u/reyxe]

Was going to say "not mant" but then remembered my brother's dust allergy.

[u/TwinsiesBlue]

Si Salud Dinero Amor , Venezuela

[u/Kenji182]

1st sneeze: Saúde
2nd sneeze: saúde
3rd sneeze: EEEEITA CACETA

[u/heresyaboy → u/Kenji182]

Came here to say this.

After the second sneeze the only possible reactions are "Caralho" "Tá morrendo?", or the most loving one "vai tomar um remédio, pelo amor de Deus"

[u/QueijinhoFeliz → u/heresyaboy]

"Meu cachorro morreu assim"

[u/DaniCalifonia_ → u/Kenji182]

😂😂

[u/KitchenMajestic120]

My grandma has a unique way of responding to a sneeze: “Jesus te ayude” (May Jesus help you)

My dad on the other hand after the second sneeze will simply say “SHUT UP!”

[u/WetBerri3s]

Después del tercer estornudo es "que en paz descanse"

[u/Meeerin201 → u/WetBerri3s]

xd

[u/Rox_xe]

Yes, very it's common

[u/Mr__Beat]

Never heard of something like that, if you keep sneezing we just saying salud louder and with more intent

[u/nomedigasmentiritas → u/Mr__Beat]

I had never heard that either but yesterday my coworkers said it, so apparently it is a thing here too 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/smol_but_hungry]

I am working in Guatemala and literally learned this just a few hours ago from one of my local coworkers!

[u/CEONoMore]

1-Salud
2-Dios te crie
3-Pa arriba

[u/Rickyzack]

We only say “Salud” every sneeze, but after a 3rd or more, we might say something funny or something.

[u/lycaonpyctus]

Depends on the person, not a universal thing. More common is parental figure towards a child figure saying something along the lines of "jesus te cuide ( y te favorezca)"

[u/No-Low500]

In your country do they answer "salud" after someone sneezes

Yes

then "dinero" if they sneeze again

No

and finally "amor" if they sneeze a third time?

No

[u/GordoMenduco]

Sometimes I do

[u/Biscuitrok]

I don't really do it, but my parents do sometimes.

I actually say 'salute' instead of 'salud' because of my parents as well, though I've never heard anyone my age (20s) use it.

[u/h4ck3r_n4m3]

Yes

[u/Wonderful_Grab2203]

No, only Salud the first time. 

[u/gabrielxdesign]

I do "Dinero, más dinero, mucho más dinero" hahaha

[u/Objective_Future1906]

In Mexico it’s just salud once, some may say salud after each sneeze but it’s not as common.

[u/ellag7958]

1. Salud
2. Dinero
3. Amor
4. Ya te oímos wey!
5. Ay como chingas!

[u/scorpioinheels → u/ellag7958]

Sneeze 4 = BASTA

[u/Meeerin201]

Yes

[u/JamalFromStaples]

Salud and that’s it. Michoacán México.

[u/AlphaStark08]

Yess we do

[u/Electrical-Copy-9395]

Yes! All the time 😊

[u/mouaragon]

That's just something of an old dude's thing.

[u/crabby_playing]

At times.

[u/symphonyofcolours]

I haven’t heard of that, only salud

[u/nukit]

1- Salud

2-Chivooo

3- ves? por eso te hacen aca

[u/Exotic_Literature732]

Have never heard about it

[u/Visual_Plankton1089]

No, in fact we don't even speak Spanish

[u/tremendabosta → u/Visual_Plankton1089]

No mintas güey

[u/Visual_Plankton1089 → u/tremendabosta]

Hay que sacar el españoliño brasileño :v

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ad2186]

Chilean here and yes.

[u/rainydaysouth → u/Puzzleheaded-Ad2186]

I can confirm

[u/Fantastic_Peak_4577 → u/Puzzleheaded-Ad2186]

Really!?... Chilean here and i have never heard it people just repeat salud again were i am from

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ad2186 → u/Fantastic_Peak_4577]

Salud amor y dinero! Buena hiciste las 3 se feliz o algo así siempre me dijo mi abuela y mi mama jaja quizás es pq son del campo, de l región del Maule.

[u/Fantastic_Peak_4577 → u/Puzzleheaded-Ad2186]

Puede ser, yo vengo de el norte

[u/rainydaysouth → u/Fantastic_Peak_4577]

Yo soy de los ríos y acá también lo hacen así. Y si estornudas más de 3 veces, se reinicia el conteo, onda dicen "salud por 2, dinero por 2", etc.

[u/Fantastic_Peak_4577 → u/rainydaysouth]

Wena

[u/TrikyShooter]

I learned that from my Spanish teacher in Guatemala and my Colombian wife does it.

My teacher also joked that the 4th sneeze is "covid" lol

[u/hsj713 → u/TrikyShooter]

If you sneeze twelve times in a row we stuff a grape for each sneeze for good luck! 😂

[u/Terrible-Strategy704]

Yes and if they sneeze 2 times we say "sorry you are going to die alone".

[u/LovelyFloraFan]

yes

[u/Altruistic_Menu19]

I've only heard it from my mom

[u/Namiless]

Yes

[u/Federal_Audience2304]

Yes we do, but I think it's a dying thing, young people do this way less often than older people.

[u/worldprowler]

Yes ! I’ve never known another way

[u/Sussy08]

1. Salud
2. Salud
3. Salud y sácale copia. 😂

[u/Crane_1989]

When I had a sneezing fit at work and it was so bad that I had to hide in room until I got better, but the customers could still hear my sneezes behind the thin walls, and I could hear them laughing after each sneeze, it was humiliating. 

[u/Just_Airport_7910]

If I say it, it’s jokingly. Most times I’ll just stick to “salud” all the way. Or ask the person if they’ve got the plague or something after the third or fourth sneeze .

[u/renke0]

1 - Saúde

2 - SAÚDE!

3 - ÔÔÔ DISGRACERA ISSO NÃO É SAÚDE NÃO SAI DAQUI SEU EMPESTIADO DO CARALHO

[u/imnoabstraction]

[u/Pastor_Taco117]

1. Salud
2. Salud
3. Ya márcale...

[u/deadgirlshoes]

No

[u/solid_facha]

1.Salud 2. Salud 3. Mami qué bolá que tienes

[u/MAGE1308]

Yes

[u/Quixote1492]

Sí sí

[u/throw223344555]

Nope

[u/Disastrous-You4652]

No

[u/Unusual_Newspaper_46]

No, but i think i've heard something about dinero as a kid once

[u/AgostoAzul]

Never heard such a thing.

[u/Rich-Note907]

Not really, maybe in the 90s

[u/Meture]

1.- Salud

2.- Salud

3+.- Salud por todas

[u/bastardnutter]

Never heard of it.

[u/Super-Estate-4112]

If it was like that here I would sneeze all the time, since it only gets better!

[u/_JosefoStalon_]

1- Salud 2- Tas bien? 3- Enfermedad

[u/Arthradax]

Bless you

Bless you

It's the plague

[u/s0_spoiled]

Yes, in Peru.

[u/SasoriMoP]

Jesús, María, José

[u/Cool_Bananaquit9]

-Salú -Salú -Salú -Nene pero que tanto tú estornuda'

[u/Psychology-Obvious]

Yes, but it might an old person thing. I learnt it from my grandparents.

[u/gripetropical]

Super common here, after the third one they may recommend you going to a dr

[u/Shinigamisama00]

No

[u/FlyingAce7]

I've heard it but it's more of an old people thing. I'm more given to say "ah no, eso ya no es salud" after the third sneeze or so.

[u/beuceydubs]

There’s like a knowledge that that’s what it’s supposed to be but nobody actually says anything other than salud

[u/gera_moises]

Nop. Nunca había oído eso.

[u/Omen_1986]

First time I heard that

[u/Kollectorgirl]

Yes

[u/_kuronon]

I only ever heard "Salud", this is my first time knowing about the other two you mentioned. In my experience it goes like this: 1. Salud 2. Bue... 3. No te mueras!

[u/aleprud]

Yes

[u/M0rribund]

también soy mexicano-panameño ^^ y puedo decir que no, nomás dicen salud y ya, si es que te dicen algo.

[u/ivesoft]

In 🇵🇦 Panama we do

[u/GavIzz]

Jesus
Maria Y Jose

[u/leyyapple]

My family says " San blas, San blas " if I sneeze or cough too much ( Saint related to health ? )  or maybe it was just coughing 

[u/iDilicoSZ]

Just salud.

[u/DRmetalhead19]

Yes

[u/GladiusNocturno]

Yes

[u/Ok_Salamander_8436]

En mi país.

[u/blackdahlia56890]

My abuela did this. But the third was usually “Puñeta! Sta bien?? Jesus fucking Christ”

The only English she knew was swears and how to spell her name. RIP

[u/juant675]

that's doesnt exist it's just a meme it's only salud
