In french :
"nazdrov'ye" = "a ta santé"
"milochka" ? but "milotchka" = "ma chère, ma chérie"
In english, I would say respectively :
"cheers" and "dear"

The first literally means 'to your health' and is said when drinking
(cheers) or as a hostess' reply to 'thanks' after a meal.
Second is a term of address to a beloved woman or just a girl you feel
warm about and is something like 'honey', 'sweetie' and the like.

meaning. Equivalent for "dear" is "milaya".
Tara Salman
nazdrovye= "to your health", when making a toast, for example
milochka= dear, darling.

'Na zdorovje' and not 'nazdrovje'.

I think 'na zdrovye' is in Polish. It can be used in the same situations
as English 'cheers' but also when somebody is sneezing (the English
counterpart is then "(God) bless you". But in my opinion both in English
and Russian it should be written as two words, not one.

In case you didn't know, "na zdravje" is Slovenian also, and means the
same as in Russian (a toast). Even Slovenian national anthem is called
"Zdravljica" - a toast (...to all well-meaning people).

'Na zdorovje' is in Russian, 'na zdrowie' is in Polish.

I think this is not completely right.
naz in russian means ours, so it means: 'our health' not your health!
I also heard vnazdrov'ye: 'to our health'
you could also say: za druzby: 'to the friendship'
Daniela López
the correct expression in russian is: na zdorovje or na sdarovje
"na" means to, nothing with your or our, and "zdarovje" means health.
The exactly expression for "to your health" is "za wasche zdarovje".

** Didn't get the first part of this but "na" is the word (meaning
at/on/to and not "nash" meaning our. Izvinite!

This is definitely right:
"Na zdrowie!" ("Na zdrov'ye") is in Polish.
'na' prep. = to, on, at, in, into, towards, for, by,
away, against, like, with, from, of, per
'zdrowie' (w=v) n. = health

the word for "ours" in russian is not naz but nash as in nazh dom- our
house. The phrase our health is then nashe zdorovje. The phrase to
friendship is za druzhbu. " to our health" is za nashe zdorovje

nazdrovje--or however you spell it...
"na" in russian means "to"
"zdrovye" in russian means "health"
so literaly, it means "to your health", used mostly when making a toast.
not to be confused with "pozdrovye"--which means "bless you" when you
sneeze in russian

Moscow that 'na zdorovye' is only used in the second of the above
meanings. The first meaning was brought into Russia by foreigners,
probably under Polish influence. In fact I know Russians who already
teach foreigners to use this phrase meaning 'cheers'. But I am still
convinced that this is not correct Russian

The russian word for "health" is "zdarovye"
or "zdravye" not "zdrovye"

You really ought to stick to your native Dutch/Polish or whatever other
foreign tongues of yours and refrain from posting advice on Russian.
"Na zdorovye" means "you are welcome" or "enjoy" and is a response to
someone who says "thank you" receiving food or drink.
When toasting, Russians may say "za (Vashe, tvoyo) zdorovye" ("your
health").
The original question in this thread quoted some silly gibberish the
Americans invented for home consumption. Just like any Hollywood film
pretending to portray Russians, it has nothing to do with real Russians,
but, rather, with... well, you know the kind.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sergei,
Thank you for your input. I believe mine was the original posting, and
believe me it was well meant. I read the phrase in a novel and wanted
to check what the meaning was, and the correct form. You seem rather
upset by this discussion, and I apologize.
Yes, I do know the Hollywood kind ... compare it to _Clueless_. I was
an American teenager once, and the "typical" (though tongue-in-cheek)
youth portrayed were completely foreign to me. :)
Thanks again, (Spassiba ?)

What are you thanking him for?
For his boorish 'ad hominem' attacks,
misleading people and explaining locutions
he doesn't understand, or belief that everything which
sounds _similar_ to a Russian expression must
be necessarily of Russian origin and mean whatever
he thinks it does?
