Slainte (pronounced “slawn-cha”) is an expression often used in the pub as one downs some great whiskey. It is comparable to tapping glasses and saying “Cheers” to a drinking partner in the U.S. The expression is used in other ways as well…one finds it on garden stones, clothing, etc. Follow this link to hear it pronounced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZMBvqosoGI
