Achoo! Atchoum! Hatschi! Etcì! Why does the same body reaction produce different sounds all over Europe? This is somewhat entertaining to note that all Europeans use a different onomatopeia to transcribe into words the simple act of sneezing. This shows the great creativity of our European languages. And all Europeans do not answer the same way when someone sneezes. Depending on how superstitious they are, some will reply “Jesus”, “God Bless You” or even “may God put a blanket over you”; others will just answer “to your health”, “health” or “be healthy” and others will just say “wealthiness”, “beauty” or “to your wishes”. The act of sneezing is even full of popular beliefs: in some Eastern European countries, sneezing during a speech is regarded as a confirmation that the speaker is saying the truth, in other European countries, the act of sneezing enable individuals to get rid of evil spirits hiding inside their body… United in diversity, we told you!
