They're basically wishing you beauty instead of health?

  1. I've always heard them say gesundheit to me.

    EDIT: Lol.  Hey there! Yes, I have :)


  2. hey it is Wiener not Viennese well someone funny would wish gesundheit (health) for the first sneeze and schoenheit (beauty) for the second ...weisheit ....(smartness)for the third... and so on...well happy sneezing!amen!

  3. It's kind of a joke.

    When someone is sneezing some people say

    "Schönheit" followed by "weil g'sund bist eh"

    = "Beauty! As you are healthy anyway." Used amongst friends.
