How do you say cheers in Swaheli?

There isn't a direct equivalent to "cheers" in Swahili for a toast.

However, here are some ways to express the sentiment of "cheers" in Swahili:

* "Afya!" - This means "health!" and is a common way to raise a glass in Swahili.

* "Kwaheri!" - While this literally means "goodbye," it can be used as a toast in a similar way to "cheers."

* "Haya!" - This is a more general expression of agreement or encouragement, and can also be used as a toast.

* "Naomba!" - This means "I request" and is used to politely ask for something, like a drink. You could say "Naomba kinywaji!" (I request a drink!) to raise a toast.

Ultimately, the best way to say "cheers" in Swahili will depend on the context and the specific situation.
