I always wonder if "bless you" are the right words to say to an individual who sneezes around you. I don't know if it's a Nigerian thing or it's universal. Most of the time, i just keep quiet rather than say "bless you" because i'm not comfortable using those words. I don't know if i'm the only one who thinks those words are not really suitable for that situation. Please, does anyone think like me?? Which word(s) do you consider more appropriate?? |

I usually say bless you and no, it's not just a Nigerian thing, it is said in some other parts of the world. Different countries have different responses. The Arabians would say ""Alhamdulillah," which means, "praise be to God." Hindus say, "Live!" or "Live well!, Russians say "bud zdorov" ("be healthy"  ...1 Like |

Not necessary to say anything cos if the person goes on and on sneezing, what would you keep saying? Just allow them and eventually ask, "are you alright?" 5 Likes |
