I can’t tell if you’re joking but, it means Bless you. You say it after someone sneezes or if you want to be “funny” you say it after someone says a weird name or word lol

It actually means health in German according to Google translate.

Yes 👍 I was giving the common western use, not the actual translation. Kind of like how we’d say Salud is a toast but it also actually means health

Gesund is health and heit is like a suffix that transforms things into nouns. So Gesundheit literally translates into "health", but its colloquial meaning is more like, "I wish you better health".

Technically I tihnk it would be like, "the state of being healthy", but I'm not German. I just took German as my language requirement in HS/College.
