Some words of Finnish

Hey everyone! I'm new here! I tried to find a place to ask this question but "Culture" sounded appropriate.

I'm writting some stuff for a Course in Finland I want to apply and I need to now if there are any Finnish words which might have the same meaning as "Cheers". If possible 3 synonyms. I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

Hölkyn kölkyn

Irregularly, some years ago, I remember someone toasting "to a bad condition", "huono kunto"
"maljanne", but I never get invited to those kinds of parties.

"Cheers" in what context?

Well, yes... obviously the toast "cheers", but in Brittish English it seems to be used as a reply to almost anything. A slight overstatement, but at least for thanks and goodbye, and a lot of other cases that leave me confused. (See definition nr 2 here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cheers)
