We say "odaijini" when someone sneezes.

It literally means take care of yourself and is pronounced like "oh die gee knee".

I really don't hear anyone said something when somebody sneezes...but there must be other persons who says something ..
this is something new to me too..but would like to share what was this all about on the website...

Once being praised ('ichi homerare'),
Twice being detested ('ni nikumare'),
Three times being admired ('san horerare'),
And four times, you are going to catch a cold ('shi kaze o hiku')."
When someone blows nose or cough..yes..they would say ODAIJINI...
