Usage notes
When used as a general exclamation of honor, as in “Vive la France!” it is usually translated by “long live” in English. Cognate to Spanish (and Italian and Portuguese) viva, of identical usage. Note that in modern French "vivent" is no longer used for the third person plural imperative; e.g. Vive les vacances (Yay for vacations)
