What is hurrah in French?

There isn't a direct, single-word translation for "hurrah" in French. However, here are some options depending on the context:

For a general cheer:

* Vive! - This is the most common and direct translation, meaning "long live!". It's used to express enthusiasm and support, similar to "hurrah".

* Bravo! - This is a more general expression of approval and appreciation, meaning "well done!".

* Hourra! - This is a French borrowing from English "hurrah", but it's not very common.

For a specific situation:

* Hip, hip, hourra! - This is a playful and festive phrase used to express excitement, similar to the English "hip hip hooray!".

* Olé! - This is used in a more celebratory context, particularly in Spain, and can be translated as "hurray" for something impressive.

Example:

The best option depends on the specific situation and the desired level of formality.
