what does hurra mean exactly?

Question

This is my first question in SpanishDict.com.

I was learning some expressions about rewarding comments. I thought 'hurra' meant 'hurray', but according to the dictionary, 'viva' means 'hurray .'

Could you help, please?

!Gracias¡

Answer 1

"Hurra" is an abreviation of "hooray" or "hurray" which is an interjección of encouragement

hooray (for sb/sth) = ¡viva! (algn/algo)

A "Hooray Henry" is a kind of derogatory slang for a "toff"

"Hurra(r)" is how the "upper classes" pronounced Hooray
