ANSWERS

1. Banzai! The dirctionary definition tells us that Banzai! (with the exclamation mark) means "A cry or cheer of enthusiasm, or to celebrate victory". The phrase literally translates as "ten thousand years". "Ten thousand" in Chinese numerals, which is a separate unit just like "hundred" and "thousand" are in English, has a connotation of infinity, innumerability, similar to the Greek myriad. It is often translated into English as "Long live!" although it has connotations that are not present in the English phrase.
