Hello Alan, Mister Micawber, Beeesneees, Mordant, Esl_Expert and other native English speakers,

----------------------------------------------
viva
--used to show that you support or approve of someone or something
Example: Viva America!
Viva comes from Italian and Spanish, where it means “long live.”
----------------------------------------------

Is "viva" an obsolete term?

It's not obsolete, though it isn't heard often.
