Hai Cinco!

"High Five" is universal...since Borat.

Na, that's apparently the literal translation, but in context that's not right.

Yea, on my holiday the other week I kept shouting this at the locals with my hand ready for some high five loving and kept getting looked at like I had 2 heads. At the end of the week I finally asked someone if what I was saying was correct and they said.... "No!"

Oh, here's why I came to this conclusion:

It isn't a popular expression though, it seems.

Oh, that's because this is a bizarre expression in other languages. I still remember the first time someone said "high five" to me in Portuguese, and waited for me to do it... I was completely puzzled at first, and I instinctively thought I was supposed to clap (?) his hand because he was there, raising his arm, and waiting for me to do something

First of all me and my friend kept saying 'Aribo (sp?) Cinco' but then we saw a high voltage sign at our hotel with the word 'Alto' so we opted for that instead. What does Aribo mean? I have no idea how it's spelt, but that's how it sounds like when you say it.

It's spelt "arriba" and its meaning is a bit complicated because although "above" is the direct translation, it's used in many different contexts:

quote:
arriba adv 1. (posici�n) above; (en una casa) upstairs; m�s ~ higher up; te espero ~ I'll wait for you upstairs; lo ~ mencionado the aforementioned; la habitaci�n de ~ (de encima) the room above; el piso de ~ (el �ltimo) the top floor; de ~ abajo from top to bottom; (persona) from head to foot; ensuciarse de ~ abajo to get dirty from head to foot [o toe;] leer un libro de ~ abajo to read a book from cover to cover; �manos ~! hands up! 2. (direcci�n) up, upwards; r�o ~ upstream; �~! get up! 3. (cantidad) tener de 60 a�os para ~ to be over 60; precios de 100 euros para ~ prices from 100 euros upwards 4. CSur de ~ (gratis) free (of charge); (sin merecerlo) for no reason
