vas-y!去吧

Go Ahead! Used to encourage someone (pronounced vah-zee)

"face to face [with]" : in comparison with or in relation to; opposed to. From "vis" (conjugated form of "voir", to see). In French, it's also a real estate vocabulary word meaning that your windows and your neighbours' are within sighting distance (more precisely, that you can see inside of their home).

vive [...]! 萬萬歲

"Long live...!"; lit. "Live"; as in "Vive la France!", "Vive la Rpublique!", “Vive la Rsistance!”, "Vive le Canada!", or "Vive le Qubec libre!"

Unlike "viva" (Spanish) or "vivat" (Latin), it cannot be used as such, it needs a complement.
