What does may-day mean?

Answer 1

The radio call "Mayday" is used when there is some life threatening emergency. The word is derived from the French phrase "venez m'aider" which means 'come help me'. In an emergency it is repeated three times - "Mayday Mayday Mayday" - so as to ensure the receiver of the message understands that it is an emergency situation. It's similar to S.O.S. It's an expression said by a person who is about to die (usually in a plane). It comes from the French words "m'aider", which means "help me".

Mayday! Mayday!" The word "Mayday," usually repeated three times, is a call for help, a distress call. Three of anything, such as gunshots, whistle blowing, horn honking, loud bangs, etc., signifies a call for help, especially when repeated over and over again. "Mayday" comes from the French, "M'aidez" which is pronounced almost as "mayday" and which literally means, "Help me!" (Aider is the infinitive of the French verb meaning to help, and aidez is the second person plural.)
