Dia de los Muertos means "Day of the Dead". It's much similar to our Halloween and All Souls' Day. It's a time for mourning, a time to commemorate our loved ones who have passed away.
But it's celebrated mainly in Latino countries! Hope it meant well.
Gracias y buenos dias!

The words literally mean:
Dia = Day
de = of
Los = the
Muertos = Dead

Are you asking what it means literally or are you wanting to know about "The Day of the Dead?" It is a day in Mexico when we honor our loved ones who have died by taking food and small gifts to the graveside to show honor, respect, and love for the deceased. Some of the answerers are confusing the Catholic "All Saints Day," with "Dia de Los Muertos" which is celebrated only in Mexico.

Diade los muertos is a festival day mostly celebrated by spanish speaking cultures. it is a day when you show apreciation to the dead. you show them apreciation by preparing a small little alter with foods and drinks for them. i already did that yesterday for may grandpa.

"Day of the Dead". This is All Saints' Day, which falls on 1st November. It is customary in Catholic countries to visit the graves of the dear department and lay flowers on them. It is a big event in Mexico and even heathen France has a bank holiday on that day.
