Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "BYAH" + "neh" (as in "net")/

Meaning

A favor, a kind act, or help given at exactly the right moment. In Mexico, asking for an 'aliviane' is asking someone to come through for you, a ride to the airport, covering for you at work, lending you money when you're short. When someone gives you an aliviane, you remember it.

Examples

Do me a favor and take me to the airport tomorrow.

Thank you, that was a huge help at exactly the right moment.

Regional synonyms

A huge, absurdly large amount of something. It's a vulgar Mexican expression that intensifies any quantity, packing more punch than 'a ton' or 'a ton of' something.
