Yalla. Origins

edit

Just posing a question: “Yalla” is thought to come from the Arabic phrase “Ya Allah” which references the word for GOD, is this correct? If this is so, why is “yalla” used for “let’s go”.

Is it even remotely possible that “Yalla” (Let’s go) derived from the French word “Alle’” that you hear as encouragement for movement?

And isn’t “Yalla” used in Turkey and Iran?

Just questions. 72.73.87.253 (talk) 01:01, 1 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
