- what does “bala” mean in Arabic?

bala is said when the speaker is protesting against something .

bala zeft = i dont want this kind of zeft .

we dont say , bala da , wala da.

we say , wala da wala da = neither this nor that .

balaa' in formal Arabic means epidemic = something greatly unwanted , undesired .

this is the source of the word , bala

look bala means without but is standard so there is no real meaning , it uses to express that u are angry with something or u dont like somthing like in '' bala nela '' and '' bala zeft '' .

'' walla '' means that u dont like neither this nor that , it also standard .

there are many words in egypt without real or right meaning byt use to exprss some feelings .

i think it means " without"

bala neela = without neela

it could also mean "no need for"

bala neela = no need for neela

balla - walla equals to neither - nor

walla means another bala

I think that a Bala is a dancer but I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time

as moonrise said but it's preferred not to use it .

gud luck :D
