Yalla
Yalla, with variants Yallah and Yala, is a common expression denoting "come on", "let's get going", and mostly meaning "hurry up" in the Arabic language. It comes from and is an abbreviation of classical (traditional) Arabic words "Ya Allah" (in Arabic يا ألله) literally meaning "O God". The phrase is also extremely common in Israel and in the Hebrew language as a form of slang (Hebrew: יאללה).
