"يَلّا إِلى ٱلْلِّقاء!"

Translation: Alright, until next time!

[obado]

Surely اللقاء can be translated as "see you later"?

[Radika95]

It means 'until (implied: our next) meeting'. See you later works as well

[arabmouni]

The best way to say "see you later" would be "min shoof-ak/ik (m/f)". (Levantine dialect anyway)

[Wafa614627]

اللقاء is meeting

[Wafa614627]

الى اللقاء is see you later

[BigsBot]

I feel like OK and alright have essentially the same meaning in this context in English

[_FiX_]

what is this first word, completely new to me...

is this yalla? (used by Levantines and Egyptians)?

[jss.___]

Yalla, yalla is used to hurry somebody (come on!).

[_FiX_]

so it is the dialectical yalla... because the sentence makes no sense in standard Arabic

[FrenchLearnee]

Yes that is true... It depends on the tone and context. You can also say yallah surah... Fast...

[wendyg144945]

it is all right not alright!!!

[gsp732649]

why?

[KatieC993112]

You can't ask Why? of a language

[Sikeryali]

For your kind information, alright and all right, both mean OK.

[chakerISLAM]

"يلا" ليست بلفظ عربي ، هي لفظ من اللهجات العامية المشرقية ، لذا ، يرجى تغييرها لأن دمج الفصحى بالعامية ليس امرا جيدا
يرجى وضع ملاحظتنا بعين الاعتبار لئلا نصبح في مشكل عويص

[ZachXP]

For those of us who are not this advanced yet. Google translates this comment as: " 'Yalla' is not an Arabic word, it is a word from the oriental colloquial dialects, therefore, please change it because merging Al-Fusha with colloquial language is not a good thing."

[gsp732649]

mutarrijim minfudhlak

[wendyg144945]

all right not alright

[Richard363464]

So, "OK, till the next time" is wrong! You have to laugh at this site!!!

[ConchiCastillo]

'All right, till later' is also fine. Please include it.

[PearsonF]

I thought Yalla meant more "hurry up" or "come on" rather than "alright". Could someone please advise?

[FrenchLearnee]

It depends on the context. Yallah surah... Means hurry up or fast. Yalla bye is also used. Yalla illal lika is also for ok good bye...

[Richard363464]

so this is wrong: "all right, until the next time". Ye Gods!!!!! Alright, ghastly spelling!!

[ZachXP]

Would "Okay, till next time" also be correct?

[FrenchLearnee]

It also means ok, bye...

[Wafa614627]

يلا is not a classic word
Better to be حسناً

[AreejShuar]

No for يلا
Yes for حسنًا

[KatieC993112]

Yes, Google translates "liqaa2" as meeting, but its audio nunates the ending. How would that be written? A diacritic over the hamza?

[RobertEddy]

"Alright" is NOT an English word. Neither is "alwrong"!

[obado]

It's in the Oxford dictionary - but what do they know? Mark Twain used it - but what did he know?
