fadaya

Enjoyment; having a blast; living it up

(fa-DAH-yah) - noun/verb, vibes slang. Register & nuance: Urban, playful, aspirational. Can be celebratory ("we're fadaya tonight") or slightly salty when said from the sidelines ("they're fadaya while we hustle"). Origins (folk etymology): likely evolved from fara ("to enjoy"), with fadaya acting as an intensified, leveled-up version, more than enjoying, it's enjoying loudly.
