fadaya
/phonetic/1.
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.
"Tinokuwonayi hedu vamwe venyu muchifadaya isu tichi hustla"
Translation: "We can see some of you having a blast whilst we are on the grind hustling"
Etymology
Contemporary Zimbabwean slang. First documented in urban areas.
