Bassa and Sababa are Israeli slang terms both originating in Arabic, and they have opposite meanings.
“Bassa” is the bad feeling you get when something annoying or disappointing happened. It’s very close in meaning to the word “bummer” in English slang.
“Sababa” means “great!”, and is also used to describe feeling great or happy, feeling “sababa”.
Both words usually describe a casual, light feeling, but can also imply a stronger feeling, depending on context.
There is a Hebrew saying “Lakahat et ha-bassa be-sababa”, which literally translates as – to take the bad stuff (the bassa) positively (with sababa). To stay positive even when bad things happen.
Netta seeks to send a message to everyone who suffers from bullying or other bad stuff – to ignore the bad stuff, pick themselves up and just carry on. Feeling “bassa”? Try to go “sababa”. Sababa is the answer.

Get the sabued mug.She has brown hair and brown eyes. She’s the sexiest girl around. She fun to hang with, loves nature, and is a crazy outgoing friend. She is determined to see the best in everything yet she knows everything is crumbling to pieces. She hides behind a smile but can give the best advice. Don’t lose her as a friend or girlfriend because she depends on you, even if she doesn’t show it. She has a perfect smile and her laugh makes you laugh. She has no fears and tries to do the impossible. Even if she fails, she’ll get back onto her feet and try again because she doesn’t quit.
