Haiya is the opposite of fuiyoh and is the MSG of words. It is used when expressing extreme disappointment, frustration, etc. The word went from only being popular in middle-aged English speaking Asian groups to being appreciated by a wide range of people because of recent viral videos on Youtube by Uncle Roger, a persona created by an Malaysian British comedian, Nigel Ng.

"Everybody should use the word haiya to expand your vocabulary, no matter if you're asian, white, black, or green." -- Uncle Roger, 2020
"Haiya green again today, so sad."

Uncle Roger's catchprase.
In Mandarin it is "āi yā" which means "Oh No!"
But Uncle Roger is Hokkien Chinese.

So In Hokkien Chinese, "hāi" means fucked up. "ah" is when something is done.
So the phrase "Haiyaa" means you did something fucked up.

It's not racist for non-Asian folks to say Haiyaa.
"Haiyaa is the MSG of words, it contain all the flavor..." "Your bus comes late, Haiyaa." "Your baby born with three arm, Haiyaa."

hadiya is the type of girl that wouldnt care if someone talked about her. She is often nice but DONT get on her bad side because she will hurt you in some type of shape or form.If you have her as a girlfriend you are the luckiest boy ever!She is shy sometimes but she will shower you with love and she will always be supportive of your choices and she will always love you even if she says she doesnt she really does.But if your friends with hadiya she is the best of them all she is funny,nice,smart,and gives the best advice she will be honest with you and will NEVER talk about you behind your back.If she is in your life keep her there.
