Hindi[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from Punjabi ਵਿਹਲਾ (vihlā) / ویہلا (vehlā), from Sanskrit वेल्य (vēlya, “time”). The spelling in Hindi reflects phonetic gemination following stressed syllables in Punjabi. Some urban legends suggest a relation to Tamil வேலை (vēlai, “job, labour”). Doublet of वेला (velā).

Pronunciation[edit]

  • (Delhi Hindi) IPA(key): /ʋeːl.lɑː/, [ʋeːl.läː]

Noun[edit]

वेल्ला • (vellā) m

  1. (Delhi, North India, Bombay Hindi, slang) idler, couch potato; someone who does nothing with their time
