Huat ah! is a popular expression in Singapore and Malaysia, originating from the Hokkien dialect. It is often shouted or exclaimed in celebrations, especially during auspicious events like the Lunar New Year.

Meaning:

  • Literal Translation: "Huat" (发) means "prosper" or "to strike it rich" in Hokkien, while "ah" is an exclamation used for emphasis. Together, "Huat ah!" roughly translates to "Prosperity, ah!" or "Let’s prosper!"

  • Symbolism: It's a wish or expression of good luck, success, or wealth. People say it to invoke prosperity and abundance.

Usage:

  1. During Lunar New Year:

    • People exclaim "Huat ah!" when tossing yusheng (prosperity toss) to symbolize attracting good fortune.
  2. At Gambling Events:

    • Often used when betting or playing games of chance, like mahjong, to bring in good luck.
  3. In Everyday Life:
