Ya Ali is mostly used as a request for strength in the phrase Ya Ali Madad ( یا علی مدد, Ali, help!) because he is the Imamah Imam in Shia Islam. It is used as well with derogatory and abusive words in Arabic, for example in Yā kadhdhāb ( یا کذاب) "O Liar". The word Yā alone is of no religious significance. Someone named Zaid will be addressed in Arabic as Yā Zaid. It is a common prefix used by Arabs to call each other. Literally, the word Yā means O (as in a call to someone).
