Talk:Opa (expression)

Tatar language speakers (Kazan Tatar) may say 'абау!' (abau!) a word of surprise or getting frightened a little bit. It looks similar to 'opa'.--A.Khamidullin (talk) 20:02, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Opa (Greek expression) → Opa (expression) – in the article, it says that this expression is used in Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Malta, Cyprus, Turkey, Bulgaria, Belarus, Ukraine, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, Albania, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia as well as many Middle Eastern countries like Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Israel, Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates and it makes sense to change it to this title Abo Yemen ✉ 14:38, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Should this page just be deleted anyway? It's poorly referenced and is basically a dictionary entry. We don't have articles for much more common expressions (in the English speaking world) like "wow" or "oh my God". WPscatter ^t/_c 16:02, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. It's also overly specific disambiguation, even if it was solely Greek, since there is no other article about an expression named "Opa". Skynxnex (talk) 14:23, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hopa

Is it possible to move the variatations like "hopa" to the beginning? As the article rename suggests, it not just a greek expression anymore.

Personally, I wondered what that word is about until I noticed the Jewish variant (Germany is not on the list of countries using "opa" but the non-generic expression "hopa" is known from historic usage). Guidod (talk) 09:17, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
