Russian term or phrase: shalada
Hi all,

Can anybody help me understand the meaning of this word, "shalada" ?
It could be a dirty word.

I don't know how it is written in Kazakh, all tre vowels "A" are pronounced as in "At" or "shAmpoo".


thanks

Explanation:
There is no such word (shalada) in Kazakh. IT might be a Russian proper name or incomplete Kazakh word from the word 'shala', which means "half" or 'semi'.
