Wala ???

Salam brothers and sisters
my english isn't well, however, i hope you can help me to go on...
What's the meaning of "wala" ?
If I say "la ... wala ... ", it's the same like "neither ... nor ... "
But what's the meaning of a standalone "Wala", if I use just "wala" in one sentence without any negations like "la" befor?
Does it mean only "and-not" ?
I try to understand all possible functions of "wa + la". How much meanings does it have and on what depends the differents on?
The another question would be "La?". Some peoples say "la" has more than twenty meanings ? o mon Dieu. On what depends all this differents on?
Anyway, i hope someone can help me at least with "wala".
Salaam.
Bak'r.

Peace bro
If I understand you correctly, Wa La are too different things, Wa is called Waw El Atf and La is called La Al Nahyah
each can come sepreatly or they can come together, coming together though has nothing to do with the meaning, each stay the same,
Wa means literaly "and", which means something and someting, however in Arabic there is also another use for it which is an indication of a new sentence
La mean literaly "Not" which is denying the verb after it, i.e. prohibiting it, or warning against it
when Wa La come together, they may mean any of the following
-
denying an action AND denying another action like La Tamshy Wa La Tagri, i,e Don't walk nor run
-
a new sentence has started, Wa La Tazkor Ma Allah Asmaa Aukhra, i.e. Don't mention other names beside Allah
Peace be with you

Salam Brother.
Thank you.
The Turkish "we" is the same like Arabic "wa", the funtion is the same, it could also indicate a new sentence.
But !!
in turkish i'm not allowed to build a sentence like
" . . . and(wa) . . . and-not(wala) . . . "... , for example Sura Bakara-119
002.119 Inn arsalnka bi(a)laqqi basheeran wanaeeran wal tus-alu Aaan a-bi aljaeem(i)
as you see, there is one conjunction(AND) before WALA.
La is a negation, in turkish i can not say " ... and ... and-not ... "... neither in one sentence, nor in seperate sentences. That's the point brother.If I translate the Ayat above, I have to deform the sentence. Either I put a coma or I disjoin it with fullstop in two sentences. The turkish translation would be like this
"Biz seni(-ka), ger?ekle(bil haqqi), m?jdeleyici(basheeran) ve(wa) uyarc(natheeran) olarak g?nderdik(arsalna-). Sen(you) Cehennem(aljaheem) halkndan(ashabi) sorumlu degil/not/la-sin(are)."
That's one of the Problems. I explore since some weeks a theme in Quran, the "wala" comes across to me several times. So I thougt, may be there are multiple meanings of "wala", for this reason I opened this topic.
As far as I see that's all, thank you very much.
Salam
