A lo nuestro

Ya is usually translated as “already,” but it can mean several different things. If someone wants to say I’m on my way, they’d use Ya voy. If someone asks if you’re ready, you can answer ya (“just a minute”) or   todavía no (“not yet”). If you’re being lectured and you’re tired of listening, you might say ¡Ya, ya! (“All right, already!”) or ¡Basta ya! (“Enough!”)
