Whereas in Bengali it means "black", and in Swahili it's a kind of wild cat.

Kala also means performing art in Sanskrit (and Hindi and Bengali afaik)

:)

depends on how you say it, if pronounced kla then it's art if pronounced kala then it means black. (Hindi)

If art it's pronounced more like kuh-LAA

If black it's kalaa

If time it's kaa-La

And in Swedish, it's the plural positive of kal, which means bald.

Well, it means "well". Like, "well done". Or, "good <things>", plural.

Interestingly, in Turkish it means "until".
