My young friend wrote this to me. Would someone be kind enough to explain the
やな for me?

question
conjugations slang
Understanding ありやな
`や` is the copula in Kansai dialect. Its counterpart in standard Japanese is
`だ`. `な` is a sentence final particle expecting agreement (to oneself or to
other person). It is similar to `ね` except that it is masculine.

**Added upon Flaw's suggestion** : `あり` used here is a slang term meaning "an
acceptable idea", "can be dealt with", or "cool". Another slang expression
with a similar meaning is `いける`. The slang `なし` is the negation of `あり`. For
usages of these, you can do a search with phrases like `ありかなしか`.
