What is message in objective-c?

Messages in Objective-C are akin to method calls in C++.
In Objective-C, you don't call a method, you send a message.

If you're at that level of understanding/bemusement, then I'd recommend a read of Apple's excellent "Introduction to The Objective-C Programming Language", as you really need to understand some of the basics before you get any further.
In essence, a message is effectively a method call in Objective-C. (Instead of passing arguments to a method, you "send a message".)

Is there a way I could initialize some constant in a method like -(void) viewDidLoad for my screen variables (retina, not retina etc) ?
Thx
In C and Objective-C, constants cannot be assigned at runtime because they are constant. If you are asking how to assign to an instance variable, or make that variable accessible to other classes, please update your question.

Can any one tell me why Objective-C is called a "run-time language"
Technically, it's not a runtime language-- it is, however, a runtime oriented language.
Objective-C is a runtime oriented language, which means that when it's possible it defers
decisions about what will actually be executed from compile & link time to when it's
actually executing on the runtime.
From here.

You'll want to read The Objective-C Programming Language, which you'll find in the Xcode docs.

This app is using iOS 5's built-in dictionary with UISearchBar.
I want to include this feature for my iOS app.
But, I Can't find document in developer.apple.
If you tell me about it and example code, Please.
Sadly there isn't an api for the built-in dictionary. The only thing you can use in that direction is the UITextChecker class. It seems to me, that the app you are talking about uses it too.

I want to call functions inline in Objective-C. How can I do this? I'm on iOS.
Since Objective-C is based on C, you can:
inline void myf() {int a; a=1;}
Objective-C does not support "inline" methods a la C++.
