You would need to take care of that when you go to display those strings in your UI. So, how are you showing these values on the screen?
P.S. You may want to review that line for syntax errors. It should, at least, be generating warnings during compile.

Then the line you have in your code is not the same as the one you provided. It's always a good idea to paste the actual code in order to reduce confusion.
By default, for a non-customized table cell, I believe the textLabel is shown in bold.
It's always best to design your tableview data model so it contains the info needed for display so that there's a minimum of special-case code. Obviously a simple list of strings isn't enough to describe your data. You need a data object for each row. And in that data object you can put a font or you can put a flag that indicates bold/not bold. Then in your cellForRowAtIndexPath you check that value and make the label bold or not bold.
As a start I'd use an array of dictionaries. For each row dictionary I'd add the title and a boolean flag that indicates bold/not bold.

Wikipedia definition for make out. I seriously don't think this is what you mean...
Perhaps you mean emphasise?
Not quite sure what the translation of that is into English but I'll give you some psuedo code.
Code:
// viewDidLoad
// build the data model
NSMutableArray* rowArray = ;
self.rowArray = rowArray;
NSDictionary* rowDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: @"cars", kTitleKey, [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], kBoldFontKey, nil];
[rowArray addObject:rowDictionary];
rowDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: @"balls", kTitleKey, [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], kBoldFontKey, nil];
[rowArray addObject:rowDictionary];
// cellForRowAtIndexPath
// display the model object for this row
NSDictionary* rowDictionary = [self.rowArray objectAtIndex:row];
cell.titleLabel.text = [rowDictionary objectForKey:kTitleKey];
if ([[rowDictionary objectForKey:kBoldFontKey] boolValue])
cell.titleLabel.font = some bold font;
else
cell.titleLabel.font = some non-bold font;
