SURVIVAL

MALTESE
By
Grazio Falzon

MERHBA! WELCOME!
This SURVIVAL MALTESE is intended for pleasure, especially to those planning a trip to the
Maltese islands. Being able to speak even a few words will guarantee an appreciative and warm
response.
I suggest that you follow the initial sequence of this Survival Maltese, esp. in regards to
pronunciation and basic expressions. This gives you not only a minimum vocabulary, but also
helps you get used to pronouncing the language. The phonetic transcription enables you to
pronounce every word.
The imitated pronunciation should be read as if it were General American English. Of course,
the sounds of any two languages are never exactly identical; but if you follow the indications
provided here, you'll be able to read my transcriptions in such a way as to make yourself
understood.
I tested out my transcription method on my California wife; she could pronounce perfect
Maltese by reading off my transcriptions.
I am deeply appreciative to linguist Bjarne Skov (University of Oslo, Norway) and Hector
Barca (Madrid Spain) for their invaluable feedback.
I hope you have as much fun learning some basic Maltese as I had working on this project.

THE ALPHABET --------

LETTER APPROXIMATE PRONUNCIATION SYMBOL

EXAMPLES
------ ------------------------- ------ --------

A short, like 'u' in 'shut' a raba

long, like 'a' in 'far' a: sala

B like Eng. b b blu

C like ch in 'church' ch coff

D like Eng. d d demm

E short, as e in 'shed' e dell

long, as ai in 'hair' e: gelu

F like Eng. f f frott

G like j in 'join' j gbejna

G like g in 'great' g gardell

H silent within a word; fehem

pronounced like h in hen

when at the end of a word h fih

H like h in 'house' h hamsa

I short, as i in 'fit' i fitt

long, as ee in 'jeep' i: ilu

J like y in 'yes' y jannar

K like k in 'kit' k kelma

L like l in 'life' l landa

M as in Eng. m mans

N as in Eng. n nisel

O short, like o in got o bott

long, like aw in law o: sod

GH mostly silent (*) boghod

P as in Eng. p patata

Q glottal plosive sound ' dqiq

produced by the closure of
the vocal chords followed
by their sudden separation
 R trilled like Scottish r r marsus

S like s in 'sea' s sinjur

T like t in French 'tante' t tfajla

U short, like u in 'full' u pulptu

long, like oo in 'fool' u: hut

V as in Eng. v iva

W like w in 'war' w werwer

X like sh in 'sheep' sh xadina

Z voiced, like z in 'fuzz' z zunzan

Z unvoiced, like ts in 'hats' ts pinzell

(*) 'GH' is regarded as a single letter in Maltese. When it precedes or

follows any one of the vowels 'a', 'e', 'o' it prolongs the sound of the
vowel. In my phonetic transcription this is shown by : after the
vowel concerned.

When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'i' it takes the sound of 'ay' in the
English word 'bay'. When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'u' it takes the
sound of 'ou' in the English word 'soul'.

When 'GH' is the final letter in a word, it is pronounced as a soft aspirate

sound like 'h' in the English word 'hair'.

The phonetic transcription will show the correct variation in pronunciation.

N.B.(1) General rules governing the length of vowels:

-- All vowels at the end of a word are short and unstressed.

-- All vowels are long when they are stressed and are followed
by one consonant. They are short when followed by more than
one consonant.

-- A long vowel becomes shorter when the word in which it occurs

is followed by a word beginning with a consonant and carrying
the main stress. E.g. dar sabiha.

N.B.(2) My phonetic transcription will also show the differences in

pronunciation of 'g' in 'gobon' and 'g' in 'gidba', 'z' in 'zija' and 'z'
in 'zarbun', and between silent and pronounced 'h'.

N.B.(3) Doubled consonants are to be lengthened phonetically at the

beginning of a word or inside it. Thus ll in 'falla' must be pronounced
not with one l as in English 'fuller' but with the first l closing
the first syllable and with the second l opening the second syllable.
Approximate phonetic analogy in English would be the pronunciation of
"full life".

THE NEGATIVE

The negative "not" in a statement is translated in Maltese by the

particle "ma" ("m" before a vowel, "h" or "gh") used before a verb
in the present or perfect, to which is appended the particle "x" (short
for xejn = nothing).

A verb ending in "a" changes the vowel to "iex" in the negative.

Affirmative Negative

kiel ma kielx (he didnt eat)

hija mhijiex (she isnt)
ghandi mghandix (I dont have)
dhalt ma dhaltx (I didnt go in)
kitbitlu ma kitbitlux (she didnt write to him)
gabhuli ma gabhulix (he didnt bring it to me)
hedded mheddidx (he didnt threaten)

Following is the conjugation of the verbs to be and to have in the

affirmative and negative forms in the Present tense.

Singular: jiena I am miniex I am not

inti you are mintix you are not
huwa he is mhuwiex he is not
hija she is mhijiex she is not

Plural: ahna we are mahniex we are not

Singular: ghandi I have mghandix I dont have

ghandek you have mghandekx you dont have
ghanduhe has mghandux he doesnt have
 ghandha she has mghandhiex she doesnt have

Plural: ghandna we have mghandniex we dont have

ghandkom you have mghandkomx you dont have
ghandhom they have mghandhomx they dont have

THE CONDITIONAL

In Maltese the conditional (expressed in English by would / should +

verb) is conveyed by "kieku" (if) or "jekk" (if) followed by the Perfect
or Present forms of the verb.

The conditional is used to express:

a) what would occur under certain present or future conditions.

Jekk titbissmilha, tkellmek.

(If you smile at her, she would speak to you).

Kieku nirbah il-lotterija, nixtri villa.

(If I win the lottery, I would buy a villa).

b) what would have occurred if certain conditions had taken place.

Kieku stidintna, konna nigu.

(If you had invited us, we would have come).

Il-partit ma kienx jirbah kieku ma kellux lider qawwi.

(The party wouldnt have won had it not a strong leader).

THE FUTURE TENSE

The conjugation of the verbs "to be" and "to have" is as follows:

(jien) inkun (I shall be) (jien) ikolli (I shall have)

(int) tkun (you will be) (int) ikollok (you will have)
(hu) jkun (he will be) (hu) jkollu (he will have)
(hi) tkun (she will be) (hi) jkollha (she will have)

(ahna) nkunu (we shall be) (ahna) jkollna (we shall have)
(intom) tkunu (you will be) (intom) ikollkom (you will have)
 (huma) jkunu (they will be) (huma) jkollhom (they will have)

In Maltese, the Present tense conveys also the future. There are various
particles and verbs which can combine with the Present Tense to express
different nuances to a future idea.

a) "Ser", abbreviated for "sejjer" (m), "sejra" (f), "sejrin"

(pl) going, expresses an action that is going to take place.

Il-gimgha d-diehla sejrin niccelebraw l-anniversarju

taghna.
(Next week we are going to celebrate our anniversary.)

Xser taghmel il-lejla?

(What will you be doing this evening?)

b) "Ghad" expresses a future action, event or situation which

may take place.

Ghad jigi zmien meta jiddispjacik.

(A time will come when you will be sorry.)

Ma niskantax jekk ghad taghmel il-borra.

(I wont be surprised if it may still snow.)

c) "Ha" indicates a deliberate future action.

Iddecidew li ha jahdmu flimkien.

(They decided they will be working together.)

Ghada ha nara t-tabib tieghi.

(Tomorrow Im going to see my doctor.)

d) The verb "ikollu" etc. followed by a conjugated verb in the

Present expresses an idea of obligation.

Ikollna nirrisolvu din il-krizi.

(We will have to resolve this crisis.)

Ser ikolli nixtri karozza ohra.

(Im going to have to buy another car.)

e) The verb "ikun" etc. followed by a conjugated verb in the

Present expresses an action expected to take place
concurrently with an another action.

Meta tigi nkun nahdem fuq il-kompjuter.

(I'll be working on the computer when you come.)
 Liema belt se tkunu zzuru meta ahna nkunu Parigi?
(Which city will you be visiting when we're in Paris?)

Il-Lingwa Maltija
IL-LINGWA MALTIJA (The Maltese Language, la lingua Maltese)
A translation of the text in Italian, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese is available on request.
The Maltese, (including me), speak an ancient interesting language. The language goes back since
the beginning of the Maltese history, including the Punic Times. St. Luke, the evangelist refers to
Maltese as Barbarians, (they do not speak Latin or Greek) (see Acts of the Apostles, Chap28). This
shows that during Roman times the Maltese spoke a Punic dialect, which derived from the
Phoenicians. v In the end of the 9 century AD the Arabs conquered a large part of the Mediterranean,
including Malta, and the changed the structure of Maltese-Punic Language. Until the end of the rule
of the Arabs the language was purely Semitic. In 1091 when Count Roger came to Malta words of
Romantic origins mainly Sicilian, where being used in Malta. Later on the Italian words where being
used. This made a change in the Maltese language. Today the Maltese language has a Semitic
structure with Romantic influences. You can also find Anglo-Saxon words, and Modern English.
Some words also derive from French and Spanish (the latter rarely used.).
Some important Maltese words:-
Good Morning - IL-Ghodwa it-Tajba Good Night - Il-Lejl it-Tajjeb. Good Day - Il-Gurnata it-Tajba
Good Luck - Nixtieqlek il-Fortuna. Fork - Furketta Knife - Sikkina Spoon - Imgharfa Tea spoon -
Kuccarina the British - Brittanici meat - laham Laden - kuccarun dish - dixx oscillating fan - river -
xmara sea - bahar rain - xita
Even the Names are spelt different in Maltese:- i.e. George - Gorg Paul - Pawlu John - Gwanni
UPDATED: JULY 1999
The Maltese Language
The official languages of Malta are Maltese and English. Maltese (Malti) is a unique language with
many words borrowed from the languages of the various countries that once occupied Malta. The
Maltese language is the only Semetic tongue officially written in the Latin alphabet. It is a modern
Arabic vernacular closely related to the western Arabic dialects. In its phonetics, morphology, syntax
and vocabulary it shows the strong influence of an earlier, later and continuing Sicilian (Latin) from
of speech. There are 30 letters in the Maltese alphabet. The letter "y" is not part of the Maltese
alphabet but the alphabet includes five special letters:
a pronounced as o in come
b pronounced be as in bell
c hard c as in cat
c pronounced ch as in cherry *
d pronounced de as in devil
e pronounced e as in fell
f pronounced f as in fall
g hard g as in gun
g pronounced j as in jam *
gh unsounded aspirated glottic
h silent except at end of words when it is aspirated
h aspirated h with a guttural sound like gh in "Ugh!" **
i pronounced i as in till
j pronounced ye as in yellow
k pronounced ke as in kettle
l pronounced l as in late
m pronounced m as in male
n pronounced n as in nose
o pronounced o as in pot
p pronounced pe as in pen
q compared to the cockney sound of the final letter in the English word "that"
r pronounced r as in rain
s pronounced se as in set
t pronounced te as in tell
u pronounced u as in pull
v pronounced ve as in vessel
w pronounced we as in well
x pronounced sh as in shepherd
z pronounced ze as in zebra
z pronounced ts as in nuts *
* these letters are written with a period on top of the letter.
** this letter is written with a horizontal line running through the stem of the letter.
A sampling of the Maltese language follows:
Yes/Iva (as in diva)
No/Le (as in lethargy)
Thank you very much/Grazzi hafna (grats-tsii haff-na)
Good-bye or cheers/Sahha (sah-ha)
Merry Christmas/Il-Milied it-tajjeb
Happy New Year/Is-Sena t-tajba
Please/ Jekk joghgbok (yek-yooj-bok)
Good night/Il-lejl it-tajjeb (ill-layl it-ta-yep)

BASIC
ENGLISH-MALTESE
DICTIONARY
Compiled by

Grazio Falzon
Nouns are followed by the abbreviations (m) for masculine, (f) for feminine, or (pl) for plural.
Adjectives are entered in their masculine form. Since the Maltese verb-system has no Infinitive
form, the entry for verbs is the root-word for the 3rd person masculine singular of the Perfect
tense.
Where English and American orthography differ, I have selected the American spelling.

(*) 'GH' is regarded as a single letter in Maltese. When it precedes or

follows any one of the vowels 'a', 'e', 'o' it prolongs the sound of the

vowel. In my phonetic transcription this is shown by : after the

vowel concerned.

When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'i' it takes the sound of 'ay' in the

English word 'bay'. When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'u' it takes the

sound of 'ou' in the English word 'soul'.

When 'GH' is the final letter in a word, it is pronounced as a soft

aspirate sound like 'h' in the English word 'hair'.

The phonetic transcription will show the correct variation in

pronunciation.

N.B.(1) General rules governing the length of vowels:

-- All vowels at the end of a word are short and unstressed.

-- All vowels are long when they are stressed and are followed

by one consonant. They are short when followed by more than

 one consonant.

-- A long vowel becomes shorter when the word in which it occurs

is followed by a word beginning with a consonant and carrying

the main stress. E.g. dar sabiha.

N.B.(2) My phonetic transcription will also show the differences in

pronunciation of 'g' in 'gobon' and 'g' in 'gidba', 'z' in 'zija' and 'z'

in 'zarbun', and between silent and pronounced 'h'.

The symbol 's/h' indicates that 's' and 'h' are to be pronounced

separately, as in the English word 'mishap'

N.B.(3) Doubled consonants are to be lengthened phonetically at the

beginning of a word or inside it. Thus ll in 'falla' must be pronounced

not with one l as in English 'fuller' but with the first l closing

the first syllable and with the second l opening the second syllable.

Approximate phonetic analogy in English would be the pronunciation of

"full life".

N.B.(4) Pronunciations are given inside parentheses. A primary, or strong,

stress is indicated by an apostrophe immediately following the syllable so

stressed.

(*) 'GH' is regarded as a single letter in Maltese. When it precedes or
follows any one of the vowels 'a', 'e', 'o' it prolongs the sound of the
vowel. In my phonetic transcription this is shown by : after the
vowel concerned.

When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'i' it takes the sound of 'ay' in the
English word 'bay'. When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'u' it takes the
sound of 'ou' in the English word 'soul'.

When 'GH' is the final letter in a word, it is pronounced as a soft

aspirate sound like 'h' in the English word 'hair'.

The phonetic transcription will show the correct variation in

pronunciation.

N.B.(1) General rules governing the length of vowels:

-- All vowels at the end of a word are short and unstressed.

-- All vowels are long when they are stressed and are followed
by one consonant. They are short when followed by more than
one consonant.

-- A long vowel becomes shorter when the word in which it occurs

is followed by a word beginning with a consonant and carrying
the main stress. E.g. dar sabiha.

N.B.(2) My phonetic transcription will also show the differences in

pronunciation of 'g' in 'gobon' and 'g' in 'gidba', 'z' in 'zija' and 'z'
in 'zarbun', and between silent and pronounced 'h'.

N.B.(3) Doubled consonants are to be lengthened phonetically at the

beginning of a word or inside it. Thus ll in 'falla' must be pronounced
not with one l as in English 'fuller' but with the first l closing
the first syllable and with the second l opening the second syllable.
Approximate phonetic analogy in English would be the pronunciation of
"full life".

THE ARTICLE
The definite article "the", in Maltese is "l", linked by a hyphen to the following noun or adjective.
E.g. l-orizzont (the horizon), l-isbah (the most beautiful).
The article becomes "il-" if the following word begins with a consonant. E.g. il-mera (the mirror), il-
quddiesa (the Mass), il-qamar (the moon), il-lapis (the pencil), il-habs (the prison), il-ghasfur or l-
ghasfur (the bird), il-herra or l-herra (the rudenss).
The definite article changes to match the following word in certain instances when the initial
consonant is c, d, n, r, s, t, x, z (voiced), or z E.g. ic-cirku (the circle), id-duhhan (the smoke), in-
nemel (the ants), ir-rahal (the village), is-suwed (the blacks), it-tagen (the frying pan), ix-xitan (the
devil), iz-zalza (the sauce), iz-zunzan (the bee).
PRONOUNS
PERSONAL PRONOUNS
Personal pronouns in Maltese can also function as verbs. Thus:

Singular:

Jien (or Jiena) = I; I am

Int (or Inti) = You; You are
Hu (or Huwa) = He; He is
Hi (or Hija) = She; She is

Plural:

Ahna = We; We are

Intom = You; You are
Huma = They; They are
The negative of the verbal mode of the pronoun is made by surrounding the pronoun with "ma"
before the pronoun and "x" appended to it. Thus:

ma jiniex (or miniex) I am not

mintix You are not
mhuwiex (or mhux) He is not
mhijiex (or mhix) She is not
mahniex We are not
mintomx You are not
mhumiex They are not

GENDER OF NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES

(1) Nouns and adjectives ending in a consonant or in "u" are

masculine.

glekk (coat) seklu (century)

ktieb (book) gustuz (cute)

A few exceptions: triq (street), dar (house), ruh (soul), qalb

(heart), belt (city), id (hand).

(2) Nouns and adjectives ending in "a" are feminine.

mejda (table hobza (loaf)

helwa (sweet) sabiha (beautiful)

A few exceptions: ilma (water), papa (pope), alla (god).

(3) Nouns ending in "i" are feminine.

arti (art) xorti (luck)

fidi (faith) vuci (voice)

FORMATION OF FEMININE ADJECTIVES

Generally, the feminine gender is formed by adding "a" to the masculine or "ja" if the masculine ends
in "i".

In Maltese, the adjective follows the noun it qualifies.

mara xiha (an old woman)

tfajla franciza (a French girl)
 The adjective takes the definite article when it qualifies a noun which
is preceded by a definite article.

it-tifel il-marid (the sick boy)

il-kamra n-nadifa (the clean room)

When a noun is in the singular, the qualifying ajective agrees with the
noun in gender and number. In the plural form of the adjective is the
same for both masculine and feminine genders.
N.B. The formation of the plural number in Maltese for both adjectives and nouns does not follow
uniform patterns. The reader is encouraged to learn the plural forms as he or she encounters them.
COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES
The comparative degree of adjectives is formed by prefixing "a, e, i" or "o" to the positive form of
the adjective. Following are examples of the main patterns:

qawwi (strong) aqwa (stronger)

ohxon (fat) ehxen (fatter)
fqir (poor) ifqar (poorer)
ghali (costly) oghla (costlier)

The conjunction "minn" (than) introduces the following item of

comparison.

Din id-dghajsa hi akbar minn l-ohra.

(This boat is larger than the other one).

The superlative precedes the noun it qualifies and is expressed by

prefixing the article "l-" to the comparative form of the adjective.

l-ikbar kamra (the largest room)

l-iqsar triq (the shortest road)

Some adjectives take "aktar" (more) or "izjed" (more) and "anqas"

(less) to express the comparative degree. The superlative is formed by
prefixing the definite article "l-" to "aktar', "izjed", and "anqas".

Ghawdex hu iktar awtentiku minn Malta.

(Gozo is more authentic than Malta).

Dak il-kostum hu anqas accettat fMalta.

(That custom is less accepted in Malta).

Hi l-ahjar fil-kors.
(She is the best in the course).

Dawn huma l-anqas artistici.

(These are the least artistic).

THE PLURAL
Maltese has two plural numbers:

a) the DUAL indicating two items or things in pairs.

b) the PLURAL expressing more than two items.

The DUAL number is formed by adding the suffix "-ejn" or "-ajn" to the
singular form of the noun.

darba = darbtejn (twice) gimgha = gimaghtejn (twoweeks)

jum = jumejn (two days) id = idejn (pair of hands)

The general PLURAL is formed by the suffixes: "-i", "-iet", "-ijiet",

and "-ien".

ajruplan = ajruplani (airplanes) ahbar = ahbarijiet (news)

taqsima = taqsimiet (sections) wied = widien (valleys)

Some nouns have a determinate plural (preceded by a number) and also a

collective plural form.

kelma (a word), erba kelmiet (four words), kliem (words)

tuffieha (an apple), sitt tuffihiet (six apples), tuffieh (apples)

Maltese has two categories of formations of the plural for nouns and
adjectives;

a) the external plural by suffixes

b) the internal plural formed by breaking the word internally

N.B. The student is encouraged to memorize the plural formations of the

more frequently used words. Following is a sampler of the variety of
plural patterns encountered in Maltese.

a) EXTERNAL PLURAL

Malti = Maltin (Maltese)

omm = ommijiet (mothers)
bieb = bibien (doors)
xugaman = xugamani (towels)
siggu = siggijiet (chairs)
xufier = xufiera (drivers)
cekk = cekkijiet (checks)

b) INTERNAL PLURAL

dar = djar (houses)

but = bwiet (pockets)
 ragel = rgiel (men)
rahal = rhula (villages)
ktieb = kotba (books)
targa = tarag (stairs)
sodda = sodod (beds)
gzira = gzejjer (islands

THE VERB
In Maltese, verbs do not have an infinitive form. Verb moods and tenses are constructed from a root
form which consists of the third person singular, masculine, Perfect Tense.

There are five categories of conjugations:

1) STRONG: Verbs having three or four root consonants.

KiTeB (he wrote); HaRBaT (he ruined)

2) DEFECTIVE: Verbs having a silent third radical "gh".

TaFa for TaFaGH (he threw)

3) WEAK: Verbs having a third radical semi vowel "j". QaRa for
QaRaJ (he read)

4) HOLLOW: Verbs having long "a" or "ie" (for original

etymological "awa" and "aja") between initial and final stem
consonants. DaM for DaWaM (he delayed); SaB for SaJaB (he found)

5) DOUBLED: Verbs having double third radical.

GaRR (he transported)

THE MALTESE VERB HAS THE FOLLOWING TENSES AND FUNCTIONS:

1) The PERFECT TENSE

Jien ktibt (I wrote) Ahna ktibna (we wrote)

Inti ktibt (you wrote) Intom ktibtu (you wrote)
Hija kitbet (she wrote) Huma kitbu (they wrote)
Huwa kiteb (he wrote) Huma kitbu (they wrote)

2) The IMPERFECT (PRESENT - FUTURE TENSE)

Jien nikteb (I write) Ahna niktbu (we write)

Inti tikteb (you write) Intom tiktbu (you write)
Hija tikteb (she writes) Huma jiktbu (they write)
Huwa jikteb (he writes) Huma jiktbu (they write)

3) The IMPERATIVE MOOD

 ikteb (write)(sing / you) iktbu (write)(plur / you)

4) The PRESENT PARTICIPLE

Intransitive verbs have this form. Ex: hiere[ (going out); rieqed
(sleeping); sieket (quiet).

5) The PAST PARTICIPLE

miktub (written); misruq (stolen); miksur (broken).

6) The VERBAL NOUN

kitba (writing or script); serqa (stealing or theft); telfa

(losing or loss).

DERIVED VERBS
Derived verbal stems are categorized into nine groups according to formation and meaning of verbs.

PATTERN 1

Verbs doubling a middle radical. The meaning is generally intensive,

causative or transitive.

Ex: kisser (he smashed); raqqad (he put to sleep); kabbar (he enlarged).

Conjugation:

Perfect (jien) kissirt, (int) kissirt, (hu) kisser, (hi)

kissret
(ahna) kissirna, (intom) kssirtu, (huma) kissru

Present (jien) inkisser, (int) tkisser, (hu) ikisser, (hi) tkisser

(ahna) inkissru, (intom) tkissru, (huma) ikissru

Imperative kisser (sing.), kissru (plur.)

Past Part. imkisser (m.) imkissra (f.) imkissrin (pl.)

Verb. Noun tkissir (breaking in pieces)

PATTERN 2

particle "ma" ("m" before a vowel, "h" or "gh") used before a verb

for xejn = nothing).

A verb ending in "a" changes the vowel to "iex" in the negative.

THE CONDITIONAL

In Maltese the conditional (expressed in English by would / should +

verb) is conveyed by "kieku" (if) or "jekk" (if) followed by the Perfect
or Present forms of the verb.

The conditional is used to express:

a) what would occur under certain present or future conditions.

Jekk titbissmilha, tkellmek.

(If you smile at her, she would speak to you).

Kieku nirbah il-lotterija, nixtri villa.

(If I win the lottery, I would buy a villa).

b) what would have occurred if certain conditions had taken place.

Kieku stidintna, konna nigu.

(If you had invited us, we would have come).

Il-partit ma kienx jirbah kieku ma kellux lider qawwi.

(The party wouldnt have won had it not a strong leader).

THE FUTURE TENSE

The conjugation of the verbs "to be" and "to have" is as follows:

(jien) inkun (I shall be) (jien) ikolli (I shall have)

(int) tkun (you will be) (int) ikollok (you will have)
(hu) jkun (he will be) (hu) jkollu (he will have)
(hi) tkun (she will be) (hi) jkollha (she will have)

(ahna) nkunu (we shall be) (ahna) jkollna (we shall have)
(intom) tkunu (you will be) (intom) ikollkom (you will have)
(huma) jkunu (they will be) (huma) jkollhom (they will have)

In Maltese, the Present tense conveys also the future. There are various
particles and verbs which can combine with the Present Tense to express
different nuances to a future idea.
a) "Ser", abbreviated for "sejjer" (m), "sejra" (f), "sejrin"
(pl) going, expresses an action that is going to take place.

Il-gimgha d-diehla sejrin niccelebraw l-anniversarju

taghna.
(Next week we are going to celebrate our anniversary.)

Xser taghmel il-lejla?

(What will you be doing this evening?)

b) "Ghad" expresses a future action, event or situation which

may take place.

Ghad jigi zmien meta jiddispjacik.

(A time will come when you will be sorry.)

Ma niskantax jekk ghad taghmel il-borra.

(I wont be surprised if it may still snow.)

c) "Ha" indicates a deliberate future action.

Iddecidew li ha jahdmu flimkien.

(They decided they will be working together.)

Ghada ha nara t-tabib tieghi.

concurrently with an another action.

Meta tigi nkun nahdem fuq il-kompjuter.

(I'll be working on the computer when you come.)

Liema belt se tkunu zzuru meta ahna nkunu Parigi?

(Which city will you be visiting when we're in Paris?)

SURVIVAL
MALTESE
By
Grazio Falzon

MERHBA! WELCOME!
This SURVIVAL MALTESE is intended for pleasure, especially to those planning a trip to the
Maltese islands. Being able to speak even a few words will guarantee an appreciative and warm
response.
I suggest that you follow the initial sequence of this Survival Maltese, esp. in regards to
pronunciation and basic expressions. This gives you not only a minimum vocabulary, but also helps
you get used to pronouncing the language. The phonetic transcription enables you to pronounce
every word.
The imitated pronunciation should be read as if it were General American English. Of course, the
sounds of any two languages are never exactly identical; but if you follow the indications provided
here, you'll be able to read my transcriptions in such a way as to make yourself understood.
I tested out my transcription method on my California wife; she could pronounce perfect Maltese by
reading off my transcriptions.
I am deeply appreciative to linguist Bjarne Skov (University of Oslo, Norway) and Hector Barca
(Madrid Spain) for their invaluable feedback.
I hope you have as much fun learning some basic Maltese as I had working on this project.

O short, like o in got o bott

long, like aw in law o: sod
 GH mostly silent (*) boghod

P as in Eng. p patata

Q glottal plosive sound ' dqiq

produced by the closure of

R trilled like Scottish r r marsus

S like s in 'sea' s sinjur

T like t in French 'tante' t tfajla

U short, like u in 'full' u pulptu

long, like oo in 'fool' u: hut

V as in Eng. v iva

W like w in 'war' w werwer

X like sh in 'sheep' sh xadina

Z voiced, like z in 'fuzz' z zunzan

Z unvoiced, like ts in 'hats' ts pinzell

(*) 'GH' is regarded as a single letter in Maltese. When it precedes or

follows any one of the vowels 'a', 'e', 'o' it prolongs the sound of the
vowel. In my phonetic transcription this is shown by : after the
vowel concerned.

When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'i' it takes the sound of 'ay' in the
English word 'bay'. When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'u' it takes the
sound of 'ou' in the English word 'soul'.

When 'GH' is the final letter in a word, it is pronounced as a soft aspirate

sound like 'h' in the English word 'hair'.

The phonetic transcription will show the correct variation in pronunciation.

N.B.(1) General rules governing the length of vowels:

-- All vowels at the end of a word are short and unstressed.

-- All vowels are long when they are stressed and are followed
by one consonant. They are short when followed by more than
 one consonant.

-- A long vowel becomes shorter when the word in which it occurs

is followed by a word beginning with a consonant and carrying
the main stress. E.g. dar sabiha.

N.B.(2) My phonetic transcription will also show the differences in

pronunciation of 'g' in 'gobon' and 'g' in 'gidba', 'z' in 'zija' and 'z'
in 'zarbun', and between silent and pronounced 'h'.

N.B.(3) Doubled consonants are to be lengthened phonetically at the

beginning of a word or inside it. Thus ll in 'falla' must be pronounced
not with one l as in English 'fuller' but with the first l closing
the first syllable and with the second l opening the second syllable.
Approximate phonetic analogy in English would be the pronunciation of
"full life".

Pour la plupart des linguistes, le maltais est une langue sémitique tirant ses origines de
la langue punique parlée à Carthage par les descendants des marchands phéniciens partis des côtes du
Liban actuel vers 850 avant Jésus-Christ. Ces marchands établirent un comptoir commercial sur la
route du cuivre vers l'Espagne. Ensuite, des colons grecs s'installèrent à Malte.
A l'issue des guerres puniques, Malte devint une partie de l'empire romain en 208 avant Jésus-Christ.
Les dernières inscriptions en langue punique retrouvées à Malte remontent au premier siècle après
jésus-Christ. En 58, Paul de Tarse fit naufrage sur les côtes de Malte, avant de devenir Saint Paul, et
il convertit les Maltais à la foi chrétienne.
Le substrat sémitique explique pourquoi la langue arabe trouva un acceuil favorable sur les îles
(Malte, Gozo et Comino) et facilita la conversion des habitants à l'islam au VIIIème siècle. Mais
Malte resta coupée des courants d'échange avec les autres populations arabes si bien que la langue
parlée évolua très rapidement de façon autonome et devint une branche à part des langues
sémitiques. Ce phénomène a conféré au maltais cet aspect si particulier de langue hétérogène
caractérisé par :
- une grammaire et un vocabulaire fondamental sémitiques ;
- un vocabulaire néo-latin.

LE MALTAIS
EVOLUTION HISTORIQUE

Il y a 5 000 ans avant Jésus-Christ, de nombreux vestiges mégalitihiques attestent la présence d‟une
civilisation préhistorique à Malte. Il s‟agit selon toute vraisemblance d‟émigrants venus par mer
depuis la Sicile.

Pour la plupart des linguistes, le maltais est une langue sémitique tirant ses origines de la langue
punique parlée à Carthage par les descendants des marchands phéniciens partis des côtes du Liban
actuel vers 850 avant Jésus-Christ. Ces marchands établirent un comptoir commercial sur la route du
cuivre vers l‟Espagne. Ensuite, des colons grecs s‟installèrent à Malte.

A l‟issue des guerres puniques, Malte devint une partie de l‟empire romain en 208 avant Jésus-
Christ. Les dernières inscriptions en langue punique retrouvées à Malte remontent au premier siècle
après jésus-Christ. En 58, Paul de Tarse fit naufrage sur les côtes de Malte, avant de devenir Saint
Paul, et il convertit les maltais à la foi chrétienne.

(Malte, Gozo et Comino) et facilita la conversion des habitants à l‟islam au VIIIème siècle. Mais
Malte resta coupée des courants d‟échange avec les autres populations arabes si bien que la langue

sémitiques. Ce phénomène a conféré au maltais cet aspect si particulier de langue hétérogène
caractérisé par :
- une grammaire et un vocabulaire fondamental sémitiques
- un vocabulaire néo-latin

200 ans après l‟expulsion des Arabes musulmans venus de Tunisie de Malte par le roi de Sicile, les
Maltais étaient dans l‟incapacité de comprendre les dialectes arabes maghrébins. Pourtant, depuis
870, ils avaient envahis les îles maltaises en renversant la garnison byzantine qui y étaient installées.
Mais il s‟agissait alors d‟une simple opération de razzia. Leur colonisation des îles remonte à 1048, à
partir de la Sicile. Leur domination prit officiellement fin dès 1091, mais à la faveur des rois
normands de Sicile, Hohenstaufen et Angevins, ils restèrent en position dominante jusqu‟au XIIIème
siècle. En 1091, le comte Roger le Normand, conquis Malte et l‟annexe à son domaine sicilien. Les
Arabes de Malte lui versaient un tribut annuel en échange de quoi il les laissa gérer les affaires. En
1127, le comte Roger II consolida cette domination normande. Les rapports étroits avec la Sicile
aboutirent à une situation de bilinguisme généralisée, les Maltais étant à la fois capables de
s‟exprimer en maltais et en sicilien variante dialectale de l‟italien. L‟alphabet latin fut aussi adapté à
la transcription du maltais avec succès, moyennant l‟utilisation de quelques signes diacritiques. Il
s‟agit d‟un cas unique de transcription d‟une langue sémitique en alphabet latin.

Mais les troupes d‟Aragon du roi d‟Espagne expulsèrent bientôt ls Normands pour 250 ans, laissant
de nombreuses traces de la culture hispanique.

Depuis au moins 1481, le peuple maltais a pris conscience qu‟il s‟exprimait dans une langue
différente de celle utilisée par ses administrateurs. Ainsi, l‟université de Mdina, qui était alors la
capitale de Malte, refusa la prise de fonction d‟un prêtre sicilien au motif qu‟il était trop jeune et ne
maîtrisait pas la langue vernaculaire. D‟ailleur, le premier texte en maltais connu à ce jour date de
cette période. Il s‟agit d‟un poème d‟une vingtaine de vers. Il faudra attendre la moitié du XVIIème
siècle pour qu‟un nouveau poème soit écrit en maltais. En effet, les Maltais étaient plutôt tournés
vers des activités économiques, comme la pêche, l‟agriculture et le commerce (voire la piraterie !),
au détriment de la culture.

En 1530, les îles furent cédées par Charles Quint aux chevaliers de l‟ordre de Saint-Jean dont les
deux tiers étaient français. Leur administration laissa des traces car ils utilisaient pour les actes
juridiques et notariés un langage mêlé de latin, de sicilien et d‟italien.

C‟est alors qu‟apparaît une rupture entre les villes et la campagne où l‟élément sémitique se
maintient.

Les chevaliers font de La Valette la nouvelle capitale de Malte, un port prospère en relation
quotidienne avec les marins siciliens et italiens, ce qui renforce l‟influence des ces langues sur le
maltais.

A partir de 1802, la présence britannique s‟installe à Malte après la brève occupation française lors
de l‟expédition napoléonienne d‟Egypte en 1798.

Mais l‟élément néo-latin de la langue continuait de se développer même si quelques mots d‟origine
anglo-saxonne faisaient leur entrée dans la langue. Avec le mouvement du Risorgimento en Italie, de
nombreux exilés monarcistes et républicains vinrent s‟installer à Malte.

Jusqu‟à la fin du XIXème siècle, le maltais s‟était développé oralement. En 1895, Mikiel Anton
Vassalli, reconnu comme le père de la littérature maltaise, tenta en vain de développer des écoles
d‟enseignement du maltais.

En 1921, la société des auteurs maltais est fondée.

En 1924, l‟alphabet maltais fut rationalisé et le maltais devint la langue officielle du peuple.

En 1964, Malte devient un Etat indépendant pour la première fois de son histoire. Elle reste membre
du Commonwealth. En 1979, les dernières troupes britanniques évacuent Malte. Actuellement, les
345 000 Maltais préfèrent l‟usage de l‟anglais ou de l‟italien à celle du maltais. De nombreux Maltais
ont également émigré, principalement vers les pays anglo-saxons et l‟Afrique du nord.

Maltese Swadesh list

From Wiktionary
Jump to: navigation, search
This is an Swadesh list of words in English and Maltese.
[edit] Presentation
For further information, read the Wikipedia article: Swadesh list
The Swadesh word list, developed by the linguist Morris Swadesh, is used as a tool to study the
evolution of languages. It contains a set of basic words which can be found in every language.
Various versions have been created, in particular:
 a complete 207 words version, in which some of the words are not found in every
environment (it contains for instance snake and snow)
 a reduced 100 words version.
This word list should not be considered as an elementary lexicon to communicate with speakers of a
given language; for such a purpose, the numerous existing Wikitravel lexicons are more useful. Its
only objective is to give a rough idea of the language, by showing its lexical and, when possible,
phonetics basis.

Maltese (Malti)
Maltese is a Semitic language spoken by about 350,000 people on the Mediterranean islands of
Malta and Gozo.
The Maltese language developed from the Arabic spoken by the Arabs who invaded and occupied
Malta in 870 AD. Malta was occupied by French-speaking Normans in 1090. Between 1530 and
1798 Malta served as the base for the Knights Hospitaller of St John, who spoke Italian and Latin.
Malta became a British colony in 1800 and the British tried to replace Italian with English as the
local language.
After Malta become independent in 1964 both English and Maltese were given official status and
Maltese became the national language of Malta. Today Maltese is used in most sectors of public life,
including parliament, the church, the press and other media, and in general conversation. English is
generally the preferred medium of instruction in schools, especially at the higher levels of the
educational system.
The first known literary text in Maltese, II Cantilena, appeared during the 15th century. The first
Maltese language was a catechism by F. Wizzino, and was published in 1752.

Maltese pronunciation

Notes
 għ is silent but pharyngealizes and lengthens vowels
  h has a simliar function to għ
 għ and h at the end of a word are both pronounced as ħ
 għh = ħħ
 Final consonants are devoiced: b = [p], d = [t], ġ = [ʧ], g = [k], v = [f], ż = [s]
 i before għ, h, ħ or q = [iː]
 m followed by a consonant at the beginning of a word is pronounced im, e.g. mnejn =
[imnejn]

SURVIVAL
MALTESE
By
Grazio Falzon

MERHBA! WELCOME!
This SURVIVAL MALTESE is intended for pleasure, especially to those planning a trip to the
Maltese islands. Being able to speak even a few words will guarantee an appreciative and warm
response.
I suggest that you follow the initial sequence of this Survival Maltese, esp. in regards to
pronunciation and basic expressions. This gives you not only a minimum vocabulary, but also
helps you get used to pronouncing the language. The phonetic transcription enables you to
pronounce every word.
The imitated pronunciation should be read as if it were General American English. Of course,
the sounds of any two languages are never exactly identical; but if you follow the indications
provided here, you'll be able to read my transcriptions in such a way as to make yourself
understood.
I tested out my transcription method on my California wife; she could pronounce perfect
Maltese by reading off my transcriptions.
I am deeply appreciative to linguist Bjarne Skov (University of Oslo, Norway) and Hector
Barca (Madrid Spain) for their invaluable feedback.
I hope you have as much fun learning some basic Maltese as I had working on this project.

THE ALPHABET --------

LETTER APPROXIMATE PRONUNCIATION SYMBOL

EXAMPLES
------ ------------------------- ------ --------

A short, like 'u' in 'shut' a raba

long, like 'a' in 'far' a: sala

B like Eng. b b blu

C like ch in 'church' ch coff

D like Eng. d d demm

E short, as e in 'shed' e dell
long, as ai in 'hair' e: gelu

F like Eng. f f frott

G like j in 'join' j gbejna

G like g in 'great' g gardell

H silent within a word; fehem

pronounced like h in hen

when at the end of a word h fih

H like h in 'house' h hamsa

I short, as i in 'fit' i fitt

long, as ee in 'jeep' i: ilu

J like y in 'yes' y jannar

K like k in 'kit' k kelma

L like l in 'life' l landa

M as in Eng. m mans

N as in Eng. n nisel

O short, like o in got o bott

long, like aw in law o: sod

GH mostly silent (*) boghod

gharef

P as in Eng. p patata

Q glottal plosive sound ' dqiq

produced by the closure of
the vocal chords followed
by their sudden separation

R trilled like Scottish r r marsus

S like s in 'sea' s sinjur

T like t in French 'tante' t tfajla

U short, like u in 'full' u pulptu

long, like oo in 'fool' u: hut
 V as in Eng. v iva

W like w in 'war' w werwer

X like sh in 'sheep' sh xadina

Z voiced, like z in 'fuzz' z zunzan

Z unvoiced, like ts in 'hats' ts pinzell

(*) 'GH' is regarded as a single letter in Maltese. When it precedes or

follows any one of the vowels 'a', 'e', 'o' it prolongs the sound of the
vowel. In my phonetic transcription this is shown by : after the
vowel concerned.

When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'i' it takes the sound of 'ay' in the
English word 'bay'. When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'u' it takes the
sound of 'ou' in the English word 'soul'.

When 'GH' is the final letter in a word, it is pronounced as a soft aspirate

sound like 'h' in the English word 'hair'.

The phonetic transcription will show the correct variation in pronunciation.

N.B.(1) General rules governing the length of vowels:

-- All vowels at the end of a word are short and unstressed.

-- All vowels are long when they are stressed and are followed
by one consonant. They are short when followed by more than
one consonant.

-- A long vowel becomes shorter when the word in which it occurs

is followed by a word beginning with a consonant and carrying
the main stress. E.g. dar sabiha.

N.B.(2) My phonetic transcription will also show the differences in

pronunciation of 'g' in 'gobon' and 'g' in 'gidba', 'z' in 'zija' and 'z'
in 'zarbun', and between silent and pronounced 'h'.

N.B.(3) Doubled consonants are to be lengthened phonetically at the

beginning of a word or inside it. Thus ll in 'falla' must be pronounced
not with one l as in English 'fuller' but with the first l closing
the first syllable and with the second l opening the second syllable.
Approximate phonetic analogy in English would be the pronunciation of
"full life".

Le Maltais

Grammaire – Dictionnaire

Malte... Minuscule pays composé de trois îles (Malte, Gozo et Comino), à mi-chemin entre la
Sicile et la côte tunisienne, vient de faire son entrée dans l‟Union Européenne. Avec une population
d‟environ 380 000 habitants (plus de 800 000 maltais vivent à l‟étranger), Malte n‟a qu‟une
superficie de 316 Km² (dont Malte 246 Km², Gozo 67 Km² et Comino 2 Km²). La Capitale s‟appelle
la Valette (Valetta). Malte est un pays catholique à 98%, ce fut le premier d‟Europe occidentale à
l‟être (suite au naufrage de St-Paul), avec près de 1000 religieux et pas moins de 350 églises. L‟île
fut cédée par Charles Quint en 1530 (contre un faucon maltais !) à l‟ordre de St-Jean de Jérusalem,
expulsé de Rhodes. Ainsi naissait le fameux Ordre de Malte. Le nom de Malte descend de la langue
des phéniciens (qui habitèrent l‟île entre -800 et -600 avant JC) et signifierait « île de miel ».
Malte possède deux langues officielles : le maltais tout d‟abord, objet de notre étude ; puis
l‟anglais, langue de la colonisation britannique pendant près de deux siècles. On y trouve également
de petites communautés parlant le français, l‟italien, l‟espagnol, l‟allemand ou encore l‟arabe. La
langue maltaise, bien que clairement d‟origine sémitique (sa ressemblance avec l‟arabe maghrébin
est évidente), a subi de fortes influences extérieures, en vertu de la situation clef de l‟île au milieu de
la Méditerranée. Ainsi la langue possède de nombreux mots d‟origine française, sicilienne ou
anglaise.

Je vous propose donc sur cette page de découvrir le maltais, grâce à une bref aperçu
grammatical de la langue, suivi d‟un lexique assez riche. Je suis certain que le caractère mystérieux
de cette langue saura vous plaire. Il est assez ludique d‟essayer de comparer certains mots avec leur
équivalent italien ou arabe, tant la ressemblance est parfois frappante. L‟orthographe elle aussi a son
charme. Je suis certain que cette langue méconnue ne vous laissera pas indifférent. Ce serait
dommage de ne penser qu‟à Malte on ne parle que l‟anglais, lorsqu‟on sait qu‟une telle langue y est
également officielle (et de ce fait, officielle dans l‟Union Européenne). Voici donc à quoi ressemble
le maltais...

Aperçu de la langue...
Extraits de textes maltais

«Reġel kellu biss żewġ titfal. L-iżgħar qal lil missieru : “Wasal iż-żmien li nkun raj tiegħi „nnifsi u li
jkolli l-flus ; u li nkun nista nitlaq u l‟inżur pajjiżi oħra. Aqsam ġidek u tini sehmi.” – “Ibni, qal il-
missier, kif trid ; inti mqareb u tkun ikkastigat !” Minnufiħ, fetħ kexxun, u qasam li kellu fi tnejn.»
(Parabole de l‟enfant prodigue)
[Traduction : Un homme n‟avait que deux fils. Le plus jeune dit à son père : “Il est temps que je sois
mon maître et que j‟aie de l‟argent ; il faut que je puisse m‟en aller et que je voie du pays. Partagez
votre bien, et donnez-moi ce que je dois avoir !” – “Ô mon fils, dit le père, comme tu voudras ! Tu es
un méchant et tu seras puni !” Et ensuite, il ouvrit un tiroir, il partagea son bien et en fit deux parts.]

«Il-gżejjer Maltin għandhom storja kbira li tifrex tul il-medda ta‟ ħafna snin. Fiha naraw li minn
żminijiet qodma l-poplu beda jinfirex f‟inħawi differenti biex jifforma komunitatijiet żgħar li bil-
mod il-mod bdew joktru u jikbru.» (Guillaumier, 1987)
[Traduction : Les îles maltaises ont une longue histoire qui s‟étend sur de nombreuses années. Nous
y trouvons que dans les temps anciens, les peuples ont commencé à se répandre dans différentes
directions afin de fonder de petites communautés qui petit à petit finissent par se multiplier et
grandir.]

Chaque voyelle peut être brève, longue ou pharyngale. Le trait de pharyngalisation est noté par
« għ » placé avant ou après la voyelle en question. Noter que les « i » et « u » pharyngaux sont
diphtongués et se prononcent respectivement [aʕj] et [oʕw]. Une voyelle pharyngale est longue, sauf
en cas de diphtongaison.
+ ‟ l‟apostrophe placée après un -a final rend un -għ étymologique mais ne se prononce pas. Comme
l‟arabe, le maltais fonctionne par racines de trois ou quatre consonnes pour former les mots, dont
chacun des trois éléments est essentiel.
Chaque consonne peut être géminée (écrite et prononcée deux fois), comme en italien ou en arabe.
Noter que la lettre C sans point suscrit (Ċ) n‟existe pas.

Grammaire

Article
L‟article maltais est unique, quelque soit le genre ou le nombre. Sa forme est « il- ».
Il se place devant un substantif ou un adjectif auquel il est relié par un trait d‟union. Cependant, il
peut subir quelques modifications :
1- « il- » conserve sa forme devant des mots commençant par b, f, ġ, g, ħ, j, k, l, m, p, q, v et w
Ex : il-baqra (la vache) ; il-fardal (le tablier) ; il-ġobon (fromage) ; il-gwerra (la guerre) ; il-ħanek (la
gencive) ; il-kamra (la chambre) ; il-liżar (le drap) ; il-mogħża (la chèvre) ; il-pupa (la poupée) ; il-
qassis (le curé) ; il-verb (le verbe) ; il-widna (l‟oreille) etc.
2- Le « l » est assimilé par la consonne initiale du mot si celle-ci est ċ, d, n, r, s, t, x, ż ou z
Ex : iċ-ċarruta (le chiffon) ; id-dar (la maison) ; in-nar (le feu) ; ir-riħ (le vent) ; is-sikkina (le
couteau) ; it-tigra (le tigre) ; ix-xemx (le soleil) ; iż-żejt (l‟huile) ; iz-zalza (la sauce) etc.
3- « il- » est réduit à « l- » devant un mot commençant par une voyelle, għ ou ħ
Ex : l-art (le sol) ; l-isem (le nom) ; l-ors (l‟ours) ; l-arblu (le poteau) ; l-għassa (la garde) ; l-għar (la
grotte) ; l-għerq (la racine) ; l-għeneb (le raisin) ; l-hena (le bonheur) ; l-herra (la violence) etc.
4- Devant un mot commençant par deux voyelles, « il- » devient « l- » mais, le mot articulé est
obligatoirement précédé d‟un « i- »
Ex : lsir (esclave) > l-ilsir (l‟esclave) ; msiemer (clous) > l-imsiemer (les clous) ; skola (école) > l-
iskola (l‟école)
5- Lorsque le mot précédent se termine par une voyelle, le « i » de l‟article est omis
Ex : il-muftieħ (la clef) > Tlifna l-muftieħ (nous avons perdu la clef)

L‟article peut également être contracté avec certaines prépositions telles que :
ma‟ (avec) > mal ; sa (vers) > sal ; fi (dans) > fil ; ġo (dans) > ġol ; lil (à) > lill ; għal (à) > għall ;
bħal (comme) > bħall
Ex : il-bir (le puits) > fil-bir (dans le puits)

-t (de même, ils obligent l‟adjonction d‟un i- au mot qui suit). Voici donc leur forme : 1 waħdat, 2
żewġt, 3 tlitt, 4 erbat, 5 ħamest, 6 sitt, 7 sebat, 8 tmint, 9 disat, 10 għaxart

Les nombres de 2 à 10 régissent systématiquement un pluriel alors que, ceux de 11 à 19 demandent

eux, un singulier et sont reliés à l‟article.
Ex : żewġ kotba (deux livres), żewġt ifniek (deux lapins), tlitt ijiem (trois jours), ħamest itfal (conq
enfants) etc.
dsatax-il skola (dix-neuf écoles), tlettax-il labra (treize aiguilles) etc.

Pronoms personnels
Forme F. suffixée Forme
isolée Complément Possessif réfléchie
(~-même)
Sg 1°p jiena -ni -i, -ja* innifsi
2°p inti -ek -ek, -k* innfsek
3°p M huwa -u -u, -h* innifsu
F hija -ha -ha innifsha
Pl 1°p aħna -na -na infusna
2°p intom -kom -kom infuskom
3°p huma -hom -hom infushom
* Après un substantif terminé en -ejn ou -ajn (duel), dont l‟élément perd d‟ailleurs son -n final au
contact du pronom
Ex : saqajn (les jambes) > saqajja (mes jambes), saqajk (tes jambes) etc.
Lorsqu‟un pronom suffixé est ajouté à un verbe terminé en -a, ce dernier devient -ie
Ex : nesa (il a oublié) > nsieni (il m‟a oublié), nsiek (il t‟a oublié) etc.
Un verbe terminé en -a‟ auquel est préfixé un pronom voit sa terminaison transformée en -
agħ- ou en -għ-
Ex : sema‟ (il entend) > semagħni (il m‟entend), semgħek (il t‟entend) etc.
Lorsqu‟un pronom suffixé est ajouté à un substantif terminé en -a, ce dernier devient -t
Ex : mara (femme) > marti (ma femme), martek (ta femme) etc.

Les pronoms personnels peuvent également être contractés avec certaines prépositions, sous leur
forme de possessif
ta (à/de) : tiegħi (à moi), tiegħek (à toi), tiegħu (à lui), tiegħha (à elle), tagħna (à nous), tagħkom (à
vous), tagħhom (à eux)
għand (chez) : għandi (chez moi), għandek, għandhu, għandha, għandna, għandkom, għandhom
lejn (vers) : lejja (vers moi), lejk, lejh, lejha, lejna, lejkom, lejhom
lil (à) : lili (à moi), lilek, lilu, lilha, lilna, lilkom, lilhom
ma‟ (avec) : miegħi (avec moi), miegħek, miegħu, magħha, magħna, magħkom, magħhom

Démonstratifs
Proche Éloigné
Sg M dan dak
F din dik
Pl dawn dawk

Adjectif qualificatif
L‟adjectif se place après le substantif qu‟il qualifie. Il s‟accorde en genre et en nombre avec ce
dernier.
Le féminin s‟obtient en ajoutant un -a.
Ex : tajjeb (bon) > tajba (bonne)
smin (gras) > smina (grasse)
ħafif (léger) > ħafifa (légère)
Le pluriel ne suit pas de règle stricte, comme pour les substantifs... Citons toutefois les adjectifs
terminés en -i qui font leur pluriel en -in
Ex : nadif (propre) > nodfa (propres)
ikraħ (laid) > koroħ (laids)

Le comparatif s‟obtient par préfixation d‟une voyelle, variant selon la consonne qui suit
Ex : kbar (grand) > akbar (plus grand) ; qsar (court) > iqsar (plus court)
Le pronom “que” d‟une comparaison est rendu par « min »
Le superlatif s‟obtient tout simplement en faisant précéder le comparatif de l‟article
Ex : kbar (grand) > akbar (plus grand) > l-akbar (le plus grand)

Conjugaison des verbes

Les différentes déclinaisons d‟un verbe sont formées à partir de la racine du mot, composée de trois
ou quatre consonnes qui seront toujours présentes, malgré les changements pouvant survenir. La
conjugaison en soi n‟est pas très complexe. Il n‟existe réellement que deux temps (présent et passé),
dont on tire également les formes de l‟infinitif et de l‟impératif. Il existe aussi des participes présent
et passés. La difficulté réside dans le fait que de nombreux changements ont lieu, surtout d‟ordre
vocalique. Le système est somme toute, extrêmement proche de celui de l‟arabe. Or, on sait bien
qu‟en arabe, la voyelle est suffisamment instable pour ne pas être écrite. Le cas du maltais est
semblable, mais utilisant un alphabet latin, les variations vocaliques sont écrites et la complexité est
alors plus “visible”. Mais il s‟agit plus d‟un dépaysement que d‟une réelle difficulté. Voyez par vous-
même, ce n‟est pas si compliqué...

Formation du présent
Le présent d‟un verbe maltais se forme à partir de sa forme à l‟impératif singulier et pluriel en y
ajoutant des désinence pronominales (n-, t- ou j-) afin d‟obtenir les personnes
Ex : manger > (sg) iekol ;(pl) ieklu / travailler > (sg) aħdem ;(pl) aħdmu
Sg 1°p niekol naħdem
2°p tiekol taħdem
3°p M jiekol jaħdem
F tiekol taħdem
Pl 1°p nieklu naħdmu
2°p tieklu taħdmu
3°p jieklu jaħdmu
NB: La 3° personne féminin singulier est identique à la deuxième personne du singulier

Formation du passé
Le passé se forme par adjonction de désinences pronominales (-t, -t, -Ø, -et, -na, -tu, -u) à la fin de
l‟infinitif du verbe.
Pour compliquer la chose, de très nombreux verbes subissent des modifications vocaliques
Ex : ħallas (payer) & ħadem (travailler)
Sg 1°p ħallast ħdimt
2°p ħallast ħdimt
3°p M ħallas ħadem
F ħallset ħadmet
Pl 1°p ħallasna ħdimna
2°p ħallastu ħdimtu
3°p ħallsu ħadmu

Formation du futur
Le futur à proprement parler n‟existe pas. On l‟obtient en utilisant tout simplement le présent. C‟est
le contexte qui détermine qu‟il s‟agit d‟un futur. Mais on peut également utiliser des adverbes de
temps ou autres indicateurs temporels tels que għada (demain), pitgħada (après-demain) etc.
Le futur proche ou futur immédiat s‟obtient en faisant précéder le verbe de la particule « se ». Ex : se
naħdem (je vais travailler)

Forme négative
La forme négative d‟un verbe s‟obtient en le faisant précéder de la particule « ma » et d‟ajouter
également le suffixe « -x » à la fin du verbe, quelque soit la personne ou le temps.
Ex : jaf (il sait) > ma jafx (il ne sait pas)
mort (je suis allé) > ma mortx (je ne suis pas allé)
Les verbes terminés par -a ou -a‟ voient cette terminaison se changer en -ie- (sauf Sg. 3°p -a‟ > -ax)
au contact du suffixe -x
Ex : beka (il a pleuré) > ma bekiex (il n‟a pas pleuré)
lgħabna (nous avons joué) > ma lgħabniex (nous n‟avons pas joué)
morna (nous sommes allés) > ma morniex (nous ne sommes pas allés)
żera‟ (il a semé) > ma żerax (il n‟a pas semé)
aħna qtajna (nous avons coupé) > aħna ma qtajniex (nous n‟avons pas coupé)

Forme interrogative
La forme interrogative d‟un verbe se fait en le faisant précéder de la particule «x‟», quelque soit la
personne ou le temps du verbe
Ex : x‟għamel? (que fait-il?), x‟tistudja? (qu‟étudies-tu?), x‟taħsel? (que laves-tu?)
Traduction du verbe « être »
Présent Passé Futur Forme
négative*
Sg 1°p kont nkun miniex
2°p kont tkun mintix
3°p M Pas de kien jkun mhuwiex, mhux
F verbe être kienet tkun mhijiex, mhix
Pl 1°p au présent konna nkunu mahniex
2°p kontu tkunu mintomx
3°p kienu jkunu mhumiex
* Présent
NB: Au présent, le verbe être n‟est pas nécessaire. On ne rencontre donc que des phrases nominales
sans verbe pour lesquelles on peut éventuellement, renforcer la phrase avec un pronom personnel. La
forme de conjugaison du verbe être au présent existe toutefois mais rend une idée de futur.

Traduction du verbe « avoir »

Présent* Passé Futur Forme

Pl 1°p għandna kellna jkollna ma kellniex
2°p għandkom kellkom jkollkom ma kellkomx
3°p għandhom kellhom jkollhom ma kellhomx
* Le verbe avoir n‟existe pas au présent, mais se rend par la tournure : għand (chez) + pronom

(*) 'GH' is regarded as a single letter in Maltese. When it precedes or
follows any one of the vowels 'a', 'e', 'o' it prolongs the sound of the
vowel. In my phonetic transcription this is shown by : after the
vowel concerned.

When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'i' it takes the sound of 'ay' in the
English word 'bay'. When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'u' it takes the
sound of 'ou' in the English word 'soul'.

When 'GH' is the final letter in a word, it is pronounced as a soft

aspirate sound like 'h' in the English word 'hair'.

The phonetic transcription will show the correct variation in

pronunciation.

N.B.(1) General rules governing the length of vowels:

-- All vowels at the end of a word are short and unstressed.

-- All vowels are long when they are stressed and are followed
by one consonant. They are short when followed by more than
one consonant.

-- A long vowel becomes shorter when the word in which it occurs

is followed by a word beginning with a consonant and carrying
the main stress. E.g. dar sabiha.

N.B.(2) My phonetic transcription will also show the differences in

pronunciation of 'g' in 'gobon' and 'g' in 'gidba', 'z' in 'zija' and 'z'
in 'zarbun', and between silent and pronounced 'h'.

N.B.(3) Doubled consonants are to be lengthened phonetically at the

beginning of a word or inside it. Thus ll in 'falla' must be pronounced
not with one l as in English 'fuller' but with the first l closing
the first syllable and with the second l opening the second syllable.
Approximate phonetic analogy in English would be the pronunciation of
"full life".

THE ARTICLE
The definite article "the", in Maltese is "l", linked by a hyphen to the following noun or
adjective. E.g. l-orizzont (the horizon), l-isbah (the most beautiful).
The article becomes "il-" if the following word begins with a consonant. E.g. il-mera (the
mirror), il-quddiesa (the Mass), il-qamar (the moon), il-lapis (the pencil), il-habs (the prison),
il-ghasfur or l-ghasfur (the bird), il-herra or l-herra (the rudenss).
The definite article changes to match the following word in certain instances when the initial
consonant is c, d, n, r, s, t, x, z (voiced), or z E.g. ic-cirku (the circle), id-duhhan (the smoke), in-
nemel (the ants), ir-rahal (the village), is-suwed (the blacks), it-tagen (the frying pan), ix-xitan
(the devil), iz-zalza (the sauce), iz-zunzan (the bee).
PRONOUNS
PERSONAL PRONOUNS
Personal pronouns in Maltese can also function as verbs. Thus:

Singular:

Jien (or Jiena) = I; I am

Int (or Inti) = You; You are
Hu (or Huwa) = He; He is
Hi (or Hija) = She; She is

Plural:

Ahna = We; We are

Intom = You; You are
Huma = They; They are
The negative of the verbal mode of the pronoun is made by surrounding the pronoun with
"ma" before the pronoun and "x" appended to it. Thus:

ma jiniex (or miniex) I am not

mintix You are not
mhuwiex (or mhux) He is not
mhijiex (or mhix) She is not
mahniex We are not
mintomx You are not
mhumiex They are not

GENDER OF NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES

(1) Nouns and adjectives ending in a consonant or in "u" are

masculine.

glekk (coat) seklu (century)

ktieb (book) gustuz (cute)

A few exceptions: triq (street), dar (house), ruh (soul), qalb

(heart), belt (city), id (hand).

(2) Nouns and adjectives ending in "a" are feminine.

mejda (table hobza (loaf)

helwa (sweet) sabiha (beautiful)

A few exceptions: ilma (water), papa (pope), alla (god).

(3) Nouns ending in "i" are feminine.

arti (art) xorti (luck)

fidi (faith) vuci (voice)

FORMATION OF FEMININE ADJECTIVES

Generally, the feminine gender is formed by adding "a" to the masculine or "ja" if the
masculine ends in "i".

In Maltese, the adjective follows the noun it qualifies.

mara xiha (an old woman)

tfajla franciza (a French girl)

The adjective takes the definite article when it qualifies a noun which
is preceded by a definite article.
 it-tifel il-marid (the sick boy)

il-kamra n-nadifa (the clean room)

When a noun is in the singular, the qualifying ajective agrees with the
noun in gender and number. In the plural form of the adjective is the
same for both masculine and feminine genders.
N.B. The formation of the plural number in Maltese for both adjectives and nouns does not follow
uniform patterns. The reader is encouraged to learn the plural forms as he or she encounters
them.
COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES
The comparative degree of adjectives is formed by prefixing "a, e, i" or "o" to the positive
form of the adjective. Following are examples of the main patterns:

qawwi (strong) aqwa (stronger)

ohxon (fat) ehxen (fatter)
fqir (poor) ifqar (poorer)
ghali (costly) oghla (costlier)

The conjunction "minn" (than) introduces the following item of

comparison.

Din id-dghajsa hi akbar minn l-ohra.

(This boat is larger than the other one).

The superlative precedes the noun it qualifies and is expressed by

prefixing the article "l-" to the comparative form of the adjective.

l-ikbar kamra (the largest room)

l-iqsar triq (the shortest road)

Some adjectives take "aktar" (more) or "izjed" (more) and "anqas"

(less) to express the comparative degree. The superlative is formed by
prefixing the definite article "l-" to "aktar', "izjed", and "anqas".

Ghawdex hu iktar awtentiku minn Malta.

(Gozo is more authentic than Malta).

Dak il-kostum hu anqas accettat fMalta.

(That custom is less accepted in Malta).

Hi l-ahjar fil-kors.
(She is the best in the course).

Dawn huma l-anqas artistici.

(These are the least artistic).

THE PLURAL

Maltese has two plural numbers:

 a) the DUAL indicating two items or things in pairs.
b) the PLURAL expressing more than two items.

The DUAL number is formed by adding the suffix "-ejn" or "-ajn" to the
singular form of the noun.

darba = darbtejn (twice) gimgha = gimaghtejn (twoweeks)

jum = jumejn (two days) id = idejn (pair of hands)

The general PLURAL is formed by the suffixes: "-i", "-iet", "-ijiet",

and "-ien".

ajruplan = ajruplani (airplanes) ahbar = ahbarijiet (news)

taqsima = taqsimiet (sections) wied = widien (valleys)

Some nouns have a determinate plural (preceded by a number) and also a

collective plural form.

kelma (a word), erba kelmiet (four words), kliem (words)

tuffieha (an apple), sitt tuffihiet (six apples), tuffieh (apples)

Maltese has two categories of formations of the plural for nouns and
adjectives;

a) the external plural by suffixes

b) the internal plural formed by breaking the word internally

N.B. The student is encouraged to memorize the plural formations of the

more frequently used words. Following is a sampler of the variety of
plural patterns encountered in Maltese.

a) EXTERNAL PLURAL

Malti = Maltin (Maltese)

omm = ommijiet (mothers)
bieb = bibien (doors)

 ktieb = kotba (books)
targa = tarag (stairs)
sodda = sodod (beds)
gzira = gzejjer (islands

THE VERB
In Maltese, verbs do not have an infinitive form. Verb moods and tenses are constructed from
a root form which consists of the third person singular, masculine, Perfect Tense.

There are five categories of conjugations:

1) STRONG: Verbs having three or four root consonants.

KiTeB (he wrote); HaRBaT (he ruined)

2) DEFECTIVE: Verbs having a silent third radical "gh".

TaFa for TaFaGH (he threw)

3) WEAK: Verbs having a third radical semi vowel "j". QaRa for
QaRaJ (he read)

4) HOLLOW: Verbs having long "a" or "ie" (for original

etymological "awa" and "aja") between initial and final stem
consonants. DaM for DaWaM (he delayed); SaB for SaJaB (he found)

5) DOUBLED: Verbs having double third radical.

GaRR (he transported)

THE MALTESE VERB HAS THE FOLLOWING TENSES AND FUNCTIONS:

1) The PERFECT TENSE

Jien ktibt (I wrote) Ahna ktibna (we wrote)

Inti ktibt (you wrote) Intom ktibtu (you wrote)
Hija kitbet (she wrote) Huma kitbu (they wrote)
Huwa kiteb (he wrote) Huma kitbu (they wrote)

2) The IMPERFECT (PRESENT - FUTURE TENSE)

Jien nikteb (I write) Ahna niktbu (we write)

Inti tikteb (you write) Intom tiktbu (you write)
Hija tikteb (she writes) Huma jiktbu (they write)
Huwa jikteb (he writes) Huma jiktbu (they write)

3) The IMPERATIVE MOOD

ikteb (write)(sing / you) iktbu (write)(plur / you)

4) The PRESENT PARTICIPLE

Intransitive verbs have this form. Ex: hiere[ (going out); rieqed
(sleeping); sieket (quiet).

5) The PAST PARTICIPLE

miktub (written); misruq (stolen); miksur (broken).

6) The VERBAL NOUN

kitba (writing or script); serqa (stealing or theft); telfa

(losing or loss).

DERIVED VERBS
Derived verbal stems are categorized into nine groups according to formation and meaning of
verbs.

PATTERN 1

Verbs doubling a middle radical. The meaning is generally intensive,

causative or transitive.

Ex: kisser (he smashed); raqqad (he put to sleep); kabbar (he enlarged).

Conjugation:

Perfect (jien) kissirt, (int) kissirt, (hu) kisser, (hi)

(*) 'GH' is regarded as a single letter in Maltese. When it precedes or

follows any one of the vowels 'a', 'e', 'o' it prolongs the sound of the
vowel. In my phonetic transcription this is shown by : after the
vowel concerned.
When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'i' it takes the sound of 'ay' in the
English word 'bay'. When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'u' it takes the
sound of 'ou' in the English word 'soul'.

When 'GH' is the final letter in a word, it is pronounced as a soft

aspirate sound like 'h' in the English word 'hair'.

The phonetic transcription will show the correct variation in

pronunciation.

N.B.(1) General rules governing the length of vowels:

-- All vowels at the end of a word are short and unstressed.

-- All vowels are long when they are stressed and are followed
by one consonant. They are short when followed by more than
one consonant.

-- A long vowel becomes shorter when the word in which it occurs

is followed by a word beginning with a consonant and carrying
the main stress. E.g. dar sabiha.

N.B.(2) My phonetic transcription will also show the differences in

pronunciation of 'g' in 'gobon' and 'g' in 'gidba', 'z' in 'zija' and 'z'
in 'zarbun', and between silent and pronounced 'h'.

N.B.(3) Doubled consonants are to be lengthened phonetically at the

beginning of a word or inside it. Thus ll in 'falla' must be pronounced
not with one l as in English 'fuller' but with the first l closing
the first syllable and with the second l opening the second syllable.
Approximate phonetic analogy in English would be the pronunciation of
"full life".

THE ARTICLE
The definite article "the", in Maltese is "l", linked by a hyphen to the following noun or
adjective. E.g. l-orizzont (the horizon), l-isbah (the most beautiful).
The article becomes "il-" if the following word begins with a consonant. E.g. il-mera (the
mirror), il-quddiesa (the Mass), il-qamar (the moon), il-lapis (the pencil), il-habs (the prison),
il-ghasfur or l-ghasfur (the bird), il-herra or l-herra (the rudenss).
The definite article changes to match the following word in certain instances when the initial
consonant is c, d, n, r, s, t, x, z (voiced), or z E.g. ic-cirku (the circle), id-duhhan (the smoke), in-
nemel (the ants), ir-rahal (the village), is-suwed (the blacks), it-tagen (the frying pan), ix-xitan
(the devil), iz-zalza (the sauce), iz-zunzan (the bee).
PRONOUNS
PERSONAL PRONOUNS
Personal pronouns in Maltese can also function as verbs. Thus:

Singular:

Jien (or Jiena) = I; I am

Int (or Inti) = You; You are
Hu (or Huwa) = He; He is
Hi (or Hija) = She; She is

Plural:

Ahna = We; We are

Intom = You; You are
Huma = They; They are
The negative of the verbal mode of the pronoun is made by surrounding the pronoun with
"ma" before the pronoun and "x" appended to it. Thus:

ma jiniex (or miniex) I am not

mintix You are not
mhuwiex (or mhux) He is not
mhijiex (or mhix) She is not
mahniex We are not
mintomx You are not
mhumiex They are not

GENDER OF NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES

(1) Nouns and adjectives ending in a consonant or in "u" are

masculine.

glekk (coat) seklu (century)

ktieb (book) gustuz (cute)

A few exceptions: triq (street), dar (house), ruh (soul), qalb

(heart), belt (city), id (hand).

(2) Nouns and adjectives ending in "a" are feminine.

mejda (table hobza (loaf)

helwa (sweet) sabiha (beautiful)

A few exceptions: ilma (water), papa (pope), alla (god).

(3) Nouns ending in "i" are feminine.

arti (art) xorti (luck)

fidi (faith) vuci (voice)

FORMATION OF FEMININE ADJECTIVES

Generally, the feminine gender is formed by adding "a" to the masculine or "ja" if the
masculine ends in "i".

In Maltese, the adjective follows the noun it qualifies.

mara xiha (an old woman)

tfajla franciza (a French girl)

The adjective takes the definite article when it qualifies a noun which
is preceded by a definite article.

it-tifel il-marid (the sick boy)

il-kamra n-nadifa (the clean room)

When a noun is in the singular, the qualifying ajective agrees with the
 noun in gender and number. In the plural form of the adjective is the
same for both masculine and feminine genders.
N.B. The formation of the plural number in Maltese for both adjectives and nouns does not follow
uniform patterns. The reader is encouraged to learn the plural forms as he or she encounters
them.
COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES
The comparative degree of adjectives is formed by prefixing "a, e, i" or "o" to the positive
form of the adjective. Following are examples of the main patterns:

qawwi (strong) aqwa (stronger)

ohxon (fat) ehxen (fatter)
fqir (poor) ifqar (poorer)
ghali (costly) oghla (costlier)

The conjunction "minn" (than) introduces the following item of

comparison.

Din id-dghajsa hi akbar minn l-ohra.

(This boat is larger than the other one).

The superlative precedes the noun it qualifies and is expressed by

prefixing the article "l-" to the comparative form of the adjective.

l-ikbar kamra (the largest room)

l-iqsar triq (the shortest road)

Some adjectives take "aktar" (more) or "izjed" (more) and "anqas"

(less) to express the comparative degree. The superlative is formed by
prefixing the definite article "l-" to "aktar', "izjed", and "anqas".

Ghawdex hu iktar awtentiku minn Malta.

(Gozo is more authentic than Malta).

Dak il-kostum hu anqas accettat fMalta.

(That custom is less accepted in Malta).

Hi l-ahjar fil-kors.
(She is the best in the course).

Dawn huma l-anqas artistici.

(These are the least artistic).

THE PLURAL

Maltese has two plural numbers:

a) the DUAL indicating two items or things in pairs.

b) the PLURAL expressing more than two items.

The DUAL number is formed by adding the suffix "-ejn" or "-ajn" to the
singular form of the noun.
 darba = darbtejn (twice) gimgha = gimaghtejn (twoweeks)
jum = jumejn (two days) id = idejn (pair of hands)

The general PLURAL is formed by the suffixes: "-i", "-iet", "-ijiet",

and "-ien".

ajruplan = ajruplani (airplanes) ahbar = ahbarijiet (news)

taqsima = taqsimiet (sections) wied = widien (valleys)

Some nouns have a determinate plural (preceded by a number) and also a

collective plural form.

kelma (a word), erba kelmiet (four words), kliem (words)

tuffieha (an apple), sitt tuffihiet (six apples), tuffieh (apples)

Maltese has two categories of formations of the plural for nouns and
adjectives;

a) the external plural by suffixes

b) the internal plural formed by breaking the word internally

N.B. The student is encouraged to memorize the plural formations of the

more frequently used words. Following is a sampler of the variety of
plural patterns encountered in Maltese.

a) EXTERNAL PLURAL

Malti = Maltin (Maltese)

omm = ommijiet (mothers)
bieb = bibien (doors)
xugaman = xugamani (towels)
siggu = siggijiet (chairs)
xufier = xufiera (drivers)
cekk = cekkijiet (checks)

b) INTERNAL PLURAL

dar = djar (houses)

but = bwiet (pockets)
ragel = rgiel (men)
rahal = rhula (villages)
ktieb = kotba (books)
targa = tarag (stairs)
sodda = sodod (beds)
gzira = gzejjer (islands

THE VERB
In Maltese, verbs do not have an infinitive form. Verb moods and tenses are constructed from
a root form which consists of the third person singular, masculine, Perfect Tense.

etymological "awa" and "aja") between initial and final stem
consonants. DaM for DaWaM (he delayed); SaB for SaJaB (he found)

5) DOUBLED: Verbs having double third radical.

GaRR (he transported)

THE MALTESE VERB HAS THE FOLLOWING TENSES AND FUNCTIONS:

1) The PERFECT TENSE

Inti ktibt (you wrote) Intom ktibtu (you wrote)
Hija kitbet (she wrote) Huma kitbu (they wrote)

Huwa jikteb (he writes) Huma jiktbu (they write)

3) The IMPERATIVE MOOD

particle "ma" ("m" before a vowel, "h" or "gh") used before a verb
in the present or perfect, to which is appended the particle "x" (short
for xejn = nothing).

A verb ending in "a" changes the vowel to "iex" in the negative.

Affirmative Negative

ghandha she has mghandhiex she doesnt have

Plural: ghandna we have mghandniex we dont have

ghandkom you have mghandkomx you dont have
ghandhom they have mghandhomx they dont have

THE CONDITIONAL
In Maltese the conditional (expressed in English by would / should +
verb) is conveyed by "kieku" (if) or "jekk" (if) followed by the Perfect
or Present forms of the verb.

The conditional is used to express:

a) what would occur under certain present or future conditions.

Jekk titbissmilha, tkellmek.

(If you smile at her, she would speak to you).

Kieku nirbah il-lotterija, nixtri villa.

(If I win the lottery, I would buy a villa).

b) what would have occurred if certain conditions had taken place.

Kieku stidintna, konna nigu.

(If you had invited us, we would have come).

Il-partit ma kienx jirbah kieku ma kellux lider qawwi.

(The party wouldnt have won had it not a strong leader).

THE FUTURE TENSE

The conjugation of the verbs "to be" and "to have" is as follows:

(jien) inkun (I shall be) (jien) ikolli (I shall have)

(int) tkun (you will be) (int) ikollok (you will have)
(hu) jkun (he will be) (hu) jkollu (he will have)
(hi) tkun (she will be) (hi) jkollha (she will have)

(ahna) nkunu (we shall be) (ahna) jkollna (we shall have)
(intom) tkunu (you will be) (intom) ikollkom (you will have)
(huma) jkunu (they will be) (huma) jkollhom (they will have)

In Maltese, the Present tense conveys also the future. There are various
particles and verbs which can combine with the Present Tense to express
different nuances to a future idea.

a) "Ser", abbreviated for "sejjer" (m), "sejra" (f), "sejrin"

(pl) going, expresses an action that is going to take place.

Il-gimgha d-diehla sejrin niccelebraw l-anniversarju

 taghna.
(Next week we are going to celebrate our anniversary.)

Xser taghmel il-lejla?

(What will you be doing this evening?)

b) "Ghad" expresses a future action, event or situation which

may take place.

Ghad jigi zmien meta jiddispjacik.

(A time will come when you will be sorry.)

Ma niskantax jekk ghad taghmel il-borra.

(I wont be surprised if it may still snow.)

c) "Ha" indicates a deliberate future action.

Iddecidew li ha jahdmu flimkien.

(They decided they will be working together.)

Ghada ha nara t-tabib tieghi.

(Tomorrow Im going to see my doctor.)

d) The verb "ikollu" etc. followed by a conjugated verb in the

Present expresses an idea of obligation.

Ikollna nirrisolvu din il-krizi.

(We will have to resolve this crisis.)

Ser ikolli nixtri karozza ohra.

(Im going to have to buy another car.)

e) The verb "ikun" etc. followed by a conjugated verb in the

Present expresses an action expected to take place
concurrently with an another action.

Meta tigi nkun nahdem fuq il-kompjuter.

(I'll be working on the computer when you come.)

Liema belt se tkunu zzuru meta ahna nkunu Parigi?

(Which city will you be visiting when we're in Paris?)

SURVIVAL
MALTESE
By
Grazio Falzon

MERHBA! WELCOME!
This SURVIVAL MALTESE is intended for pleasure, especially to those planning a trip to the
Maltese islands. Being able to speak even a few words will guarantee an appreciative and warm
response.
I suggest that you follow the initial sequence of this Survival Maltese, esp. in regards to
pronunciation and basic expressions. This gives you not only a minimum vocabulary, but also
helps you get used to pronouncing the language. The phonetic transcription enables you to
pronounce every word.
The imitated pronunciation should be read as if it were General American English. Of course,
the sounds of any two languages are never exactly identical; but if you follow the indications
provided here, you'll be able to read my transcriptions in such a way as to make yourself
understood.
I tested out my transcription method on my California wife; she could pronounce perfect
Maltese by reading off my transcriptions.
I am deeply appreciative to linguist Bjarne Skov (University of Oslo, Norway) and Hector
Barca (Madrid Spain) for their invaluable feedback.
I hope you have as much fun learning some basic Maltese as I had working on this project.

LETTER APPROXIMATE PRONUNCIATION SYMBOL

EXAMPLES
------ ------------------------- ------ --------

A short, like 'u' in 'shut' a raba

long, like 'a' in 'far' a: sala

B like Eng. b b blu

C like ch in 'church' ch coff

D like Eng. d d demm

E short, as e in 'shed' e dell

long, as ai in 'hair' e: gelu

F like Eng. f f frott

G like j in 'join' j gbejna

G like g in 'great' g gardell

H silent within a word; fehem

pronounced like h in hen

when at the end of a word h fih

H like h in 'house' h hamsa

I short, as i in 'fit' i fitt

long, as ee in 'jeep' i: ilu

J like y in 'yes' y jannar

K like k in 'kit' k kelma

L like l in 'life' l landa

M as in Eng. m mans

N as in Eng. n nisel

O short, like o in got o bott

long, like aw in law o: sod

GH mostly silent (*) boghod

gharef
 P as in Eng. p patata

Q glottal plosive sound ' dqiq

produced by the closure of
the vocal chords followed
by their sudden separation

R trilled like Scottish r r marsus

S like s in 'sea' s sinjur

T like t in French 'tante' t tfajla

U short, like u in 'full' u pulptu

long, like oo in 'fool' u: hut

V as in Eng. v iva

W like w in 'war' w werwer

X like sh in 'sheep' sh xadina

Z voiced, like z in 'fuzz' z zunzan

Z unvoiced, like ts in 'hats' ts pinzell

(*) 'GH' is regarded as a single letter in Maltese. When it precedes or

follows any one of the vowels 'a', 'e', 'o' it prolongs the sound of the
vowel. In my phonetic transcription this is shown by : after the
vowel concerned.

When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'i' it takes the sound of 'ay' in the
English word 'bay'. When 'GH' is followed by the vowel 'u' it takes the
sound of 'ou' in the English word 'soul'.

When 'GH' is the final letter in a word, it is pronounced as a soft aspirate

sound like 'h' in the English word 'hair'.

The phonetic transcription will show the correct variation in pronunciation.

N.B.(1) General rules governing the length of vowels:

-- All vowels at the end of a word are short and unstressed.

-- All vowels are long when they are stressed and are followed
by one consonant. They are short when followed by more than
one consonant.

-- A long vowel becomes shorter when the word in which it occurs

is followed by a word beginning with a consonant and carrying
 the main stress. E.g. dar sabiha.

N.B.(2) My phonetic transcription will also show the differences in

pronunciation of 'g' in 'gobon' and 'g' in 'gidba', 'z' in 'zija' and 'z'
in 'zarbun', and between silent and pronounced 'h'.

N.B.(3) Doubled consonants are to be lengthened phonetically at the

beginning of a word or inside it. Thus ll in 'falla' must be pronounced
not with one l as in English 'fuller' but with the first l closing
the first syllable and with the second l opening the second syllable.
Approximate phonetic analogy in English would be the pronunciation of
"full life".

Maltese (Maltese: Malti) is the national language of Malta, and a co-official language of the country
alongside English,[2] while the language also serves as an official language of the European Union.
Maltese is generally accepted to be descended from Siculo-Arabic (the Arabic dialect that developed
in Sicily and the rest of Southern Italy)[3] and with substantial borrowing from other languages such
as Italian (particularly Sicilian) and English. A connection to the ancient Punic language has been
mostly discredited.[4] It is the only Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet in its standard
form.
In the course of history, the language adopted large vocabulary and grammar influences from Italian
(particularly Sicilian), making them the now majority vocabulary influence of the language. An
increasing vocabulary (some with their plural forms) are also borrowed from English. Maltese is
genetically classified as a Semitic language[1] which exhibits highly pervasive Romance influences.[5]
Due to the large impact of these influences, Maltese is sometimes referred to as a "mixed
language"[6][7] (although that term is then attributed a vaguer meaning than the strict definitions
current in more recent studies[6]) and it has been proposed to classify it as a "creoloid belonging to
the group of Araboid languages"[8], or as being located on a continuum between a "mixed language"
and a "language with massive borrowing".[6][9][8]
Maltese became an official language of Malta in 1934, alongside English, when Italian was dropped
as official.[10] Today, there are an estimated 500,000 Maltese speakers, of whom 400,000 reside in
Malta. Thousands of Maltese emigrants in Australia, Canada, Gibraltar, Italy, the UK, the USA can
still speak the language.[1] In 2007 it was reported that Maltese is still spoken by Maltese descendants
in Tunisia.[11]
For centuries, Maltese was generally only spoken, with writing being done in Sicilian, the language
of the country's governing power. The oldest known document in Maltese is "Il Cantilena," a poem
from the 15th century written by Pietro Caxaro.[12]

Final vowels with grave accents (à, è, ì, ò, ù) are also found in some Maltese words of Italian origin,
such as libertà ("freedom"), sigurtà (old Italian: sicurtà, "security"), or soċjetà (Italian: "società;
"society").
The official rules governing the structure of the Maltese language are found in the official guidebook
issued by the Akkademja tal-Malti, the Academy of the Maltese language, which is named Tagħrif
fuq il-Kitba Maltija, that is, Knowledge on Writing in Maltese. The first edition of this book was
printed in 1924 by the Maltese government's printing press. The rules were further expanded in the
1984 book, iż-Żieda mat-Tagħrif, which focused mainly on the increasing influence of Romance and
English words. In 1992 the Academy issued the Aġġornament tat-Tagħrif fuq il-Kitba Maltija, which
updated the previous works. All these works were included in a revised and expanded guidebook
published in 1996.[citation needed]
Nowadays, the National Council for the Maltese Language (KNM) is the main regulator of the
Maltese language (see Maltese Language Act, below) and not the Akkademja tal-Malti anymore.
However, these orthography rules are still valid and official.[citation needed]
[edit] Written Maltese
Since Maltese evolved after the Normans ended the Arab rule of the islands, there was little interest
in developing a written form of the language for a long time after the Arabs' expulsion in the
eleventh century. This was caused by the clergy's preference of Latin or Italian vernacular over the
local tongue, and since the clergy was the educated class of Maltese society, their preference for
foreign tongues undermined the early development of Maltese in literature and prose. Furthermore,
as the islands were almost[14] always under foreign rule, those in power preferred the advancement of
their own mother language over the native tongue. Throughout the centuries, the use of the Maltese
language was often discouraged with varying degrees of enthusiasm and success, ostensibly in the
hope that supplanting it would strengthen ties with the country which held possession of Malta at that
particular point in time, a concept which has continually surfaced in the islands and is also present to
a certain extent in the present day. Under the rule of the Order of the Knights of Malta both French
and an embryonic version of Italian were used for official documents and correspondence. During
the British colonial period the use of English was encouraged through education, while Italian was
regarded as the next most important language.
It was not until 1934 that Maltese was even recognised as an official language, more as a British
coup to offset Italian influence from that increasingly belligerent country than as a genuine belief in
the importance of Maltese in the islands' administration. Uniquely, no other European country lacked
a standardised written form of its language until the nineteenth century, when philologists and
academics such as Mikiel Anton Vassalli made a concerted effort to transcribe spoken Maltese in a
comprehensive written form. One would hence have to note that the lack of an established written
tradition affected Maltese culture and fueled apathy towards the Maltese language in certain
segments of the nation.
[edit] Sample
From the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe:
English Maltese
L-Unjoni hija mibnija fuq il-valuri ta' rispett għad-
The Union is founded on the values of respect
dinjità tal-bniedem, ta' libertà, ta' demokrazija, ta'
for human dignity, freedom, democracy,
ugwaljanza, ta' l-istat tad-dritt u tar-rispett għad-
equality, the rule of law and respect for human

and equality between women and men prevail.
solidarjetà u l-ugwaljanza bejn in-nisa u l-irġiel.
[edit] Vocabulary
Although originally a dialect of Arabic with its predominately Semitic vocabulary, long-term contact
with non-Arabic sources of influence, especially English and several Romance languages, have
changed the nature of the lexicon to include a high percentage of non-Semitic words.[15] The present
lexicon is based on a historical foundation of Siculo-Arabic roots with a large (now majority)
percentage of Sicilian, Italian, English, and French roots and stems.
The historical influence of Maltese vocabulary is 52% Italian/Sicilian, 32% Siculo-Arabic, and 6%
English, with some of the remainder being French.[3][16] In this respect it is similar to English (a
Germanic language heavily influenced by Norman French). The result of this highly uneven
distribution of loanwords throughout the language is that a speaker of the loanword-source language
(in this case Romance or English language speakers) can find a number of familiar words in, for
instance, the main page of the Maltese Wikipedia or comprehend the subject of a newspaper article,
but cannot understand even such basic Maltese sentences such as Ir-raġel qiegħed fid-dar (The man
is in the house). This situation resembles that of a monolingual English speaker, who will often be
able to guess the content of something in French if it is formal academic writing, but not understand
much simpler sentences.
[edit] Romance
An analysis of the etymology of the 41,000 words in Aquilina's Maltese-English Dictionary shows
that words of Romance origin make up 52% of the Maltese vocabulary,[3] although other sources
claim from as low as 40% to as large as 55%.[17][18] These vocabulary tend to deal with more
complicated concepts. They are mostly derived from Sicilian and thus exhibit Sicilian phonetic
characteristics, such as /u/ in place of /o/ and /i/ in place of /e/ (e.g. tiatru not teatro and fidi not
fede). Also, as with Old Sicilian, /ʃ/ (English 'sh') is written 'x' and this produces spellings such as:
ambaxxata /ambaʃːaːta/ ('embassy'), xena /ʃeːna/ ('scene' cf. Italian ambasciata, scena).

[edit] Siculo-Arabic
There are also strong similarities between Maltese and Sicilian words of Arabic origin, on account of
the comparable cultural situation between the two countries. Although Siculo-Arabic is extinct in
Sicily, it survived on Malta and developed into what is now the Maltese language.[19].

[edit] Quranic Arabic
Żammit (2000) found that 40% of a sample of 1,820 Quranic Arabic roots were found in Maltese, a
lower percentage than found in Moroccan (58%) and Lebanese Arabic (72%).[20] An analysis of the
etymology of the 41,000 words in Aquilina's Maltese-English Dictionary shows that 32% of the
Maltese vocabulary is of Arabic origin[3], although another source claims 40%.[17] Usually, words
expressing basic concepts and ideas, such as raġel (man), mara (woman), tifel (boy), dar (house),
xemx (sun), sajf (summer), are of Arabic origin.
The Maltese language has merged many of the original Arabic consonants together, in particular the
emphatic consonants, with others that are common in European languages. Thus, original Arabic /d/,
/ð/, and /dˤ/ all merged into Maltese /d/. The vowels, however, separated from the three in Arabic (/a
i u/) to the five that are common in most other European languages (/a ɛ i o u/). Some unstressed
short vowels have been elided. The common Arabic greeting as-salāmu 'alaykum would look like is-
sliem għalikom in Maltese.
[edit] English
It is estimated that English loanwords, which are becoming more commonplace, make up 20% of the
Maltese vocabulary [17], although other sources claim the value amount to only 6%. This percentage
discrepancy is due to the fact that a number of new English loanwords are sometimes not officially
considered part of the Maltese vocabulary, hence they are not included in certain dictionaries.[3]
English loanwords are generally transliterated, although standard English pronunciation is virtually
always retained. Below are a few examples:
Maltese English
Futbol Football
Baskitbol Basketball
Mowbajl Mobile [Phone]
Lift Lift/Elevator
Friġġ Fridge
[edit] Grammar
Maltese grammar is fundamentally derived from Siculo-Arabic, although Romance and English noun
pluralization patterns are also used on borrowed words.
[edit] Adjectives & Adverbs
As in Italian and other Romance languages, adjectives follow nouns. There are no separately formed
native adverbs, and word order is fairly flexible. As in Siculo-Arabic, both nouns and adjectives of
Semitic origin take the definite article (for example It-tifel il-kbir, lit. "The boy the elder"="The elder
boy"). This rule does not apply to adjectives of Romance origin.
[edit] Nouns
Nouns are pluralized and also have a dual marker. Semitic plurals are complex; if they are regular,
they are marked by -iet/-ijiet, e.g., art, artijiet "lands (territorial possessions or property)" (cf. Arabic
-at and Hebrew -ot) or -in (cf. Arabic -īn and Hebrew -im). If irregular, they fall in the pluralis
fractus category, in which a word is pluralized by internal vowel changes: ktieb, kotba "books",
raġel, irġiel "man","men". Words of Romance origin are usually pluralized in two manners: addition
of -i or -jiet (for example lingwa, lingwi "languages", from Sicilian lingua, lingui.) Words of English
origin are pluralized by adding either an "-s" or "-jiet", for example tojlit, tojlits from the English
toilet, toilets and friġġ, friġis from the word fridge. Some words can be pluralized with either of the
suffixes to denote the plural. A few words borrowed from English can amalgamate both suffixes
together, like brikksa from the English brick, which can adopt either collective form brikks or the
plural form brikksiet.
[edit] Verbs
Verbs still show a triliteral Semitic pattern, in which a verb is conjugated with prefixes, suffixes, and
infixes (for example ktibna, Arabic katabna, Hebrew katavnu "we wrote"). There are two tenses:
present and perfect. The Maltese verb system incorporates Romance verbs and adds Arabic suffixes
and prefixes to them (for example iddeċidejna "we decided" < (i)ddeċieda 'Romance verb' + -ejna,
an Arabic first person plural perfect marker). Arabic only rarely does this, although several Arabic
dialects like Tunisian do.
[edit] Media
Main article: Languages of Malta#Media
With Malta being a multilingual country, the usage of Maltese in the mass media is shared with other
European languages, namely English and Italian. The majority of television stations broadcasted
from Malta are in English or Maltese, although broadcasts from Italy in Italian are also received on
the islands. Similarly, there are more Maltese language radio programs than English ones broadcast
from Malta, but again, as with television, Italian broadcasts are also picked up. Maltese generally
receives equal usage in newspaper periodicals to English.[21]
The use of the Maltese language on the internet is not altogether common and the number of
websites written in Maltese are few. Out of a survey conducted on 13 Maltese websites, 12 of them
were English only, and the remainder was bilingual with neither language being Maltese.[22]
[edit] Future
Possible scenarios for the future of the Maltese language are a subject of speculation among scholars.
Dialectal variation in Maltese is in decline, moving towards a more standardized usage.
[edit] Death
Amongst the population, a language shift towards English has begun,[21] and some argue that Maltese
is comparable to a language like Irish, which is being displaced by English in its native country.[23] If
this trend continues, Maltese may eventually become redundant in place of English.
[edit] Morphing into an Anglo-Italian mix
A tendency in modern Maltese is to adopt further influence from English and Italian.[21] Maltese
people tend to prefer to bring their children up in English, while the number of people speaking
Italian has also been noted to be increasing due to media outlets, leaving a situation in which if
Maltese does survive, it may do so as an even further mix of English and Italian.[23]
[edit] Spelling
The media is a large factor in influencing the language, since most media content received in Malta
is in English or Italian. Also, online use of Maltese, being very limited, has not allowed for specific
requirements of the language, meaning that when typing, 'ċ' is often replaced with 'c', and 'ħ' with 'h'.
The undotted 'z' is often written as 'tz' to distinguish it from 'ż' which is written as 'z', while 'ġ' is
written as English influenced 'dj' to distinguish it from undotted 'g'. The letter 'y' is also increasingly
used to write the letter 'j', which has instead come to be more used for 'ġ', while there is also a
tendency to leave out 'j' from situations such as "-ija".[citation needed]

Maltese (Malti)
Maltese is a Semitic language spoken by about 350,000 people on the Mediterranean islands of
Malta and Gozo.
The Maltese language developed from the Arabic spoken by the Arabs who invaded and occupied
Malta in 870 AD. Malta was occupied by French-speaking Normans in 1090. Between 1530 and
1798 Malta served as the base for the Knights Hospitaller of St John, who spoke Italian and Latin.
Malta became a British colony in 1800 and the British tried to replace Italian with English as the
local language.
After Malta become independent in 1964 both English and Maltese were given official status and
Maltese became the national language of Malta. Today Maltese is used in most sectors of public life,
including parliament, the church, the press and other media, and in general conversation. English is
generally the preferred medium of instruction in schools, especially at the higher levels of the
educational system.
The first known literary text in Maltese, II Cantilena, appeared during the 15th century. The first
Maltese language was a catechism by F. Wizzino, and was published in 1752.

 għ is silent but pharyngealizes and lengthens vowels
 h has a simliar function to għ
 għ and h at the end of a word are both pronounced as ħ
 għh = ħħ
 Final consonants are devoiced: b = [p], d = [t], ġ = [ʧ], g = [k], v = [f], ż = [s]
 i before għ, h, ħ or q = [iː]
 m followed by a consonant at the beginning of a word is pronounced im, e.g. mnejn =

Il-Bibbja (2004)
1. U l-art kollha kienet ilsien wieħed u kliem wieħed.
2. Meta l-bnedmin telqu mil-lvant sabu wita f‟art Singħar u baqgħu hemm.

5. U l-Mulej niżel jara l-belt u t-torri li kienu qegħdin jibnu l-bnedmin.

Definite Articles
[Top]
The only article used in Maltese is the Definite Article, '-l'. It is attached to the word it precedes with
a hyphen. For example, l-g±olja means "the hill". Without the article, g±olja just means "a hill". The
definite article therefore indicates that you refer to a particular instance of the subject. The definite
article is placed before words beginning with "g±", or "h" and a vowel.
l-g±erf (wisdom), l-hena (happiness), l-arblu (the pole)
The definite article is also used before words starting with two consonants where the first one is
m,n,r,s, or x. The noun usually takes a euphonic 'i' before it. For example:
l-im±adda (the pillow), l-Imnarja (the feast of Saint Peter and Saint Paul), l-iskola (the school), l-
ixkora (the sack)
The article takes the euphonic letter "i" infront of the Qamrin consonants ( b,f,g(with a dot on it),
g,g±, ±, h j, k, l, m, n,q, v,w).
Examples:
il-kelb (the dog),in-nemla (the ant)
qamar = a moon
il-qamar = The moon
ktieb = a book
il-ktieb = The book
The article is absorbed infront of the Xemxin consonants ( å ,d,n,r,s,t,x,z,¿ ). That is, instead of an l,
the first consonant of the word is used.
iz-ziju not il-ziju (the uncle)
il- is the form of the article before Qamrin (Moony) consonants, such as Q which begins the word
'Qamar' (moon). Words that start with s, x, z, ¿, c, d, r, or n are Xemxin consonants. Before these
consonants, the second letter of the articles is always the same as the letter which begins the word.
For example:
xemx = a sun
ix-xemx = the sun
xemx starts with an x, therefore ix- must be used. (This is why these are called the Xemxin.)
ras = a head
ir-ras = the head
ras starts with an r, therefore ir- must be used.
Here are all of the Xemxin:
ic-cawla = the jackdaw (Corvus monedula. A bird something like a crow)
id-dudu = the worm
in-nanna = the grandmother
ir-raõel = the man
is-serp = the snake
it-temp = the weather
ix-xemx = the sun
iz-ziju = the uncle
i¿-¿ring = the frog
All other consonants are Qamrin (Moony).

When there is a vowel before the definite article, the "i" in the article is dropped.
For example:
It-tifel kiel it-tuffieha ( the boy ate the apple), but
It-tfal kielu t-tuffieh ( the children ate the apples)
(not: It-tfal kielu it-tuffieh.)
The "i" is also dropped when the article preceeds a word beginning with a vowel.
For example:
l-arloõõ (the clock)
l-iljunfant (the elephant)
l-o±xon (the fat one)

Plurality
[Top]
 Nouns
ktieb - a book
kotba - books

Gender
[Top]
In Maltese, all nouns are masculine or feminine. There is no neuter in Maltese. Adjectives and
pronouns must take the gender of the noun they refer to.
Example:
tifel o±xon ( a fat boy)
tifla ±oxna ( a fat girl)
Pawlu da±al il-Belt
Pawlu went to Valletta.
Hu mar sal-Monti
He went to the Monti.
'Hu' is a pronoun and it is masculine. It agrees with Pawlu.
Pawla marret il-Belt
Pawla went to Valletta.
Hi marret sal-Monti
She went to the Monti.
Notice that the verb is marret because Pawla is feminine. Only the third person singular verb must
agree with the noun in number and gender. Hi (She) must agree with the noun to which it is linked,
ie, 'Pawla'.
also, the verb 'qieg±ed' means 'I stay/stand' for a male, but the verb 'qieg±da' is used for a female.
'qed' means the same thing for either.

Negation/Affirmation
[Top]
You can negate a word by putting ma (not) in front of it, and adding an 'x' to the word. Example:
nifhem
-> I understand.
ma nifhimx
->I do not understand.
But:
hux
-> It is.
m'hux
->It isn't. (Contraction of ma hux

Verb Conjugation
