Maltese

Etymology

Probably inherited from dialectal Arabic تَكّة (takka, one, piece, morsel, bit, tad), from Persian تکه (tekke), provided that the borrowing into Arabic happened early enough. Otherwise an independent onomatopoeia could not be ruled out; compare English tick (checkmark; short moment).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈtɪk.ka/
  • Rhymes: -ɪkka

Noun

tikka f (plural tikek, paucal tikkiet)

  1. point, dot, spot
  2. (often in negation) a bit, a little
    Ma nafdahx tikka.I don’t trust him one bit.
