- Setgħet ġibdet lejn il-Mellieħa, mit-triq jew mill-passaġġ, jew qabdet it-triq tal-Imġiebaħ, inkella minn ħdejn il-lukanda għan-naħa t’Għajn Ħadid, jew jista’ jkun anke telqet lejn Forti Campbell iktar kmieni, qabel ma wasalt jien.

- 1970, Anton Buttigieg, “It-Tallab”, in Fl-Arena:
- Wara l-bibien,
fit-tul tat-toroq twal,
batejt
il-għeja
il-qtigħ ta’ qalb,
batejt fuq kollox il-mistħija;
iżda ġarrabt ukoll
il-ferħ u l-għaxqa
li kull tallab iħoss
x’ħin jasal wisq għajjien bil-ħorġa f’idu
bil-ħobż għand ommu mġewħa.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
- way, route (set of directions that one follows)
- opportunity
- (figuratively) way of life
Usage notes
- The possessive forms of the singular are built as though the basic form were *triqa, e.g. triqti (“my way”), triqithom (“their way”). The possessive forms of the plural are built from the paucal, thus triqati etc.
