Maltese
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /(ɪ)f.fjuˈrɪʃ.ʃa/
- Rhymes: -ɪʃʃa
Verb
ffjurixxa (imperfect jiffjurixxi)
- alternative form of ffjorixxa
Conjugation
- The traditional rule is that the syllable -ixx- is lost before stressed endings; that is in the past tense, before -x, and before a pronominal suffix. The contemporary tendency is to either keep -ixx- in all forms or avoid it in all forms (see ffjura above).
