kkostitwixxa
Maltese
Alternative forms
- kkostitwa
Etymology
Borrowed from Italian costituire.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /(ɪ)k.kɔs.tɪtˈwɪʃ.ʃa/
Verb
kkostitwixxa (imperfect jikkostitwixxi, past participle kkostitwit or kostitwit)
- to constitute
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 kkostitwa above).
