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/
Noun
tikka f (plural tikek, paucal tikkiet)
- point, dot, spot
- (often in negation) a bit, a little
- Ma nafdahx tikka.
- I don’t trust him one bit.
