żvanixxa
Maltese
Etymology
From Italian svanire.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /zvaˈnɪʃ.ʃa/
Verb
żvanixxa (imperfect jiżvanixxi)
- to disappear, vanish
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 żvana above).
