ggarantixxa

Maltese

Alternative forms
  • ggaranta

Etymology

Borrowed from Italian garantire.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /(ɪ)ɡ.ɡa.ranˈtɪʃ.ʃa/

Verb

ggarantixxa (imperfect jiggarantixxi, past participle ggarantit or garantit)

  1. to guarantee, to warrant, to ensure, to assure

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 ggaranta above).
