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)

  1. point, dot, spot
  2. (often in negation) a bit, a little
