As a beginner, learning about regular verbs will empower you to express yourself in everyday situations, whether you're ordering food, asking for directions, or just having a chat with locals. So, let's get started!

Importance of Regular Verbs[edit | edit source]

Regular verbs in Maltese follow a consistent pattern when conjugated, making them easier to learn and use. By grasping these patterns, you'll build a solid foundation for your language skills. Regular verbs are the most common types of verbs you'll encounter, and mastering them will significantly enhance your ability to communicate in Maltese.

Structure of the Lesson[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will cover the following topics:

1. Overview of Regular Verbs

2. Conjugation Patterns in the Present Tense

3. Examples of Regular Verbs

4. Exercises for Practice

5. Detailed Solutions and Explanations

Overview of Regular Verbs[edit | edit source]

In Maltese, regular verbs typically end in the suffixes -a (for first conjugation) or -i (for second conjugation). The root of the verb remains unchanged while the endings change according to the subject pronouns. This consistency is what makes regular verbs so approachable for learners.

Conjugation Patterns in the Present Tense[edit | edit source]

Let’s break down the conjugation patterns for both groups of regular verbs.

First Conjugation Verbs (ending in -a)[edit | edit source]

First conjugation regular verbs generally have the following endings in the present tense:

Jiena (I): -ni

Inti (You, singular): -k

Hu (He): -u

Hi (She): -ha

Aħna (We): -na

Intom (You, plural): -kom

Hum (They): -hom

Here’s a sample conjugation using the verb ħaddem (to work):

Maltese	Pronunciation	English
Jien inħaddem	jiːɛn inħaddɛm	I work
Inti taħdem	inˈti taħdɛm	You work (singular)
Hu jaħdem	hu jaħdɛm	He works
Hi taħdem	hi taħdɛm	She works
Aħna naħdmu	ˈaħna naħdmu	We work
Intom taħdmu	inˈtom taħdmu	You work (plural)
Hum jaħdmu	hum jaħdmu	They work

Second Conjugation Verbs (ending in -i)[edit | edit source]

Second conjugation regular verbs typically have different endings:

Jiena (I): -ni

Inti (You, singular): -k

Hu (He): -j

Hi (She): -ha

Aħna (We): -na

Intom (You, plural): -kom

Hum (They): -hom

For example, let’s use the verb kellem (to speak):

Maltese	Pronunciation	English
Jien nikellem	jiːɛn niˈkɛlɛm	I speak
Inti tkellem	inˈti tkɛlɛm	You speak (singular)
Hu jikellem	hu jiˈkɛlɛm	He speaks
Hi tkellem	hi tkɛlɛm	She speaks
Aħna nkellmu	ˈaħna nˈkɛlmu	We speak
Intom tkellmu	inˈtom tkɛlmu	You speak (plural)
Hum jikellmu	hum jiˈkɛlmu	They speak

-In this lesson, we will learn how to conjugate regular verbs in Maltese in the present tense. Verbs are a fundamental part of language, and they allow us to express actions and states of being. Knowing how to conjugate verbs correctly is essential for effective communication in Maltese.

Regular verbs are the most common types of verbs you'll encounter, and mastering them will significantly enhance your ability to communicate in Maltese.
+=== Structure of the Lesson ===
+In this lesson, we will cover the following topics:
+. Overview of Regular Verbs
+. Conjugation Patterns in the Present Tense

+. Detailed Solutions and Explanations
+== Overview of Regular Verbs ==
+In Maltese, regular verbs typically end in the suffixes ''-a'' (for first conjugation) or ''-i'' (for second conjugation). The root of the verb remains unchanged while the endings change according to the subject pronouns. This consistency is what makes regular verbs so approachable for learners.
+=== Conjugation Patterns in the Present Tense ===
+Let’s break down the conjugation patterns for both groups of regular verbs.
+==== First Conjugation Verbs (ending in -a) ====
+First conjugation regular verbs generally have the following endings in the present tense:
+* '''Jiena (I)''': -ni
+* '''Inti (You, singular)''': -k
-== Verbs in Maltese ==
+* '''Hu (He)''': -u
-In Maltese, a verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being. Verbs are usually composed of a root or stem, to which different endings are added to indicate tense, mood, and person.
+* '''Hi (She)''': -ha
-There are three main types of verbs in Maltese: regular verbs, irregular verbs, and defective verbs. In this lesson, we will focus on regular verbs.
+* '''Aħna (We)''': -na
-== Conjugating Regular Verbs in the Present Tense ==
+* '''Intom (You, plural)''': -kom
-Regular verbs in Maltese follow a predictable pattern when conjugated in the present tense. To conjugate a regular verb, you need to know the root or stem of the verb and the appropriate endings for each person and gender.
+* '''Hum (They)''': -hom
-Let's take the verb "ktieb" (write) as an example:
+Here’s a sample conjugation using the verb ''ħaddem'' (to work):
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Maltese !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| Jien inħaddem || jiːɛn inħaddɛm || I work
+|-
+| Inti taħdem || inˈti taħdɛm || You work (singular)
 |-
-| ktieb  || /k-tiĕb/ || write
-|}
-We can conjugate "ktieb" in the present tense as follows:
+| Hu jaħdem || hu jaħdɛm || He works
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Person !! Singular !! Plural
 |-
-| First Person || Niktib || Niktbu
+| Hi taħdem || hi taħdɛm || She works
 |-
-| Second Person || Tiktib || Tiktibu
+| Aħna naħdmu || ˈaħna naħdmu || We work
 |-
-| Third Person Masculine || Jiktib || Jiktbu
+| Intom taħdmu || inˈtom taħdmu || You work (plural)
 |-
-| Third Person Feminine || Tiktib || Tiktbu
+| Hum jaħdmu || hum jaħdmu || They work
 |}
-As you can see, the endings for each person and gender are added to the root of the verb "ktieb" to form the present tense conjugation.
+==== Second Conjugation Verbs (ending in -i) ====
+Second conjugation regular verbs typically have different endings:
+* '''Jiena (I)''': -ni
+* '''Inti (You, singular)''': -k
+* '''Hu (He)''': -j
+* '''Hi (She)''': -ha
+* '''Aħna (We)''': -na
+* '''Intom (You, plural)''': -kom
+* '''Hum (They)''': -hom
-Let's look at another example with the verb "saħħa" (be healthy):
+For example, let’s use the verb ''kellem'' (to speak):
 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Maltese !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| Jien nikellem || jiːɛn niˈkɛlɛm || I speak
+|-
+| Inti tkellem || inˈti tkɛlɛm || You speak (singular)
+|-
+| Hu jikellem || hu jiˈkɛlɛm || He speaks
+|-
+| Hi tkellem || hi tkɛlɛm || She speaks
+|-
+| Aħna nkellmu || ˈaħna nˈkɛlmu || We speak
+|-
+| Intom tkellmu || inˈtom tkɛlmu || You speak (plural)
 |-
-| saħħa || /să-ħħa/ || be healthy
+| Hum jikellmu || hum jiˈkɛlmu || They speak
 |}
-We can conjugate "saħħa" in the present tense as follows:
+== Examples of Regular Verbs ==
+Let’s look at some additional examples of regular verbs in both conjugations, to solidify your understanding.
+=== First Conjugation Example Verbs ===
+. ''Ħaddem'' (to work)
+. ''Ikkunsma'' (to consume)
+. ''Ittajjar'' (to fly)
+. ''Biddel'' (to change)
+. ''Ħaqq'' (to create)
+=== Second Conjugation Example Verbs ===
+. ''Kellem'' (to speak)
+. ''Sewwi'' (to fix)
+. ''Niżżel'' (to download)
+. ''Żid'' (to add)
+. ''Tgħallem'' (to learn)
+Here’s a table summarizing these examples:
 {| class="wikitable"
-! Person !! Singular !! Plural
+! Maltese Verb !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| Ħaddem || ħadˈdɛm || to work
+|-
+| Ikkunsma || ikˈkunzma || to consume
 |-
-| First Person || Ninsaħħu || Ninsaħħu
+| Ittajjar || itˈtajjar || to fly
 |-
-| Second Person || Tinsaħħu || Tinsaħħew
+| Biddel || ˈbiddɛl || to change
 |-
-| Third Person Masculine || Jinsaħħu || Jinsaħħu
+| Ħaqq || ħaqq || to create
 |-
-| Third Person Feminine || Tinsaħħu || Tinsaħħew
-|}
-Again, we can see that the endings for each person and gender are added to the root of the verb "saħħa" to form the present tense conjugation.
+| Kellem || ˈkɛlɛm || to speak
-== Regular Verb Endings ==
+|-
-The endings for regular verbs in the present tense depend on the person and gender of the subject. Here are the endings for each person and gender:
+| Sewwi || ˈsɛwɪ || to fix
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Person !! Masculine Singular !! Feminine Singular !! Plural
 |-
-| First Person || -ni || -ni || -na
+| Niżżel || ˈniʒʒɛl || to download
 |-
-| Second Person || -ek || -ek || -u
+| Żid || ziːd || to add
 |-
-| Third Person || -u || -et || -u
+| Tgħallem || tɡaˈlɛm || to learn
 |}
-As you can see, the masculine singular and plural endings are the same, while the feminine singular has a different ending (-et) from the masculine singular and plural endings.
