Is the verb to be making you lose all your hair? Yes, indeed. Maltese isn’t easy. It’s always a good idea to start learning a language by learning the verb to be. So how is it exactly in Maltese?
Here’s the list:
Actually, these are the pronouns: I, you, he, etc… So you have to think the verb to be with it. If there is another verb in the sentence, the pronoun is probably added to that verb.
This is to stress the fact that ‘they’ are working. Not someone else. So the pronoun is only used to stress who is performing the action in the sentence. If it’s not important to stress it, Maltese say:
So if there is no other verb in the sentence, it’s to be.
Now: one more question. Is it jien or jiena? Int or inti? Well, the short version is used to stress the difference between the person as an opposition to someone else.
