Maltese
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Italian differire.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]ddifferixxa (imperfect jiddifferixxi, past participle differit)
Conjugation
[edit]- 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 ddiffera above).
