The Maltese indefinite article

The indefinite article is what we call the words 'a' and 'an' in English. The English indefinite article 'a' does not exist in Maltese. Unlike English, a noun on its own can be considered indefinite without the need for a specific word to show this.

Examples

bint
a daughter
tifla
a girl
bini
a building
bieb
a door
ħabib
a friend

Step 3 : The indefinite article in Maltese

The indefinite article is what we call the word a in English. The indefinite article is used with nouns in English (a book, a chair, a door etc.). To get started in Maltese, pick just 3 important nouns. We suggest you learn the nouns ktieb, siġġu and bieb (book, chair, door). Once you have learned these nouns, you can then learn how to use each noun with the indefinite article. This is easy in Maltese, because in Maltese, there is no indefinite article. So the word ktieb can mean book or a book, the word siġġu can mean chair or a chair and the word bieb can mean door or a door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the indefinite article in Maltese including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the indefinite article with the Maltese nouns ktieb, siġġu and bieb, you're ready to move on to Step 4 (the definite article in Maltese).
