From Arabic أَعْطَى (ʔaʕṭā, “to give”).
Verb
ta (imperfect jagħti, past participle mogħti, verbal noun għoti or għati)
- to give
- Tani l-flus. ― He gave me money.
- 1970, Anton Buttigieg, “Il-Pjazza”, in Fl-Arena:
- Kulħadd jimxi, kollox lajma,
jirkeb biss xi sinjur kbir:
bini l-għatx u tawni nixrob
minn ġos-satal fuq il-bir.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
- to undertake, to conduct
- to fight
- Qabdu jagħtu. ― They started to fight.
- to beat, to strike, to hit
- Tawh sakemm qatluh. ― They beat him until they killed him.
- to apply
- to take place
- to describe
- (usually with the verb kell) to owe (money)
- Kemm għandi nagħtik? ― How much do I owe you?
- to become addicted [with -ha ‘dummy pronominal suffix’ and għal]
- Taha għan-nisa ― He is taken to women
Usage notes
- As in Arabic, this verb has ditransitive construction. Thus for “I gave her the money” one says tajtha l-flus, rather than the perhaps expected *tajtilha l-flus.

Usage notes
- It might be a good idea to use ta to translate the English generic you. Also compare French on (“we/us; one; you”).
- ta (“I; me”) is now only used especially in literary or translation works, to convey hostility between the characters, as alternatives (such as tao) may sound awkward or too rough, especially if the age difference between characters is significant (one translation, such as that of Beyblade, may use tao for conversations between children of about the same age, but ta if there is such a difference). It is used in conjunction with mi (informal) or ngươi (formal) for "you".

Pronunciation
Etymology 1
Ultimately from bynnag (“-ever”). Initially, bynnag began preceding rather than following the word it qualfied, for example, beth bynnag (“whatever”) became bynnag beth. The initial g of bynnag was velarised to produce gynnag beth, whereupon the word was reanalysed as the phrase gan nag, a southern colloquial form of gan nad, literally "since (that) not". The apparent inconsistency of negative nag being a part of a phrase with no negative connotations led its replacement with corresponding affirmative taw (“that”), so gan nag beth became gan taw beth. The initial gan was subsequently dropped and the pronunciation of taw /tau̯/ reduced to ta /ta/, as is customary, leading to such forms as ta beth (“whatever”) today.[1]
Particle
ta
- (South Wales, informal) -ever precedes interrogative pronouns to form indefinite pronouns
- Synonym: bynnag
Derived terms
- ta beth (“whatever”)
- ta ble (“wherever”)
- ta faint (“however many”)
- ta pryd (“whenever”)
- ta pwy (“whoever, whomever”)
Etymology 2
Clipping of petai (“if it were”), itself a combination of pe (“if”) + tai (“third-person singular counterfactual impferfect subjunctive of bod (“to be”)”).
