note that some of these are old pure Maltese words (meaning that they don’t have their roots from other languages)

malteseboy:

Taqtax qalbek (Don’t cut your heart) - It means “don’t give up.“ For example: “qiegħed naqta qalbi” (I’m cutting my heart) would mean “I’m giving up.“ 

Niġi, naqa’ u nqum (I come, fall and get up) - It means “I don’t care” but a little more harsher. A person would say “jien niġi, naqa’ u nqum minnek!” (I come, fall and get up from you!) if they’re in a fight with someone. 

Ħawwadt ‘l Alla (You mixed God) - You would say this to a person who messed up so much, that even God is confused. 

Tagħżaq fl-ilma (Ploughing in water) - Ploughing in water won’t really get you anywhere, and that’s exactly what it means. “Qiegħed nagħżaq fl-ilma!” (I’m ploughing in water!); I’m not getting anywhere!“ 

Xemx taqli l-ankri (Sun frying anchors) - You’d probably say this on a hot summer’s day. "Tmurx barra għax ix-xemx taqli l-ankri!” (Don’t go out because the sun is frying anchors!) 

Iddur mal-lewża (Going round the almond) - To beat about the bush. You would say “toqodx iddur(li) mal-lewża!” (don’t go round the almond!) to someone who is taking too long to say something. 

Għajni marret bija (My eye went with me) - This literally means “I fell asleep.” “Kont qed naqra ktieb u għajni marret bija (I was reading a book and my eye went with me). 

Blajt kanna (I swallowed a pipe) - To be in a really difficult situation. 

Fik il-ħobż (Bread is in you/You have bread on you) - This is used a lot and there isn’t really a direct translation but you would say this to a person who does something irritating, or inconvenient. For example your sister stole your dress to wear for the night and you’d be like "fik il-ħobż!" 

Ġejt fi kliemi (You came into my words) - You’d say this to someone who was contradicting you and saying other wise. It’s like "I told you so!”

Now using the words I used in the post, I want you try to translate these sentences in English:

1. Jien għandi l-għadma tal-kelb.
   
2. Hu kellu l-karozza ta’ John.
   
3. It-tifla tal-baħar.
