kuljum / kull ġimgħa

A Repeated Time

Level 2

Write kuljum together; kull ġimgħa has a singular time noun.

How It Works

Kuljum is the conventional word for “every day.” Kull ġimgħa combines “every” with singular “week.” Write the weekly expression as two words. Recurrence does not make the actor plural: one person can repeat an activity. Verb agreement follows the actual subject.

Naqra kuljum, “I read every day,” uses the imperfect for a current habit. Kull ġimgħa nixtru ħaxix mis-suq, “Every week we buy vegetables from the market,” combines a singular time noun with a plural actor.

Sara kienet taħdem kuljum, “Sara used to work every day,” uses feminine singular kienet and an imperfect to place the habit in the past. Compare Illum xtrajt siġġu, “Today I bought a chair,” with the weekly purchase example. The time phrase distinguishes a particular day from recurrence; the verb construction supplies the temporal viewpoint.

Examples (3)

  1. Naqra kuljum.

    I read every day.

    Daily recurrence accompanies a first-person singular habitual verb.

  2. Kull ġimgħa nixtru ħaxix mis-suq.

    Every week we buy vegetables from the market.

    The time noun is singular while the buyers are plural.

Learn This First

Introduce daily and weekly recurrence through kuljum and the separately written kull ġimgħa. The singular time unit counts occasions, while verb agreement identifies one reader, plural buyers or Sara.
