Verb[edit]

facci

  1. compound of fa', the second-person singular (tu) imperative form of fare, with ci

Anagrams[edit]

Sicilian[edit]

na facci

Etymology[edit]

From Latin faciēs. Whatever the reason for the /t͡tʃ/ in this word (cf. the regular azzaru < aciārium), it is in fact universal across southern Italy.[1] That, along with the apparent absence—at least in the 1920's—of a Sicilian variant with final /-a/ (again per the AIS), makes a borrowing from Italian faccia unlikely.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /ˈfatt͡ʃi/
  • Hyphenation: fàc‧ci

Noun[edit]

facci f (plural facci)

  1. face
