Etymology

From Arabic طَلَبَ (ṭalaba, “to demand, ask, beg”). Though the Arabic verb can mean “to ask God in prayer”, the general sense “to pray” is not present. In Maltese, it is without doubt a semantic influence from Sicilian prigari (both “to ask” and “to pray”), from Latin precari.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈta.lap/
• Rhymes: -alap

Verb

talab (imperfect jitlob, past participle mitlub, verbal noun talb or tlib)

1. to ask for; to request; to beg
2. to pray; to be in prayer
