żejża

Maltese

Etymology

Inherited from dialectal Arabic. Compare Algerian Arabic زيزة‎ (zīza, “breast”, also “vulva; little boy’s penis”).

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ˈzɛj.za/

Noun

żejża f (plural żejżiet)

  1. a woman’s breast
    Synonym: sider (both breasts collectively)

Usage notes
  • Żejza does not appear to be a particularly vulgar word in Maltese, though sider is the normal choice unless it is necessary to refer to one organ individually.
