Etymology

From Arabic طَرِيق (ṭarīq, path, way, road) and طَرِيقة (ṭarīqa).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /trɪːʔ/

Noun

triq f (plural toroq, paucal triqat, diminutive trejqa)

  1. street, road, way (any trail of some width for the movement of pedestrians or wheeled vehicles)
  2. way, route (set of directions that one follows)
  3. opportunity
  4. (figuratively) way of life

Usage notes

  • The possessive forms of the singular are built as though the basic form were *triqa, e.g. triqti (my way), triqithom (their way). The possessive forms of the plural are built from the paucal, thus triqati etc.
