DwariAbout me

Bonġu! Jien Marija Borg. Good morning! I am Marija Borg.

Din id-dar tiegħi. This is my house.

Jien naf kollox. I know everything.

Ella n-neputija tiegħi. Ella is my granddaughter.

Ċikku mhux il-qattus tiegħi. Ċikku is not my cat.

L-istorja tiegħiMy story

Jien Marija, u n-numru sebgħa hu d-dar tiegħi.I am Marija, and number 7 is my house.

Ilni ngħix hawn ħamsin sena, u għallimt lil nofs dan ir-raħal jaqra.I have lived here for fifty years, and I taught half of this town to read.

Naf min jiġi d-dar tard, min jinsa jagħlaq il-bieb ta' barra, u min jieħu l-aħħar ħobża mill-kafetterija.I know who comes home late, who forgets to close the front door, and who takes the last loaf at the café.

In-nies jgħidu li jien naf kollox.People say I know everything.

Mhux veru.That is not true.

Jien naf kollox fuq din id-dar biss.I only know everything about this building.

In-neputija tiegħi, Ella, tiġi għandi kuljum wara l-iskola.My granddaughter Ella comes to me every day after school.

Il-qattus mhux tiegħi.The cat is not mine.

Hu jaħseb li d-dar tiegħu, imma mhix.He thinks the house is his, but it is not.
