It is very common in speech and readily takes suffixed pronouns: tiyychou, "throw it away", tiyychtou, "I threw it away". Figuratively, tiyyech 3lih means "drop him, get rid of him", about a person or a project. The same written word can also correspond to the noun taych, "recklessness", especially in the expression taych ech-chbab, "the impetuosity of youth". This noun belongs to a more formal register.
