Meanings
- sure, certain
Usage
Mt2ekked is very common for saying you are certain of something. It agrees: mt2ekda in the feminine, mt2ekdin in the plural. It is often used in questions, wach nta mt2ekked? (are you sure?), or in statements, ana mt2ekked bli… (I'm sure that…). The following clause is introduced by bli or directly by the verb. For the object of the certainty, men is used: mt2ekked men had chi (sure of this). Note: it always describes a person and does not mean "sure" in the sense of "safe, without danger", which is rather mamoun or ma fih khatar.
Example
واش نتا متأكد?
wach nta mt2ekked?
“Are you sure?”
