Mt2akked means "sure" or "certain". It agrees with the subject: mt2akda (feminine), mt2akdin (plural). It is often used on its own as a question: "mt2akked?" (are you sure?). It also introduces a clause with elli: "ana mt2akked elli bech yji" (I am sure he will come). For the negative, man- is used with a personal suffix: "manich mt2akked" (I am not sure). One also says "mouch mt2akked". It is heard in all registers. For very strong certainty, "miya bel miya" (one hundred percent) is sometimes added.
