“Kelma Kelma hi paġna dwar il-ġmiel tal-Malti, dwar il-ġmiel li tista’ tagħmel bl-ilsien Malti jekk tieqaf ftit u tagħraf xi ġmiel ta’ lsien hu l-Malti”

Kelma Kelma bdiet f’Jannar 2013 bħala paġna fuq Facebook immexxija minn Dr Michael Spagnol li tiġbor bosta aspetti interessanti tal-ilsien Malti, bħall-kelma tal-ġurnata, il-qwiel, l-idjomi, it-taqbil tat-tfal, il-logħob bil-kliem, u tippreżentahom b’mod frisk u dħuli permezz ta’ ritratti żgħar ikkuluriti. Maż-żmien, ħarġet mid-dinja tal-mezzi soċjali u kompliet tippromwovi l-Malti madwarna, fl-iskejjel, fuq ir-radju u t-televiżjoni, f’gazzetti u rivisti, u fuq il-palk, bejn nota u oħra. Fl-2018, fil-ħames anniversarju tagħha, tnieda s-sit kelmakelma.com li hu ġabra ta’ tagħrif dwar il-vokabolarju, il-grammatika, l-istorja, u ħafna kurżitajiet oħra li jixħtu dawl fuq il-ġmiel tal-ilsien Malti.

Xi ktibtu dwar Kelma Kelma

Kelma Kelma hi r-risposta għal min jaħseb li l-lingwa Maltija antikwata. Prosit”

Charmaine Tanti

“Paġna li tinfurmak, tnissillek tbissima u fuq kollox tagħti spinta lill-Malti”

Alexandra Zammit

“If you’ve not come across Kelma Kelma before, you’re welcome. They’re the Maltese slice of the Internet we’ve been waiting for covering everything from differences in Maltese and Gozitan words to playing on Malta’s bilingualism to even dishing out Maltese terms for emoticons!”

– Lovin Malta

“Prosit ħafna tal-kelma friska u tfuħ bħall-ħobż Malti ta’ kull filgħodu”

Prof Manwel Mifsud

“Jien li nħobb il-Malti, paġna bħal din tinżilli għasel, prosit”

Alfred Magro

In an online world flooded with English, American English and rubbish English, one bright chap felt (good) Maltese was lacking and came up with the clever idea of creating a page called Kelma Kelma, a virtual community which seeks to promote the Maltese language in a fun and accessible way.”  

– Times of Malta

Kelma Kelma hi bħal namra ħelwa li ta’ kuljum tgħinek terġa’ tiskopri l-kelma Maltija”

– Elaine Muscat

“Proġett interessanti, riċerkat sew u preżentat tajjeb. Kuljum nitgħallem xi ħaġa ġdida jew ifakkarni f’xi frażi li tnissel tbissima.”

– Ramon Casha

“The Facebook page Kelma Kelma has created hundreds of witty posts that teach us about the origins of Maltese words, the quirkier side to our language and, where necessary, create original phrases for new local trends.”  

Lovin Malta

“Nixtieq ngħid kemm nieħu gost b’din il-paġna. M’għadnix naħseb li l-lingwa Maltija hija fqira. Grazzi”

Nathalie Doneo

“The aims behind Kelma Kelma are manifold: posting samples of the way Maltese used to be written or old school text books adds a touch of nostalgia. Riddles like b’żewġ widnejn u ma tisma’ xejn serve to revive tradition and remind us of expressions we may have forgotten.”

– Times of Malta

“Michael Spagnol: Creator of the Facebook page Kelma Kelma, for making us fall back in love with the Maltese language and at the same time offering some fun education.”
