Verb edit
biel (imperfect jbul)
- (chiefly informal) to pee, piss, urinate
- Synonyms: għadda l-awrina, għamel l-awrina, (rarely) awrina
Usage notes edit
- This verb is usually equivalent to English “pee” or “piss” (though not as vulgar as the latter). However, biel is at times found in formal texts, as it is the inherited Arabic word and may thus be favoured in purist style.
