Etymology

Borrowed from Sicilian prèdica.

The spelling with -t- is due to the fact that words not integrated into the root system are spelt strictly phonetically unless the underlying phoneme can be deduced from an inflection (but not another related word).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈprɪːt.ka/

Noun

prietka f (plural prietki)

  1. sermon
  2. scolding
