Answer

Hi Brian,
may I ask you to put this question into the notebook.
The answer needs some formatting.

Answer

Its actually a colloquial word which is the shortened version of "Jien m'hinix" meaning I am not... It is never used in written Maltese but very common in the spoken language, especially dialects. Side note on "M'hemmx" - means "there is not" only. To say there is nothing you have to add "xejn" afterwards.
