🗣️ Maltese Tuesday: Learn Maltese - Phrase of the Day! 🗣️
Hey Bonġu everyone! 👋 Back with our "Maltese Language Daily Dose"! It's Tuesday, so you know what that means – time to learn a new handy phrase that you can totally use in Malta.
Today we're learning how to casually ask "How's it going?" in Maltese. It's super easy:
Kif inti?
(Keef in-tee?)
That’s how you ask one person "How are you?" in a relaxed, informal way. It’s a go-to greeting you can use in a shop, café, on the street – pretty much anywhere!
Translation:
* English: How are you? / How's it going?
How to use it:
Imagine you pop into a little coffee shop in Malta for your morning caffeine fix. You can say hi to the barista with "Bonġu!" (Good morning!) and add:
You: Bonġu! Kif inti?
(Bon-joo! Keef in-tee?)
Barista: Bonġu! Jien tajjeb, grazzi. U inti?
(Bon-joo! Yeen ty-yeb, grat-see. Oo in-tee?) (Good morning! I'm good, thanks. And you?)
You: Tajjeb ħafna, grazzi!
(Ty-yeb ha-fna, grat-see!) (Really good, thanks!)
Easy peasy, polite, and totally Maltese! 😉
Practice saying "Kif inti?" out loud a few times. Try using this phrase today if you get a chance to chat with someone who speaks Maltese (or just for practice!).
Want to hear how it sounds? Hit up Google Translate or a Maltese dictionary online and listen to the pronunciation.
Happy Maltese learning! And see ya tomorrow! 👋

🗣️ Tuesday - Learn Something New! Maltese Compliments: How to Dish Out Praise in Maltese! 🗣️
Merħba everyone! 👋 Back for another language lesson! It's Tuesday, so we're tackling Maltese compliments today! Let's be real, knowing how to say something nice in someone's language? That's always a win-win and makes chatting way smoother! 😉
Maltese folks, just like us, love a good compliment! And today, you'll pick up a few easy-peasy, but totally sweet phrases to brighten up a local's day and show off your language skills.
Here's a handy list of Maltese compliments for all sorts of moments:
1. "What a beautiful view!" - for when you're blown away by the scenery, a sunset, the view from a window, you name it.
Kemm hi sabiħa din il-veduta!
(Kemm hee sa-bee-ha deen il-ve-doo-ta!)
* English: What a beautiful view!
* When to use it: Spot something beautiful – Valletta skyline, ocean view, killer sunset at Golden Bay? Perfect to say to a friend, travel buddy, or even just someone you're passing by who's also admiring the view.
2. "You look great today!" - a lovely compliment on someone's appearance (works for both guys and girls, just a tiny difference in pronunciation).
Illum qed tidher sabiħ/sabiħa!
(Il-loom ked tee-der sa-beeħ/sa-bee-ha!)
* English: You look great today! (for him/for her)
* When to use it: As a nice, polite compliment to someone you know – a colleague, a friend, etc. "Sabiħ" is for guys, "sabiħa" is for ladies.
3. "This is very delicious!" - to rave about food someone's made or what you're digging at a restaurant.
Dan tajjeb ħafna!
(Dan ty-yeb ha-fna!)
* English: This is very delicious! / So delicious!
* When to use it: At a restaurant, cafe, at someone's place when they're feeding you. A solid compliment for the chef or host.
4. "You have excellent taste!" - for complimenting someone's style, outfit choices, home decor, you get the idea.
Għandek togħma tajba!
(Ahn-dek to-ma ty-ba!)
* English: You have excellent taste! / Great taste!
* When to use it: To give props for someone's fashion style, furniture picks, decorations, music – anything where they showed good taste. Perfect when you want to compliment a choice they made.
Practice saying these phrases out loud! Try to drop them into conversation when you're in Malta – trust me, the Maltese will love that you're making the effort and trying out their language!
