Traveling isn’t just about changing scenery. It’s about changing language, rhythm, and perspective. Every time we learn a new word in another language, we open a door to a different way of seeing the world.

And that’s exactly what happens here in Mallorca: every day we welcome people who speak English, German, French, Portuguese, Italian… and also Mallorquín.

Speaking several languages doesn’t just improve communication — it builds bridges, awakens empathy, and helps us feel more connected to one another. It’s a way of saying: “I’m here, and I care about understanding you.”

When you visit a new place and learn how to say thank you, hello, or can I? in the local language, you’re not just repeating sounds — you’re showing respect, curiosity, and affection for that culture.

And here in Mallorca, that effort is truly appreciated — from the heart.

That’s why we want to share a few basic expressions in Mallorquín with you, so you can start using them on your next visit. Don’t worry if it doesn’t sound perfect — the important thing is the intention.

So, welcome to the wonderful world of Mallorquín. Here are some expressions to help you start off on the right foot:

• Bon dia!
Good morning! — A warm and common way to greet someone.

• Com anam?
(How are we? / How’s it going?) — Very Mallorquín, more informal and friendly than “How are you?”.

• Que passis un bon dia!
(Have a good day!) — Perfect for saying goodbye with a smile.

• Me pots dur una botella d’aigua?
(Can you bring me a bottle of water?) — Very useful at a restaurant 😄

• El compte, per favor.
(The bill, please.) — Essential after enjoying a great meal.

• Gràcies! (or Gracis!)
Thank you! — A magic word, in any language.

Learning new words isn’t just practical — it’s also an act of love for the place you’re visiting and for the people who live there. So next time you come, dare to say bon dia!

We promise — more than one person will respond with a genuine smile… and probably a story to share.
