Common Balinese to Lingala phrases

100 practical Balinese to Lingala phrases for travel, study, work, and daily conversation.

← Back to Balinese to Lingala Translator

Looking for practical Balinese to Lingala phrases? This free guide lists 100 essential sentences for travel, study, work, and everyday conversation. Each line shows the Balinese phrase first, then the Lingala translation (Lingala) — so you can scan quickly before a trip, class, or video call.

The phrases are grouped into eight topics: greetings and pleasantries, useful phrases for travellers, everyday conversation, directions and getting around, shopping and dining, emergencies and health, work and business, and time, days and numbers. Use the table of contents to jump straight to greetings, directions, dining, emergencies, or numbers. You do not need perfect grammar to start — short, clear sentences often work better than silence when you are learning Lingala.

Tip: read the Lingala line out loud three times, then cover the Balinese side and try to recall the meaning — repetition builds memory faster than silent reading.
