Looking for practical Jawi (جاوي) to Bhojpuri phrases? This free guide lists 100 essential sentences for travel, study, work, and everyday conversation. Each line shows the Jawi phrase first, then the Bhojpuri translation (Bhojpuri) — 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 Bhojpuri.
Tip: focus on one section per day (travel Monday, dining Tuesday, and so on) if you are preparing for a Bhojpuri-speaking trip in a few weeks.
