Each line shows the Kikongo phrase first, then the Meiteilon Manipuri translation (Meiteilon Manipuri) — 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.
