Would you like to learn some Mayan Phrases?



Typical Mayan Market

 Continuing with my Yucatan blogs, if you are planning a cruise that will visit the Mayan Riviera or to Cozumel, Mexico, I thought it would come in handy to know some Mayan phrases that might come in handy when dealing with the local Mayan people:

·         Ba’ax ka wa’alik? ---- Which means:  What’s up?

Pronounced:  Bash ka walee

OR

·         B'ix a bèel? ---- Which means:  How are you?

Pronounced:  Bee sh a bell

The usual answer is:

-Mix b’a’al ---- Which means:  Nothing, Don't mention it   Pronounced:  Mee’sh Ba (Ba is pronounced as in Baltic)

                OR

-Ma’alob ---- Which means:  Fine, okay

Pronounced:  Ma Alo?
