Maltese (or ‘Malti’ to be more accurate) is a language with roots in Arabic mixed with Sicilian/Italian and as such is almost completely incomprehensible to a native English speaker like myself. Just about everybody here speaks English, so unless you feel some kind of preternatural yearning to devote years of your life to studying a difficult language known to effectively 0% of the global population, I would advise sticking to the following:
“Bongu” (pronounced bonjo) means ‘good morning;
“Allrrrright!?” means ‘hello, how are you?’; and
“Mela!” works for just about any conversational interjection you care to make.
Mela.

Don’t forget to chuck in the occasional ‘hux’-that seems to work for me.
