How do you say no in Maltese?

The most common way to say "no" in Maltese is "le".

Here are a few other ways to say no, depending on the context:

* "Mhux" (pronounced "m-wux") - This translates more literally to "not" and is a more formal way to say "no."

* "Le, grazzi" (pronounced "lay grah-tsee") - This means "no, thank you" and is a polite way to decline something.

* "M'għandix" (pronounced "m-ghan-deesh") - This means "I don't have" and can be used to decline something you don't have, like food or drink.

* "Ma rridx" (pronounced "ma reed-ish") - This means "I don't want" and can be used to refuse something you don't want.

It's important to note that the pronunciation of Maltese can be tricky, so listening to native speakers or using pronunciation guides is highly recommended.
