"Our interpreter was wonderful; she assisted with calling multiple Fijian-speaking patients. She was so kind and made sure our patient understood and were able to communicate back."

Fijian is an Austronesian language spoken by over 500,000 people, primarily in Fiji, where it is one of the official languages alongside English and Hindi. It has several dialects, with Bauan Fijian (iTaukei) serving as the standard form for education and government. Fijian is a phonetic language, meaning words are pronounced as they are spelled, but it also has complex verb structures and honorific speech forms, which vary depending on formality and social hierarchy.

While English is widely spoken in Fiji, many Fijians prefer to communicate in their native language, especially in rural areas and traditional settings. Whether for business, healthcare, legal matters, or tourism, Jeenie’s professional Fijian interpreters ensure accurate and culturally appropriate communication, helping you connect effectively with Fijian-speaking communities.

Fijian culture is deeply rooted in communal living, hospitality, and respect for tradition. The concept of "veiwekani" (kinship and connection) is central to social interactions, emphasizing strong family ties and collective responsibility. Traditional ceremonies, such as the sevusevu (gift-giving ritual) and meke (traditional dance performances), play a key role in maintaining cultural identity.

Respect is a fundamental aspect of Fijian society, especially toward elders and community leaders. Customs such as removing shoes before entering a home, using polite greetings, and participating in kava ceremonies are essential for building relationships. With Jeenie’s expert Fijian interpreters, you get more than just translation—you get cultural expertise, ensuring smooth and meaningful communication in any situation.

How much does Fijian interpreting cost?

Across the industry, Fijian interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details.

Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions.

Are Fijian translators and Fijian interpreters the same thing?

We get this question a lot.

Fijian interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Fijian into English and English into Fijian). Interpreters serve as communication and are experts at cultural nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.

Fijian translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.

How are Fijian interpreters on Jeenie different from other services?

Jeenie attracts the best interpreters in the world. Truly. We constantly hear from clients that they have NEVER had such amazing interpreters on other services. That skill saves our clients time and minimizes their risk of costly miscommunications. Here's how we excel at quality:

We treat interpreters well.
Jeenie offers linguists great compensation (often the best in the industry), work-life flexibility, ongoing learning to improve their craft, and our heart-felt respect. For this and many other reasons, the best interpreters want to be on the Jeenie platform.

We have extremely high standards.
Unlike most of our competitors who outsource huge chunks of their interpreting needs, Jeenie has created a vetted network of global talent who are active within our platform. This gives us direct oversight on quality and skills assessment. Jeenie interpreters must pass our rigorous skills evaluations, have several years of experience, maintain 4.0 average client rating, and pass ongoing quality tests.
