So basically all the German I have learned will be for nothing when I go to Switzerland. xD
Don‘t worry! The people in Switzerland who speak Swiss German will understand you perfectly, because we have to learn "high" german ( as we call the german they speak in Germany) in school. It‘s because Swiss German is not really a written language. But it will may get a little hard for you to understand them ;)
That's good to hear! My wife and me mostly want to visit the French part of Switzerland (mainly because she can't really communicate in other languages than French) but there's no way that I'll miss the chance of visiting the rest as well and practice my German! :)
Shangri La why "high" and not "low" as in "deep" or "root", is it due to some royalty issues?
***** thanks, so it means highlands right?
+Jean-René Vallières no. You will actually use it even like me Im swiss. In school, we speak german. i talk with family, friends swiss german but in formal emails, teachers i talk german :)
Swiss german from Valais even doesn't sound like german.
+mmoside57 it`s actually the closest language to old high german
+mmoside57 it`s actually the closest language to old high german
+kleschtremania I thought Icelandic was older?
Austin Pfaff What do you mean by icelandic is older?
If you mean archaic then I agree. Icelandic is very similar to Old west Norse.
Swiss German is very much like Middle High German. Some dialects though, especially in the "Wallis" are still more similar to Old High German.
My point was not to say that Swiss german is the closest language to the Germanic proto Language. My point was that Swiss German is the closest modern language to Old High German.
Gotcha, sorry mate.
0:37
English: Your leg is on fire
German: You're buying bread
Swiss german (zurich) : It is vibrant
Swiss german (valais) : You've got choco brand
😂😂😂😂
😂 hahah
😂😂😂😂
Zürich : Ihres Bei brännt.
Valais: Ihre tschopä brennt
LMAOOO
@@pascal2554 tschagu, nit där tschopu ;-)
"Danke"
"Danke"
"Merci"
Excuse me what
Valais is a bilingual canton, so it somewhat makes sense. The west half of Valais, or Lower Valais, is francophone, and the east half, or Upper Wallis, is German
It's the same in St Gallen.
No it is Merce!
That Comes from the Bavarian dialect!
Merci is fucking French! We are German! NOT FUCKING FRENCH!
Merce does not sound like germanic language at all.
Thank (English)
Dank (Dutch)
Tak (Danish)
Takk (Norwegian)
Tack (Swedish)
þakka (Icelandic)
Danke (German)
Danke (Swiss German Zurich)
Merce?
Most likely it evolved to emphasize that one is not German but Swiss, and since Valais is largely french speaking, I find it more likely to be French than Bavarian, especially as that one was adopted from French under Napoleon too.
Go home Valais, you're drunk.
It's normal, Valais' people are ALWAYS drunk xD
I think you're confused. Beer is the lifeblood of all men from Switzerland/Liechtenstein lmao. Prosecco is obviously the lifeblood of women. They drink it in lieu of water :')
that's why I never wanna go to Swiss even though I speak German
@@shepherdlavellen3301
You're missing out...
@@grahamb7947 In Valais the women drink Fendant or Johannisberg.
Well if you close ears a bit, you can hear Zurich German being German. But Valais sounds more like a German-French mix.
Matthew simpson specially the thank you part
well we speak german,italian,french and romanch here in switzerland soo yeahh......
it is a mix of it
I'm a french speaking swiss guy, I learned german in school and I can't hear any german or french prononciation in this guy's slang.
@@patate_9266 Probably because the words were borrowed a hundred years ago and the pronounciation changed since then.
Swiss German sounds like a guy speaking German with a Scottish accent
You nailed it bro 😁
nothing before has made me study Swiss German, but this is is XD
Just saw a comment elsewhere saying that it sounds like someone speaking German while being choked.
it sounds more like you accidentaly inhale water and trying to catch breath :-D
Valais should just get a name for whatever it is they are speaking.
Walser German
@@RaymondHng Wallisertiitsch
'und es parapluie'. That mix of german conjugation and french-words is so funny to hear. Almost like in Alsace, France.
*almost like anywhere on the West Germanic language frontier from Valais to French Flanders
I do admire how the Swiss are proud of their dialects and keep them alive. Contrast that to the British attitude, which is that dialects are objects of ridicule, only fit for simpletons.
You obviously haven't been listening to British TV recently. You hardly ever hear RP these days.
it's ok to be a simpleton of you live on one of the richest countries in the world

I wish this video was longer.
That's what she said....I'm not proud of this, but it needed to be done
The difference between German German and Swiss German (Valais) reminds me of the difference between English English and Scots. Even the sound reminds me of it.
Katrine Kristensen Nicola Sturgeon sometimes reminds me of a random female Valaisan politician. Even the (sometimes) separatist/rebellious views are similar. 😂
That's because Scotland had less influences and sounds closer to what the Anglo-Saxons spoke
Am no westerner, but you guys seriously call what that Valais dude speaks "German"?
is german, just a very old version of german language... still last due to isolation in the mountains villages...
It doesn't sound like German at all
Kinda of like taiwanese hokkien vs quan zhou hokkien
Liao Ssin thats what i think too
I could understand some of it
Although the Swiss German guy from Valais is talking nonsense, he seems a whole lot more fun than the Berlin dude!
this is not nonsense, these are valais expressions
+KaOs 'hello' in Swiss German (Valais) reminds me of Danish and 'your leg is on fire' in Swiss German (Zurich) reminds me of Norwegian...
Yes as a Non-Valais-Swiss guy i can assure you that people from Valais are usually very friendly and easy-going. Thats why its one of the favorite holiday Cantons for other swiss people. You go to Valais to have a good time and they really know how to be hospitable to tourists!
One cool thing is, that there is always time for some wine in Valais😎
The boy from Valais is so cute! *.*
Did anyone else laugh hysterically at the sentences?
+Emily Bell Meee~
i feel like the canadian woman was trying really hard not to crack up after each one
please do not kiss the sheep! WTF??
@@martinet1985 Well, yes. It's kind of frowned upon both in Germany and Switzerland.
The Zürich dialect of Swiss German sounds a lot like Dutch, at least in the way that girl spoke. Very similar pronounciation and had I heard her speak in isolation, she could easily fool me thinking she spoke Dutch.
Its so funny! Its the same when we swiss people hear others speaking dutch and don't listen closely we think they are swiss :D
examples:
The Dutch word for No is Nee, which is exatly pronounced like the Nei in some swiss dialects.
Good morning in Dutch is Goedemorgen which is very similiar pronounced to 'guete morge' in Switzerland:
@@Donknowww stimmt, bi säuber scho oft vrwächslet wordä und äs ischmr säuber oscho passiert 😃
This is such a great video. One can almost feel how dialects slowly becomes languages of their own (related ones of course).
Sentences are so funny!
I'm very suprise, Swiss German (Valais) have similar words with French, it's cool!
yeah we have a lot french loanwords. also in my dialect (bern). The swissgermans are allemanic dialects. like what they speak in elsass (or used to speak). and cause we boarder french speaking territories at meany places, we have a lot influence. a 100 year ago evan more, when French was the international language. 😃
I'm in love with the Swiss guy 😍
I love how the background has to some sort of emphasize their accent. To me it's kind of a Mexican speaking spanish in front of a taco shop or Chinese speaking Mandarin in front of a toy factory.
In Valais we have just mountains, no plains, no hills. Its very hard to have a Valaisian background with no mountains, even If you want to.
If you think Mexicans from Mexico actually eat American tacos you are in for a shock if you actually go to Mexico City etc. LOL. That is like saying Americans in front of a hot dog stand. LOLLLLLL. In other words WRONG people.
I spotted some French words in the Valais German :
Poussette-- Pram/stroller.
Merci-- thank you.
Porta is either from Italian or from French Porte, which means door... and parapluie-- umbrella.
Exactly! You got it! Valais borders northern italy and eastern france so its partly influenced by these languages :)
Greetings from Switzerland my friend :)
im from st.gallen east swiss and sometimes i understand english better than valais swissgerman
+spoonkiller7elie I'm from zürich, and yes, i feel the same way
spoonkiller7elie My mother is from valais and even I don't understand them lol
well, I'm from Neuchatel, and I don't understand shit anyway :D
I don’t know why so many people don’t like the video. It’s awesome! Ich weiß nicht warum so viele Leute den Video nicht mögen. Er ist großartig!!
swiss german "valais" is so far off, it shouldn't even be classified as german haha
the thing is, despite the accent, they have different words, but still made with a german base
Agreed
Valais sounds like Swedish, though.
LOVE the phrase selection!
valais guy high key the cutest tho
This is awesome. Please make another and show us more examples please!
So variations of Swiss Germans to standard German is like variations of Australian English to British English
To my American ears, 0:41 beide Schweizer sound like they're speaking English with heavy Scottish accents lol.
I started learning German about two weeks ago. I'm surprised I could actually understand what was said and could translate it before they said it 😊😁
The Swiss is “Zueri Duetsch” That is only one of the Dialects. I speak a completely different dialect and most Northern Swiss have a very hard time understanding what I am talking about. So, this “Swiss Dialect” is just one of many and is one that is very similar to the “High German.”
Wow Swiss German is nothing like High German... I had no idea...
Valasis dialect sounds like a combination of German with French and some slavic accent.But it sounds really nice.
Sounds like a too much alkohol 🤣🤦♀️
Valais guy is very beautiful
kartoffel...silence... am i strange that i find this funny?
hahahahahaha no, i found it funny too :'D
My brother and I are convinced it was put there specifically to be humorous.
In some Polish dialects, they also say Kartofel :)
In Dutch: aardappel almost like the swiss guys.
Ich muss ja lachen, dass das Wallis hier besonders behandelt wird! Als Südpfälzer hatte ich mich fast an den Dialekt rund um Brig gewöhnt. Nach der Pest war hier in der Südpfalz ja niemand mehr daheim und hier stammt alles von eingewanderten Schweizern, Holländern und französischen Hugenotten ab.
Südpfälzisch für "Der Käse liegt im Kinderwagen": De Kääs liecht in de Chaise!
Zum Glück ist der Dialekt aus der Südpfalz wenigstens noch verständlich, im Gegensatz zu gewissen Dialekten aus dem Wallis.
@@andreasmartin9296Gefällt mir! Pfälzisch hat einen gewissen Charme. Bodenständig aber doch elegant und freundlich. Wie die Menschen dort eigentlich. Neben den Dialekten in der Eifel ist er meine Lieblingsmundart in Deutschland.
Liebe grüsse aus der Schweiz
Waren Sie per Zufall auch in der Gegend Blatten bei Naters/ Belalp?
The guy from Valais to me (A non German speaker) like German being spoken with a Scottish accent.
That's really funny because my mom is from the German part of Valais and whenever Nicola Sturgeon (Scottish politician) is on TV, her language reminds me of my mom's Valais German dialect.
I'm learning German-German, and I'm getting the feeling that Valais-German differ mostly in how they put the words together even though they do have their own dialect, corrections?
if you're not a native German, you have absoluetly 0 chance to understand Valais Dialect. You wouldn't even have a chance if you were a German. I am Swiss from North Eastern Switzerland and even I don't fully understand them. They have such a strong Dialect and words that only they use.
i work at a water park that has a lot of tourists visiting. The mainland germans i have no problem understanding, but today I encountered a swiss family and could not even comprehend their german. it was more like the Valais. Ich kann es nicht verstehen!
You guys forgot to say "My hovercraft is full of eels"
I just realized that Swiss Valais is the german versions of the Irish Cork accent. O.o
I’m here 3 years later, cause my boo is Swiss-German and I’m a Caribbean Gyal whose grown up in America...and I’m confused asf because now I feel like the German I’ve been learning is for NOTHING! What the hell... 😳😂
No wonder when I started speaking a little standard German to him it went like this,
Me: **basic ass German mumbo jumbo** 🥰😘😘😘
Him: **pats gently on shoulder, and kisses cheek**
Him: **Swiss-German accent Mimicking my African American Southern vernacular** Aww, babe...you’re really trying...that’s reall cute, or whateva” 😘
😳🤕😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
high german and swiss german = Indonesian and Malaysian. Sounds similar but not the same.
*sounds different, but its the same languagr
More like
High Standard German 🇩🇪=Standard Malaysian Malay 🇲🇾🇸🇬🇧🇳
Bavarian German 🇩🇪🇦🇹=Indonesian 🇮🇩
Swiss German 🇨🇭=Kelantan/Patani Malay 🇲🇾🇹🇭
I really like the Valais one (Walliserdeutsch).
i love it!!!! Please make more!!!!!
Valais sounds the most unique out of the 3 german languages and one bastard one.
I hear it's actually similar to high german.
For me as person who don't speak german - Swiss german sounds very similar to dutch language and little bit of afrikaans. Anyway very interesing how languages with common roots changed thru centuries.
These sentences are indeed very useful for travelling :,D
Yoooo... Valais sounds great! It's like a mix between German and Scots and French... anyone know where I can find more videos of it being spoken?
Der Käse liegt im Kinderwagen???? What does a cheese do in a push chair/pram?
The guy who speaks last is to enthusiastic
Does she say "Ihres Bein brannt" for the Zurich translation for "your leg is on fire"? ._. I really like her accent. Also Wallisierdeutsch dude.. you broke my mind! xD
If I was going to Liechtenstein, would the German there sound the same as the Zurich German (with maybe a bit of Austrian influence)?
Without really paying attention to the signs which dialects are spoken, i assumed that "Valais Deutsch" has to be french. I didnt understand it at all, as a german speaker..
I would like more such videos actually teaching Züri-Dütsch!
Look up Maryangel24 on RUclips :)
i wish it to, but with Bärndütsch 😀
Fun. Had to stretch the idea of saying the same thing for a few of them, but still fun. But let's be real - "merci" is used at least as often as "danke" in Züri as well.
Valais "good day" sounds like "ta geule" which is French for "shut up"
Merci vilmal
Zurich is close. Valais isn't.
Lol. This is so awesome. The Swiss German accent is so random, and the dude speaking it makes me giggle. He looks like he's not part of the family.
The German guy looks like he's looking down on us. That compounded with his poker face and relatively flat intonation makes him look quite intimidating! Everyone else is on eye level though, so is he just exceptionally tall or the camera was positioned very low when filming him to add to the effect/ :P
Most of the German Suisse I understood and is very close to normal German. But how the Suisse say "please hurry" simply is funny :D. "Bitte machen sie vorwärts" literally means in English "please make forward" for "please hurry" :D
"Mach schneller" make it faster, "Bitte beeil dich/Bitte beeiled sie sich" please hurry :D
So much for "Swiss German" aka Swytzerdüütsch being a language of its own. If anything it's 50 languages of their own.
does Valais have a lot of french words in it? I think i heard quite a few
So 9 Months and a B1 zertifikat won't do me shit when I go to Switzerland :/
Ich lerne hoch fmderutsch yetzt in der Schüle und ich bin Amerikaner. deshalb ich hab das Endlisch na klar und das hoch Deutsch verstanden. Die andere zwei waren nur zu mich interessieren! Und dass ist genau wie es ist passiert für mich! Sie zwei andere sind ganz geil zu hören!
20:00 the cheese is in the stroller? Been heard like that. Is it right?
0:35 "Gib der Mutter kein Spezi", verflixt, gib ihr dann Sprite also echt 😂
And suddenly it seems like "These 3 countries speak German" is a massive lie. Got to love the random Kartoffel you threw in at the end too!
+linglingjr Yea I know =(, I'm a native spanish and we all understand each other from Texas to Patagonia (Argentina)
=( why can't europeans be friends and talk the same language? :P
+Daniel Cetina they speak the same official language, High German, but the dialects are different. It's like that in every larger European country. I personally speak 3 different German dialects and 2 Romanian dialects.
Don't you have Galician, Catalan and Basque in Spain, yet at the same time everyone also speaks Castilian ?
Daniel Cetina What has speaking different dialects got to do with being friends? Btw we ARE friends in Europe.
@@hockneyfication Come to Switzerland I feel like we would start a war against each other just about our dialects
@@ProjektleiterBroteundBroetchen I am Swiss though.
whats the difference between High and low German? like which is USED the Most? im trying to learn it
Im Swiss, and it's really hard to inderstand Valais 😂😂
J'adore!!!🇨🇭
It would be good if we could have the transcript too, so we can read the phrases :)
🇩🇪: Bin ich die einzige die findet, dass 80% der Beispielsätze keinen Sinn ergeben?
🇺🇸: Am I the only one who thinks, that 80% of the example sentences don't make sence?
OMG die Walliser
Thank you is also merci in Swiss German not danke.
I don’t understand a word of German but now I understand why Germans don’t understand Swiss German even to me it sounds so different
Speakers of Southwest German dialects (especially Alemannic) understand Swiss German.
OK I’m kinda fucked because I thought that the Swiss german was the same thing as the standard but apparently I won’t understand what they say when I visit Zürich
Swiss Germans also understand and are able to speak Standard German, but they speak it with a Swiss accent.
The Valais guy is coolest.
The man from valais mixed the 3 langs.. some german some french some italian
I‘m German and I don’t understand a single word in Swiss German (Valais) lol😂
they should make a seperate language name for this joke. It is not German!
Please, teach me German! ☺
Ich als Schweizer aus dem Kanton zürich habe ihn auch nicht verstanden.
Zurich German, it seems, is at least sort of identifiable as German. The Valais version doesn't sound like it's any kind of German at all.
I feel like German to Zurich German is like American English to NED Ireland English.
Don't we also say Merci in Züridüütsch?
Wow such difference between them.
Very Instructive video. Thanks! But one small, very small request: Please, in your next video (well, i hope there will be a next one) tell the girl that speaks in Swiss German to speak a bit slower. For example, the guy that Speaks (original) German, does it perfectly. Please do that, so that we understand the language differences better. :) Make more videos like that, PLEASE!
Hallo, in Deutschland gibts in jedem Bundesland mindestens ein Dialekt! In Deutschland spricht man nicht nur Hochdeutsch
Swiss German (zurich) sounds like german but with a mild scottish accent???
Sayo Bun "German" doesn't exist in the sense it's supposed here. It's either an umbrella term for all German dialects and varieties of Standard German including the Austrian and Swiss ones or a modern shortcut for Standard German. That said German German doesn't exist either because there are at least two pronunciation varieties in Germany, the Northern and the Southern one. The Southern variety is more similar to the Austrian and Swiss German ones than to the Northern variety.
Back in the 90s, I spent 4 years learning German in high school, then got to work with a German lady for a day and was so happy that I could communicate with her. It felt like all that work paid off since a native German speaker praised my skills. Not long after, I got to work with a Swiss lady who spoke like the young blonde lady in this video. I gave up speaking German to Swiss people ever since. Also got to work with an Austrian guy for a while, who was not much easier to understand than the Swiss lady. So, IMO on a scale of easy to hard it goes like this: GERMANY GERMAN, AUSTRIAN GERMAN, SWISS GERMAN.
Hello in German is Hallo, not Guten tag.
+KamikazethecatII It's a salutation nevertheless.
+Rashad It's like french, you can say "allô" but we mostly use "Bonjour"
I thought allô was only used when picking up a telephone call?
It is.
allo is the same in Spanish speaking countries when picking up the phone.
0:36 what did you say about my mother?
Why did the Zurich accent sound like German with a Scottish accent???
the end of the video cracked me up!!
Swiss German from Valais reminds me of Danish 😅
lieber en walliser wa es grüezi :D
😂
German vs Swiss sounds a lot like English vs Scottish english
