Switzerland: How many "umlaut" do you want to use?
Zurich people: yes.
😂
you should see Swedish for umlauts, it's unreal.
A lot of ppl replace the "e" with an "ä" even tho' it's unnecessary. For example: grüäss can also be written as grüess or zämä can also be written as zäme. I noticed, that they replaced 90% of the "e"'s with an "ä" even though it wasn't needed.
Zurich people: yäs.
🤣😂
that moment when you need to translate from swiss -> Deutsch -> english -> your language 🤷♂️
Yeah, that's horrible. I still don't understand half of the things that were said.
😂
@TryndaToChallenger because deutsch to arabic is a little bit similar but also a little bit weird
To Russian
Lol 😂 🤣😂😢😢😢 i now how you feel 😳😳
B2 in DE = A0 in der CH :)
😢
hahahaha
Trotzdem war es kein Problem bei mir, obwohl ich nur B1 gemacht habe. Persönlich finde ich Schweizerdeutsch besser und einfächer zu verstehen
@@MadAlbo Wirklich? Ich denke dass nicht. Aber, ich habe nur 4 Jahren Deutsch gelernt. Wo und wie lange hast du Deutsch gelernt?
@@MadAlbo really? Ich habe fast nichts verstanden, ich glaube, dass diese Leute Alemannisch sprechen und nicht Hochdeutsch, aber ich auch glaube dass wenn ein Deutschlerner ihnen spricht, werden sie ihn/sie auf Hochdeutsch reden. Servus!

i am partially swiss then, haha
You're right ! Muesli and......black coffee ? Sounds so different than standard german I got lost here......🤔🤔🤔

Super. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch.
Ich bin Italiener und wohne in Süditalien. Ich bin 24 Jahre alt. Ich sehe oft Videos der Hallo Deutschschule. Auf diese Weise lerne ich Deutsch als Autodidakt . Deutsch ist sehr wichtig und nützlich, zur gleichen Zeit aber sehr schwierig mit einer komplizierten Grammatik. Trotzdem, versuche ich mich Tag für Tag zu verbessern. Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe.
@@micheledisanto8461 So u speak Italian and German?
After having learned German for one year intensively I was originally quite confident to go to Switzerland.
Now I'm reconsidering my decision😂
You'll be fine with High German in Switzerland if you're just there to visit. The Swiss understand Hochdeutsch although most would prefer not to use it, so don't be offended if they switch to English (and ask you to do the same).
Switzerland is not Germany XD but you can always ask people to talk high german with you. It‘s just a bit of s foreign language to Swiss people too
English is always there to help you out😹 you can try French, swiss French has basically no difference compare with French used in France.
@@halfthefiber why would they switch to english that makes no sense 😂
@@critical.g3247 Are you Swiss or German?
Is the entire Swiss population fasting?
😂 das habe ich auch gedacht
🤣
I'm from the region around Zurich, and most just don't have a huge breakfast. I don't think we have a huge food culture in general. I wouldn't be able to recommend any kind of "Swiss" dishes, other than fondue or raclette for winter.
@@yui7star Rösti, Spätzli (ok, more regional than Swiss but...), Schnitzel cordon bleu, Birchermüesli, Papet vaudois (winter), Brisolée (autumn), Filets de perches, Fondue (käse, tomate, bourguignonne) Raclette, Croûte au fromage, etc... (I'm just talking about dishes, because If I start to talk about all the specialities of the regions, like meat, cheese, backery, bread, etc... we will spend the whole day in the comments).
@@aksanaify but do you see the influen ce from the French there? There's waaay too many restaurants surviving in Zurich with bad tasting food, or at least not so good to justify the price.
At least now I feel like I understand high German perfectly!
I agree. Listening to the teacher was so easy, I thought I was hearing English. Or was it Englisch?
As a North German person: We also don't understand them. Don't worry :)
Swiss german of the canton of zurich is one of the easiest.
@@mittwochxiv.9770 wanted to comment that too, I was born in Bremen and don't understand a complete sentence

Great you’re learning German! Where in Switzerland were you? 🇨🇭 Don’t give up. 💪 Where do you come from?
Now you can learn "swiss german" and realize that you only understand the people in one city
It’s fine! I am a native german speaker and I didn’t understand a word they said! German itself can be understood by every german but the dialects are hard to understand
Ich habe Deutsch vor 4 Monaten selbstständig Deutsch gelernt. Ich war in der Schweiz, um in einer Hotelfachschule zu studieren. (Aber ich studiere auf Englisch). Ich habe gedacht, dass ich mit die Schweizer reden kann. Am Ende erfinde ich, dass Schwizdüütsch sehr komisch und crazy ausklingt. Trotzdem interessiere ich mich sehr für Schweizdeutsch!! Eine schöne Video mittenand!
Dafür ist es echt schon gut wow, aber ein bisschen Übung brauchst du trotzdem noch, teilweise ist es witzig welche Wörter du einsetzt:D
Du benutzt manchmal noch die falschen Wörter, aber man kann dich verstehen. :)
Ich studiere Kuchen backen und Rasen mähen
Und auf Toilette gehen auf Master
Schwerpunkt kacken
Urinieren war nicht so mein Ding
Hotelfach studieren
Das muss man nicht studieren
I cant tell if your grammar is accurate, but it SEEMS remarkable haha, the vocabulary takes a backseat to it even. My grammar is abysmal and is easily the most intimidating and confusing aspect, 4 months is sweet.
Oh mein Gott . Ist das Deutsch ?! Hab nichts verstanden außer Joghurt und Apfel , nüt, morgen 😂😂😂😂😂

Phew, thank you for clarifying that I should learn standard German first, bc that’s what I’ve been doing!😅 I’m grateful for teachers like you for the Swiss dialect!🙏🏼
More videos about swiss german please :)
switzerland don't have an official german language
Als gebürtiger Niederländer mit Wohnsitz in Deutschland habe ich alles verstanden!
Cool. Ik kan ook een beetje Nederlands praten. 😊 Vind het een heel mooie taal.
I can understand very little Swiss German, but I can listen to it all day long. I love the way it sounds 💜
When I’ve mastered my German (hopefully, one day), I’d love to learn Swiss German. I love it.
Cool! 😃 What is your level in German now? Where do you come from? Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Does everyone understand the same german that is taught in the goethe institut? I am afraid that I won't understand anything there
This was great. I had been under the impression that Swiss German was almost a different language, having been in Switzerland and not understanding their speech. But comparing it to the Standard German captions it became obvious it really is just a dialect. I can see it is decipherable and can be gotten used to and understood, although the Swiss switch over to Standard German the second they realize you don't speak Swiss, so you won't get much practice with people you speak to.
Well Luxemburgian is also a german dialect, but also a language.
In fact it is probably much closer to standard german then swiss german is, since luxemburgian is closer to middle german dialects.
Similiar situation exist with pennsilvania dutch, yiddish, or standard dutch (or even dialects there of) very close to standard german but considered their own language.
What I want to say is that the difference between dialect and language isn't primarly linguisticly but politicly.
Luxemburg standardized their dialect so it became a language while switzerland has not done that.
There are no official grammar, vocabulary rules in any swiss dialect found in switzerland.
There is an old saying, a language is a dialect with an army and navy. Meaning that a language is defined by the political will or organisation behind it to standardize it.
I think you focus to much on the captions, swiss german/allemanic has many different grammar rules, vocabulary and pronouncication.
You could basicly compare dutch and standard german and get the false impression that they are one and the same language.
So...Differential between dialects and language doesnt really mean anything in terms of linguistic.
Standard german itself is a german dialect that got standardized swiss german didn't evolve from today standard german but is much older.
So saying that swiss german sounds like standard german dialect is wrong, but saying it is a german dialect meaning it the sense as a "Dachsprache" it's correct.
German and the Standard German (sometimes called Hochdeutsch) are not the same even if some german think they are.
Sorry for the bad english.
Well, Zurich German is a dialect that is pretty close to Standard German, but try some dialects from more southern or montainous regions, such as Valais German or my own dialect, you can see bigger differences in terms of vocabulary, pronunciation and sometimes grammar. Besides, speakers from Zurich are more likely to use words from Standard German, such as “Butter” for the English “butter” instead of the original dialect term “Anke/Ankä”, because they live near the border and work with many Germans.
In addition, while their videos are generally great, I wish this channel would emphasize, that Swiss German in just an umbrella term for the many Alemannic dialects spoken in Switzerland. As such, it is impossible to learn Swiss German, you can only learn the specific dialect of a region.
Is Norwegian just a Dialect of Danish and Swedish? Or are they different Languages?
@@Slithermotion Musst du nur Schweden, Dänemark und Norwegen bringen dann wissen die Leute dies sowas schreiben nicht mehr weiter. lol
Uns Südtiroler, Österreicher, Schweizer und (Bayern, (viellecht Schwaben auch?)) wollen die immer nur Germans nennen aber das ärgert mich, ich will kein Deutscher sein und hab wenig gemeinsam mit diesen Norddeutschen.
Wenn dann soll man uns Germanic nennen wie die Slaven und Romanen. Warum werden immer Ukrainer, Weißrussen und Russen unterschieden aber wir werden alle in einen Topf geworfen und Deutsche genannt!
but keep in mind that the dialect in zurich is one of the most similiar to german. They hardly use any helvetisms
The Swiss dialect has a sing-songy quality to it that is quite unique (and beautiful) to it.
It's the same with Arabic . I'm Arabic native speaker und lerne jetzt Deutsch .
Standard Arabic differs alot from the common spoken dialects and dialects differ a lot from each other . I'm from Syria and it's really hard for me to understand a person who lives in Algeria for example . But if we both speak standard Arabic we can understand each other .
When you wanna learn Arabic you should learn Standard Arabic first to understand the dynamics of this language and how it works . Then if you are interested in a specific country you can focus on the dialect of this country . I speak a lot with people who want to learn Arabic on Tandem . Many learners tell me " I want to learn the Egyptian dialect . I don't wanna learn standard Arabic . " I try to convice them that this is wrong . you should learn how to drive manual first then you can learn how to drive Auto .
It's awesome how one language can sound really different from region to another . I find the swiss dialect really interesting and beautiful .

Aber ich liebe die Schweiz... 🇨🇭
This is such a beautiful version of German, I love it!
schiess drufff…..
Are you serious..
😒
I totaly agree: Clean "r" like in Italian or in slavic languages, and less umlauts (more either/or i, u, e, etc). Clean and non-"pervert" sound.
For being a French person who's been living in Zürich for 4 years and a half now, I find Swiss German "Ugly cute", while German is quite "pompous". This is just me but I prefer latin languages anyway, they sound nicer to the ears.
Actually, and I didnt believe this initially, I rewatched this video 10 weeks into my full time job in a hospital and I actually do understand what they’re saying! And I had no clue whatsoever in the beginning. Whoever is watching this video and is getting desperate: you can do this! Just take your time=)
Same!!!!
I love hearing the different dialects! I hope you get to make a Platt Deutsch video, one day.
Endlich wieder eine Schweizer Folge!!
Merci viumau !
As a Dutch, I could surprisingly understand a lot without reading the subtitles
I speak English and Spanish and I can understand like half of what they say, is there a reason for this???
When they say “and you?” It sounds like “y tu” in Spanish which sounds exactly the same
Dutch and (schwitzer)Dütsch is often a bit simmilar. I think for us Swiss its easyer to understand some Dutch than for meany Germans. Cuz Sometimes swiss german is closer than standardgerman, and if not, we also speak standardgerman.
Me: I want to move to switzerland, is enough with german?
Swiss: NEI
I was offered a job in Luzern . In
condition I spoke German . No
problem I said. Arrived in Luzern
the following week. ..!! First thought : what language are they
speaking ? Must be Romansch ?
Anyway , it only takes short time to
become accustomed to Swiss German . And I have many happy
memories of Switzerland !!
as a Serb, that learned English when i was young, and moved to Germany and learn High German, i can't even comprehend what these people are saying
When you learn German for a few years and you think you’re pretty good at understanding it... you go to Switzerland and you realize you aren’t.😂
But this is not German, it's a separate language, like Dutch.
@@sergeyromanov5560 It’s a dialect, the video says that too. While it differs a lot in speech, it’s still German.
@@kanna9087 it's not a dialect and not "still German", it's its own language. It doesn't matter what the video says, research beyond youtube videos.
@@sergeyromanov5560 I learnt about it at school too, lmao and sorry, but I’ll believe a native speaker and one of our teachers was Swiss, so I guess she doesn’t know anything about her own country🤭
@@kanna9087 haha you're funny, what does being a native speaker have to do with classifying something as a language as a dialect? How many of those speakers are linguists?
Also ich bin ausm Schwabenland und mir fällt es super einfach das schwizerdütsch zu verstehen das es dem schwäbisch sehr ähnelt ich selber kann aber auch das normale Hochdeutsch sprechen
Servus aus München! Ich konnte ca. 90 % verstehen. Ich habe auch kurz in der Schweiz gelebt, wo ich noch 9 Jahre alt war, aber da konnte ich noch ganz wenig Deutsch.
Sag a moi!
Ich habe erst schwäbisch lernen müssen. Aber das hilft für ganz viele Dialekte im Süddeuschen Raum sowie für die Schweiz und Österreich :-) Mein Favorit: Breschtlings Gsälz Weggela ;-)
I am in love with the Swiss accent!
El suizo aleman es como el chileno para los hispano hablantes
Alejandro M Jajajajaj
¿De verdad? ¡Qué gracioso!
En realidad todas las variedades del español son entendibles mucho más que las variedades alemanas
Ni de lejos
seguro que NO ... las formas de hablar en Sudamérica son derivados de castellano puede haber fuertes influencias p.ej. del italiano (y otros idiomas) en regiones como Buenos-Aires …. El suizo-alemán es tan lejos del alemán oficial como el catalan del castellano.
German is the language I grew up with, but when I went to Switzerland for the first time I didn't understand a word. Once, I got approached by three men at night and I thought they wanted to rob me and then after speaking English with them I found out they were cops asking me if I was alright 😅 I've been to Züri a handful of times now and now I'm starting to understand the dialect
My brain broke trying to catch up with all 3 subtitles 😂
It's weird that I now prefer to refer to the Standard German instead of English to translate the Swiss German, it actually builds my confidence lol. Swiss German actually sounds like Dutch
Mein Kopf explodiert, als die erste paar Wörter gesprochen war. Ich musste die Hochdeutsch Untertiteln lesen, um zu verstehen. Als ein paar Minuten vorbeigegangen haben, konnte ich ein kleines Bisschen verstehen. Aber nicht viel. 😳 Ach. 😂😂 Danke für das Video!
Thats the thing. After a week by just listening to them and not learning anything you can understand the most of the time.
I was in Switzerland almost a year. While I never got the hang of speaking Swiss German ( Berndeutsch), it is still understandable to me now. But if I listen to a Wiener talk, I am so lost. Really enjoyed that video.
The older woman in red has an accent (probably english-speaking)
thank you so much !!!
I like this video, I like Switzerland, can you guys do more Videos about Swiss german?
Thank you so much !!😍🤗😍🤗
Wow! I actually felt like Cari rescued me at the end of that video 😂😂. I understood zero Swiss German. What is interesting is that when the two dialects were put side by side, I really noticed how much more I understood Hoch Deutsch. Even perhaps more than I realised before! It felt easy compared to its Swiss cousin! My brain was relieved to recognise Hoch Deutsch again. Very interesting video! Vielen Dank euch! Ich liebe ihre Kanal 🤗
And keep in mind, this is one of the easiest Swiss German accents for a German speaker. You go away from Zürich (Switzerland's most international city) into the mountains, it's going to sound even more different.

@Iris Bos In the German part of Switzerland*
I'm german and had been living in Switzerland for 3 years, it took me little over 6 months to fully understand swiss german bec it's so different from where I come from.
But swiss german in the zürich area is easier to understand compared to walliser german in the southern area.
I'm french and it's pretty complicated for us to understand french canadian. I guess Swiss german it's about same thing for german people.
Really? I mean, my French is quite okay and on the whole I got along well during a stay in Quebec. Didn't expect that before myself.
It's very different of French of France. We need subtitles in movies for exemple. @@zzy2620
I speak Swiss and High German as well as French. The difference is quite a bit larger between the German varieties. Specially because differences are heavely rooted in morphology, e.g. tenses, case marking, conjugation, double marking, auxiliary verbs, word order, word fusion, vowels, etc., all very much different. The upside: once you get used to the strange grammar, and sound changes, it is quite regular and most vocabulary is the same as in High German.

For everyone who doesn’t understand anything: I’m sure most of you will know two originally Swiss German words.
1. Muesli is Swiss German and literally means ‘small puree’ and is now used pretty much worldwide.
2. Putsch which originally means ‘to push’ in Swiss German but is nowadays used in many languages (sometimes also in the English language) to talk about a coup d’état.
It's used worldwide? I have never heard Muesli in my life. And I've lived all over the Americas. Heck, there are a few German speakers in the USA, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, but I've never heard it.
@@user-qv7rw7dq1d I've never been to any of these countries. But I've seen the word in the UK, in Canada, in Italy and in Norway and it's an official word in the English language. It's oatmeal, mixed with different kinds of fruit and milk or yoghurt. It's similar to granola.
I'm only vaguely aware of the word "muesli". I think I first was told what it actually meant in my first semester of studying German, but I still had to look it up when I read this comment. As for "putsch", oddly enough, I just learned (probably relearned actually) this word a few days ago when I tried to remember what Hitler went to prison for and read it was called the "Beer Hall Putsch".
*Müesli not Muesli
@@gilio105 Swiss girl explained, it is pronounced "Müesli", not "Müsli", as the Germans pronounce it, because that would mean "Mäuschen". Is that true in some regions?
What am I doing here. I don't even speak German! Came straight from Langfocus channel and through RUclips algorhythm.
So i just finally started understanding 80-90% of german, and then i desided to check out Swiss german. I'm done trying.
Es wäre interessant so eine Folge up Platt oder aif Jiddisch zu sehen !
I grew up speaking swiss german but i moved and forgot the language. Eerie feeling listening to this. Gonna re-learn it
for all the germans watching this video: you‘ll get used to and understand the swiss dialect so quick, but speaking it, you will never master it. Stick to High-German and you will just be fine😘
Nino, ¡Que felicidad verte en este video! ¡Saludes a Liz! 😗😗😗
Dear god! and I thought Hochdeutsch was hard enough...
If you're learning a foreign language, any variations outside the standard register would be almost impossible to understand.
Swiss german and german are so different.Vielen Dank für das video,freu mich für die nächste.
This dialect was incomprehensible to me while working in Zürich last summer and knowing some High German only. Honestly the only time I saw written Swiss German was when I happened to be on Tinder and reading peoples' bios 😂. Most TV shows and news reports had High German subtitles only, despite them sometimes speaking Swiss German, but it's not a standardised written language. Interesting video. Danke Vielmals!
I am from the south german state of Baden Württemberg. For me it is very easy to understand people from Zürich.
There are some more difficult dialects in Switzerland i have more struggle to understand but overall it is normally not a big deal for us swabian-alemanic
I'm a German learner, but Swiss German a little bit sounds like Swedish for me! This is so awesome! (By the way, German and Swedish are Germanic Languages, so it makes sense that they sound similar.)
Same for me! 🙌
As a Swede, I must say I don't feel the same way x)
Claudia war meine Deutsch Lehrerin als in Zürich gelebt habe! Jetzt lebe ich in den USA (mein Heimatland). Ich bin so fröh, Claudia in diesem Video zu schauen!
Swiss German ist still high German.
Platt is low German. And Dutch is very similar to it.
I appreciate that you translated it correctly into English. :)
Swiss Gernan is NOT high German. Full stop.
@@emjk77 lol. It is. The only other option would be low German. That are dialects/languages like Platt or Dutch

Maybe you are confusing High German with Standard German?
Dutch is not a dialect of German, it is a language in its own right.

She is just overdoing it completely. She tries to speak so clear and easy, that it gets weird for native speakers.
Claudia is my new idol! I just love her enthusiasm! I wouldn't stand a chance in Schweiz, though, but I was thinking of the word "Gipfel". We have "giffel" in Sweden. A small form of croissant with cinnamon. Can it be of the same ethymology?
the croissan-like "Gipfeli" has its name form the word "Gipfel", which means (mountain) peak. what about "giffel"?
Höi Zäme! It is not fair, I have been waiting for you guys for a long time but today when I am watching this video its already too late now. I wanted to be with you in Zürich. I am in Switzerland for 3 years. Before arriving here I learned Hoch Deutsch up to A2 level. But here it was all different. I could not even buy groceries as I was not able to understand Swiss German. It was a big shock for me for the first year. Now I am at least capable to communicate.
Freundliche Grüsse

The worst thing is that we have many different Schweizerdeutsch dialects in every canton T_T
And I think that's beautiful. :)
I think the most prominent things about the Swiss German accent in particular, is that their R is a plain rolled one, not the guttural one of the High varieties, and they don't voice their initial S before a vowel. Also their ch is hard by default, as opposed to soft like High varieties. Note the pronunciation of "milch". Makes it easier for non-German speakers to distinguish.

It sounds quite nice
Deutsch ist meine Muttersprache, warum schau ich mir das an
As a person who lived almost 10 years near the Waidfussweg tram stop, I feel so nostalgic every time I see the 13 tram in this video...
I must say I understood less than when I did when I didn't know any German and tried to figure out the meaning by the common vocab i could hear now and then. Swiss german sounds more like one of the Scandinavian languages. I can say I can understand written swedish to some degree ever since I've started learning german.
Plötzlich I found myself reading only den Hochdeutschen Untertittel - can't manage 3 (obwohl dankbar) sondern mein Deutsch sehr gut wird, thanks to EasyGerman 🙂
I really really loved this video!!! My mother's family is from Zurich, but I grew up in the USA. I spoke only Swiss German with my mother until I left home at 16, when I switched to English. I would like to go back to learning Swiss German better. Is there a way that you recommend to do this online?
Ich war echt überrascht wie stark dieser dialekt ist. Aber zum Glück hab ich nich fast alles verstanden, weil ich auch relativ aus dem Süden von Deutschland komme
I’m not racist. I’m not American
But they surely smile a bit more than Germans
You are absolutely right 💯 😊
The channel name is "Easy German", now you are coming along with Swiss German, lol.
Das gehörte Schweizerdeutsch erinnerte mich an den badischen Dialekt. Ich habe gefühlt 80% verstanden und mir den Rest zusammengereimt.
Warte bis Turgauer fragen, dann verstehst du gar nicht mehr.
@@happygimp0 Hä warum? Thrauer isch doch einiges eifacher.... wens Problem git de mit Nid/Obwälder oder Walliser.
Sehr gut, hilfreich.
Tolles Video! Spannend fände ich auch einen Vergleich von verschiedenen Schweizer Dialekten. 🤗 Liebe Grüsse 🇨🇭
Given that they can master this language it's no wonder that the Swiss are so powerful
Ich habe Hochdeutsch in der Schweiz gelernt!! Trotzdem kann ich nicht viel Schweizerdeutsch verstehen. Ich habe ungefähr 80% das Video verstanden 😅
I am a native german speaker, even from bavaria, where the dialect is much more similar to Austria and Switzerland then in North Germany. But I have to admit, that I can understand english speaking people with a strong accent e.g. North Ireland much better then Swiss Germans😂
Please do more of this swiss dialect videos cause im trying to learn but its really difficult
I used to live in Zürich ...that brings back so many memories 🤗🤗🤗
I see a lot of panic in the comments section, but no worry! I went to Bern for a year to learn German, and at the beginning I hardly understood a word. But then, I began to unterstand how it works. Lots of sounds are juste pronounced differently : once you understand that thing, you just need a bit of practice, and you can understand perhaps 80% of the everyday langage. :)
Okey, there is swiss standard german and swiss dialects.
Swiss standard german is pretty much the same as austrian or german standard german.
But as you said the pronounciation is different and some vocabulary but all in all you are good to go.
And then there are the swiss dialects, different grammar, different spelling, different vocabulary then standard german.
Sure standard german helps you to learn a swiss dialect but it's still alot of learning required to fully understand it.
Much like it helps to know french when learning spanish. It's a benefit but still you have to learn some different vocabulary,grammar and spelling all in all.
Ich lerne gerade Deutsch und lese ich nur die Hochdeutsche Übersetzungen, weil ich zumindest sie verstanden. Wunderbar!
Das ist unsere Probleme als Ausländer wir lernen in die Schule Hochdeutsch aber an der Arbeitsplatz niemanden reden uns Hochdeutsch alle reden direkt schweizerdeutsch 😞
لا عاد ترجع تكتب الماني مرة تانية

Einfach ganz lieb fragen, ob man es in Hochdeutsch sagen kann, weil man in der Schule Hochdeutsch lernt und du mit dem Schweizerdeutschen noch Probleme hast. Oder einfach kurz, sagen, dass du das Wort nicht verstanden hast in Schweizerdeutsch, ob man es in Hochdeutsch sagen kann. Mit Erklärung ist man vlt. aber hilfsbereiter.
Problem: Es gibt viele idioten, die mit Ausländer, die in Bruchdeutsch sprechen, auch Bruchdeutschsprechen :D
Du hast recht, es ist Stress für uns die Schweizerdeutsch
I'm from tyrol, austria and I can understand everything perfect, but obviously I can't speak swiss😂
Hoi , Ich grusse euch :)
ich finde es total geil was Ihr macht :) Gefällt mir sehr :) Ich habe davon sehr viel verstanden und es freut mich sehr, weil ich erst jetzt merken kann , wie toll die Sprache, die Duetsche Sprache ist :) :)

Jedes Mal wenn ich traurig bin, dass ich in Mannheim geraten bin und dieses ‚Mannheimerisch Gibberish‘ täglich anhören muss schaue ich mir ein Schweizer Video an und freue mich wieder. Dort hätte ich nicht überlebt.
I want to learn Swiss - German so bad. I have family in Switzerland and I would like to visit them one day speaking their language.🇨🇭🇨🇭
