MUST KNOW Swiss German that no one teaches you 🇨🇭 Slang Words 

Please do a vid on common Swiss idioms! I love Swiss idioms: “Er schaut die ruebbli vo uuna an.” LOL!

I am currently living in Zurich and here people are very kind and most people speak English with me because I don't know Swiss German. You are an amazing teacher.! In Turkish, we say Sincap for Squirrel.

I loveee your videos! In Costa rica "squirrel" is ardilla :)

*Squirrel* is *Gulahri (گلہری)* in my language, which is URDU, one of the two official languages of Pakistan 🇵🇰. Lots of love from Pakistan 💜 You're really helping a lot of people out here who are trying to learn Swiss German. THANK YOU, and congratulations 🎊 for a new subscriber.

Danke, merci, Andrea.These are my first steps in Swiss German. In Russian squirrel is "belochka" and in Latvian "vāverīte". Informal way of 2 words greeting in Russian is "vsem privet", which also means "Hello (privet), everybody (vsem)".

this effort is just so generous of you

I learned eichhörnli when I was little! (when I was a "bibeli" as my parents would say). For animals, I learned the Swiss-German words first before the English ones, such as vögeli and of course Himmälgüügäli. In fact, even though I'm barely conversational in Swiss German, I'll still automatically say the Swiss-German words first! In French, squirrel is still difficult to pronounce! (écureuil... in every language that's a hard word!) When I was teaching English in France, I'd love to hear my students say squirrel and see them try to make the right sound

Hallo. I really like your energy & I am so much enjoy seeing your channel !! Thanks for teaching us here. You are amazing really!! Vielen Dank!!

I love your channel and the way you teach

I grew up hearing, and using, most of these "slang" words. However, several have appeared only since around 1970's. "Mega fein" has appeared only since 2000. In California we have imported Red Squirrels (from eastern USA). In Swiss, these are Eicher if they are adults, in my younger days my parents called them Eicherli if young (or small). An "eichornli' was an acorn, food for the Eicher. I am accustomed to a slightly different version of "pressant"... I mus pressiere !, or... Mir muissied pressiere !. The plural of "Pass uf !", I learned as "Passied uf !" (a long "E" sound, rather than short "e") Or perhaps its just the Zugger dialect...? In a hurry? "Ih mues pressiere !..." plural, "Wir mund pressiere !..." "Adee mitenand", if you are toward the west can be pronounced with the French "Adieu mitenand" That's all for now.... Bis bald ! (until later...)

Thanks. It is usefull😊

In spanish squirrel is Ardilla. Ar-di-lla with the accent in the i and doble L is read as an english j. 😊 Thank for the lesson!

S’Video isch mega fein!

Your amazing thank you teacher hope I can speak Swiss German in future

In Romanian, squirrel is VEVERIȚA. You read it vé-ve-ri-tza, with the accent on the first syllable (v is read like in English, not German). It is actually a very cute and easy word. Edit: It is actually one of the very few words preserved from the ancient language spoken by the Thracians/Dacians who lived in what is Romania now before the Roman Empire conquered.

In Austria, whenever people ask to hear something in dialect, the first thing people always seem to say is: Oachkatzlschwoaf (Eichhörnchenschwanz). Of course, each dialect may have a slightly different pronunciation, but that is, I suppose, the "Chuchikästli" of Austria. :P

Squirrel is Ardilla in spanish. But two L's besides each other makes a "J" sound. So it's pronunced as "Ardi-ja"

Adee is also used in southern Germany.

Great video, hi from Australia! 🐨

In just 113 more days I get to try out what I’ve learned!! Merci!!!!!

In Irish(Gaelic), squirrel is 'iora', 'iora rua/glás' = red/grey squirrel. Red squirrel are native to Ireland, but greys came in from the US a few decades ago and are the more dominant species now, although the reds are making a comeback in certain areas thanks to conservation efforts. :)

Squirrel is "esquirol" in Catalan (very similar)

Ekorn is the term in Norwegian

In hungarian squirrel is mókus Ó is the long version of o and s is like sch in german

Thank you for your interesting lessons.🙏❤️ Gruezi from Kyrgyzstan.💕 Eichhönli* in my kyrgyz language is " tyinchichkan" .. and it consists combinations of two words :a coin 🪙 and 🐁 mouse.

What TV shows, movies, music, articles, YT channels or books in Swiss German can you recommend? Since there are not many media through which one can get to know this language, I was hoping if you could give us some resources, please. 🙏🙏

I have to say that Tip Top is very, very passé in American English. Not even used since the late 1800s or early 1900s perhaps. When I hear it used in CH, I cringe.

Wait... there are non swiss people who have swiss friends😅🤔?

Eichhörnli: سنجاب 😅 arabic
