Please do a vid on common Swiss idioms!
I love Swiss idioms:
“Er schaut die ruebbli vo uuna an.” LOL!
I loveee your videos! In Costa rica "squirrel" is ardilla :)
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.
Thank youuu 🤗
*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.
Oh I love the persian alphabeth! 😍 So great to have you here, Aneela. آپ سے مل کر خوشی ہوئی I hope that makes any sense 😅
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
Thank you so much for this, Claudia! Yes, squirrel and also écureuil indeed are difficult to pronounce haha. So nice that the Swiss German words come to your mind first!
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!!
Thank you so much! 🤗😃
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)".

S’Video isch mega fein!

Your amazing thank you teacher hope I can speak Swiss German in future
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...)
Thank you for adding your knowledge, Frank! Very useful!
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!
Great video, hi from Australia! 🐨
Aww thank you! Greetings from Switzerland 🐮
In just 113 more days I get to try out what I’ve learned!! Merci!!!!!
Awesome 😃🙌 will you go to Zurich? Just because of the differences in dialects.
@@SwissGermanBeginners in Zurich the first day and last 2 days. Few days in Lucerne. Most days in Lauterburren. Couple days in Bern. Decided to just stick to Zurich dialect and hope for the best! If they think I’m from Zurich that would be funny.
Adee is also used in southern Germany.
Squirrel is Ardilla in spanish. But two L's besides each other makes a "J" sound. So it's pronunced as "Ardi-ja"
Ekorn is the term in Norwegian
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
Ahh how cool! Thank you for sharing! Omg it seems like such a difficult word 😅
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.
Wow thank you for this interesting fact, Livia! Love it 😍
in slovak veverica
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. :)
Oh wonderful story! Yes I heard about that. I love Gaelic 🥰
squirrel is mókus in Hungarian
Squirrel is "esquirol" in Catalan (very similar)
5:52 Eichhörnchen in meiner Muttersprache (Portugiesisch) ist "esquilo"
In hungarian squirrel is mókus
Ó is the long version of o
and s is like sch in german
Sweeeet 😃😁😍
Squirrel en français : écureuil !
Es isch mega fein, viele typische SwissGerman Wörter zu wissen. Für Eichhörnli sagt man bei uns Tupai 🐿️. Wird die Endung -chen in -li konjugiert? En schöne us Indonesie und genieße den wunderbaren Frühlingswetter liebi Andrea
Aww how sweet! Tupai ❤️ Ja, -chen in German is usually -li in Swiss German. Mäuschen - Müsli, Bäumchen - Bäumli, Hündchen - Hündli etc. Ich wünsche dir eine tolle Woche, Dina! Wie ist das Wetter bei euch?
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've made a video about the best movies to watch: th-cam.com/video/wQvSYC1t30Y/w-d-xo.html You can listen to the musician Bligg for example. There aren't many YT channels nor books unfortunately. But I'm working on that, too. :)
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.
how would you say “ the best couple ever” in swiss german!! ur the best🤗🤗🤗
Thank youuu! "S beschte Päärli wos git!" Or we also say "S beste Päärli ever!" 😁
@@SwissGermanBeginners thank you so much!! Mercii!😊😊😊
Squirrel is wiewiórka in Polish
In Polish we call an Eichhörnli 'wiewiórka' :D
Wow, I'd love to hear what that sounds like 😃
this video is much more than tiptop
😄😄 thank youu!
In Zürich onde I herd "jara uff" what does it means. Is something like go up time to sleep
Mm I honestly can't think of anything.. 🤔
In Zuri dutsch, I have heard "her uff" used in the sense of " be quiet", "get away!" , " go on" perhaps "shut up!".
Squirrel 🐿 would be Ardilla haha
How would you say “ i miss you so much “ in swiss german😁😁
"Ich vermisse dich so fest." You might find more useful phrases about love here: th-cam.com/video/tGL3hC6epsA/w-d-xo.html 😍
Hi Andrea, I have a question.
Once I’m fluent in German can say it is my native language although I would have learned it??
Native language is the language you grew up with.. so I don't think you could call yourself being a native German speaker.
Eichhörnli- egern 🇩🇰
In Spanish squirrel is ardilla
Siii me gusta mucho 😃
Squirrel in romanian is veveriţă
sincap is eichhörnli in Türkish
Sweeeet 😃
In Brazilian Portuguese, squirrel = esquilo
Like it 😍
Squirrel is “song shu” in Chinese mandarin. Not so difficult to pronounce
Wow how cool to know the word even in Chinese! Thank you for sharing 😃
Eichhörnli = ardilla in Spanish
That sounds nice... much nicer than in Swiss German 🙈😄
How would you say
“My mom would like to invite you and your mother for dinner at my house for 5pm” in Swiss German? 😊😊
"Mis Mami wet dich und dis Mami am 5i bi mir dihei zum Znacht ilade." 😁
@@SwissGermanBeginners Swiss German is so different from Hochdeutsch.
In German, i would say
“Meine Mutter würde mag zu Einladung dich und deine Mutter für Abendessen bei mein Haus für 5 Uhr“ 😊😊
In português is "ESQUILO"
Love it 😍
In italiano si dice scoiattolo
Uf Finnisch heisst eichhörnli Orava, nöd so schwierig und ganz eifach zu säge
Orava, tönt au sehr schön! 😃
Wie heisst ds Dorf?
Musch rötle... ☺️
Eichhörnli uf Tschechisch isch veverka. Brösmele heisst bi öis drobit. Umebrösmele wär drobit kolem.
Oh interessant! Veverka tönt schön!

다람쥐 [da ram g] in Korean
de mandarin est 松鼠
Beautiful.. I wish I could read that.. 😊
@@SwissGermanBeginners if i were there, i could teach u how to pronounce that
That would be great ☺️
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.
Whaaa no “SALI”?? 🤣🤣
Eichhörnli: سنجاب
😅 arabic
Beautiful writing.. I wish I could read it or hear it 😍
@@SwissGermanBeginners
