Hey guys, in your opinion, what are the swiss german words that sound great?

tschüssli!

*by the way, you live in brazil right now? i can see this is your very first post, it will really give you a good start if you make a introductory post in the introductions section so we all know a bit more about you and warmly welcome you.

Härzliche wöikomme to the forum.

True... I've been to Zürich in august and i loved that place... too bad i was in a hurry and couldn't spend more time around... planning to go back to Switzerland someday

Oooh and please, give the translation for the words! I don't know swiss german (or any german)!

ok, tschüüs is like Bye, and then tschüüslii is like a sweeter way to say it. my 2 year old son says it like that and melts me everytime

most def' huäräguät

Nagot, but that's Ticinese.

Don't speak much German around here (though my wife is quite fond of saying "Heil, Hitler").

Any word in which the Swiss pronounce every letter where Standard German would blend two together, e.g. liebi (love). I particularly love the i-e sound (liebi, liecht,...)

gigampfi = seesaw

I like all the words ending in -i because they sound like diminutives. For example - Voki (Voci?), i.e. vocabulary, Rüebli (carrot), Kafi (coffee), and so on.

Rüebli, just like most words with -li, is a real diminutive, and you can use -li with practically every noun except Fränkli and Räppli, the use of which will inevitably ruin all your efforts of making Swiss friends.

Voki, like Chindsgi (Chindergarte), Ufzgi (Uufgobe = homework), Landi (Landverband, yes, the farmers' store), Migi (Migros), Zigi (Zigarette), Ggoggi (Coke), Flugi (Flugzüüg = airplane), and probably hundreds of others, are just short forms, they all bear a tad of endearment but not diminution. This does not apply to all words with -i, though, see Röschti, Schlufi (rascal), Lappi (moron) and quite a few more, and Kafi is just the Swiss way of pronouncing Kaffee.

erm...i have to confess...none?!

"yes I speak English" . whatever that is is Swiss German

mega geil! und keianig (keine Ahnung = no idea)! should be there on the top.

ein Fehler meinerseits!

I like this saying:

Das schleckt chei Geiss weg

(You can't deny the inevitable, or literally: no goat's going to lick that off)

Tzviri (*).

(*) Spelling open to correction, Ich kann nicht Schwyzerdütsch sprechen.

Schätzli

Loved this sweet word so much, I called my first little kitten Schätzli which is actually a play on words in French.

I love 'Yo genau' Which I think is like saying 'yeah, true' or 'oui vraiment'
