I received this and was told there was no true translation. I'm hoping that someone can help me decipher it. Thank you!

Übrigens, jedes mal wänn du mir schriebsch gumpet mis Herz, ich freu mich wie äs chlines Chind uf dich. Han Dich gaaaaaaaanz fest lieb und du fehlsch mir!!!

By the way, every time you write to me, my heart skips a beat, i'm excited like a little child to see you soon. I (very!) strongly like you and I miss you.

Thank you so much for the translation. I really appreciate it!! That is so sweet

That's correct for the Zurich area. But, as most of us know, there are huge differences between dozens of Swiss German dialects. In a different area of German speaking Switzerland, the very same text may mean, "Sorry, no time for talking right now, I'm in a hurry. Gotta get some brown sugar before the daaaaarn stores close, and we are out of black beans too."














Just joking. It really is a sweet message!

Haha. Thanks Captain Greybeard...I appreciate the humor Your take on the message and definitely more entertaining! Have a great weekend!

btw, each time you write me, my heart jumps, I am happy like a small child, I love you soooo much, and I miss you so much

rhetoric question: why does one write a swiss german text to somebody that has no command of swiss nor high german? i dont get that...

He did this on purpose to be playful. He didn't think that I'd find a way to figure it out. And he had every intention of telling me what it meant. I was just trying to beat him to the punch by finding out what it meant before he told me.
