| | "Swiss German" sports kit - translation
Anyone know what a "Schoner" and a "Bidon Trainer" is or WTF "Für das Tenu ist gesorgt" means.
Is "Tenu" a word?
Full context: it's what my boy needs to take to his Football Turnier on Sunday.
Everything is clear apart from the RED bits Mittnehmen
Duschzeug, Turnschuhe, Schoner, Bidon Trainer, 1 x Socken, 1 x Badetuch etc. Für das Tenu ist Gesorgt
Background:
The writer of the words is my Son's new Football Coach
Oh don't get me started on it....oh sod it, here goes:
The previous Coach communicated clearly in Hoch Deutsch and English, but now I get a gob full of Schwiizer Tüütsch transmitted in 5th Gear.
Guess the rest...

Bidon Trainer is probably a water bottle.
Not sure about Tenu.

Bidon Trainer are two words, the comma is missing.
Trainer = tracksuit

To take with you.
> Browser equipment, gym shoes, socks, bath towel etc
> the (das Tenue) dress is provided by the organizers
> "Schoner" is for the goalie who has the knee protection gear, but not for the rest of the team
> the "Trainer" is of course the training dress, but what the connection to a "bidon" (can/bottle) may be is beyond me
In case of doubt, give the chap a phone-call. The choice of words looks to me as if the man is not of German mother tongue | This user would like to thank Wollishofener for this useful post: | |

| | Re: Quick "Swiss German" sporting translation | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | | Schienbeinschoner of course is correct. It is what I had in mind. But the rest of the team does not have them.
When I was in a football-club, most of us had their own football-shoes, but the coach always had some football-shoes of various sizes ready somehow

And, to me those "everybody" are what in German is called "Weicheier"
