Swiss people are very polite. They love to Grüezi each other. Even as they fly past you on a bicycle or something. I just went into a supermarket and every member of staff said "Grüezi voll!" as I went through the store... great video!

It was so interesting.. when I was in Switzerland, I felt like every shop owner greeted me differently. There were a lot that said “Grüezi!” But there were also a lot of other different words too! Wish I would have written them all down!

Gruëzi, Andrea. Finaly I found a good teacher for Swiss-German. 🙏🏻 My mother was Swiss but her father went tot Belgium for his job and they stayed in Antwerp the rest of there lifes. My grandparents and my mother passed away more than 30 years ago and I always was in love with the Swiss dialect. Now I go to refresh my knowledge about it. Thank you for this wonderfull initiative on KZbin.

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

What a wonderful story! Where in Switzerland did your mum come from?

[@dewattman]

@@SwissGermanBeginners My grandfather was from Bern and he went to Antwerp in 1928. His familie came from Köniz. My mother was Born in Belgium but during the war 1940-1945 she lives in Swiss in Bern and by a aunt in Glockental. There she went to school and learned Swiss - German. Later, when I was child, we came every year in Swiss to visit the family and so I learned to understand the wonderfull language. My mother passed away 30 years ago and the only way to be in contact with Swiss-German is listening SRF1 radio now. So I am happy to see you at You Tube now.😊🇨🇭❤️

When I first arrived in Switzerland I started “eavesdropping” on people’s conversations in the train just to try and make sense of it…slowly but surely (at the same time learning German in school) it came more naturally than actual German. I love this language. It should not be a dialect.

[@disdonc6012]

I'm Swiss and I've never heard of only "zi". Most of the times you would also mumble the beginning, just very quickly so it get's more a "ezi". And what's more to say... in these days a lot of people also tend to use "Hallo" instead of "Grüezi". This isn't considered so informal anymore even among adults / older people. Actually even the "Hoi" and "Sali" are used less often than some years ago. They are often replaced by "Hallo" as well. With one exception: When adding the name, you'd rather use "Hoi" instead of "Hallo". So it's either "Hallo" only or "Hoi xy".

[@anomalie3034]

Ich mach das, ich säg amig/ mängisch nume "zi" oder eifach nur "'zäme"/"'mitänand" Oder ebe "zi metänand"

That's a really great video with some basic everyday phrases, liked it a lot!

Btw, one question I've had in my mind for a long time but still not able to find the answer: What is the difference between simple "Grüezi" and "Grüezi wohl"? My guess that the latter is a more polite/respectful version but I'm not sure. In what situations one should you use "Grüezi wohl"? Thanks in advance :)

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Hi Valerii, thanks for watching my videos! :) I'd say "Grüezi wohl" is a bit outdated maybe. But I also use it sometimes, especially if I should know but don't remember the family name of the other person (and this happens quite often). :D So instead of saying their name "Grüezi Frau Müller", I just say "Grüezi wohl", to make it sound longer, haha. But these are just nuances and I'm sure other Swiss people would explain that differently.

Could you explain why you say “ich hät gern es Bier”? I would think the verb conjugated should be “ich ha gern es Bier”. I am seeing this sometimes in your conversations.

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Very good question, Grace! "Hät gern" is subjunctiv II and that's why it's different (=I would like). But you are right "ich ha" would be the indicative present form.

[@kathrinrothlisberger5539]

Es bier bitte

[@vanessamargelisch8187]

When you say "ich ha gern es bier" it means that you like beer, or that you already have one because "ich ha" means "I have" and "Ich hät gern" means "I would like to have" :)

[@vanessamargelisch8187]

But as one mentioned before, you could also just say "es bier bitte" which means "a/one beer please".
