Ich habe kürzlich immer Ihre Videos geschaut, und viel gelernt. Ich finde, dass Sie eine sehr sympathische Lehrerin und sogar die beste . 😊 Danke vielmals !❤

Slowly learning from Kenya

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Yayy I love Kenya. How is it going?

[@slrdave6308]

Thank you for the lessons. Trying to digest a small amount in case I can visit before the year is over. But when I hear myself it's not so good. I feel I can pronounce standard German better as an English speaker.

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

I'm sure you're doing fine! And Swiss people will love your English accent :) so don't worry about not pronouncing it 100% correctly.

🤭😂🥳🤣😂🙃😘merci vielmal. Mhm Jaja Guet Ja ...🥳

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

😁

[@domvssapientiam665]

Hoi Andrea! Can we say „isch ja super Wätter“ when the weather is terrible? I mean, do the Swiss enjoy a bit of sarcasm or not really? Merci Vielmal Love your videos!!

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Yes, you can definitely say that! Most Swiss people will find that funny 😁

[@peggysalpineharvest6933]

In the sentence "mümmer chli gnüsse dusse," I understand the role of most of the words. mir (wir) mussen (chli) geniesen drausen. But what role does "chli" play? Is it the same as the high german "klein?" So would that then be like saying, "Yes, we must enjoy it (a bit) outside?" or something?

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Translated word by word it would be "We must a bit enjoy outside". So "chli" is "a bit". And "mümmer" is "we must". So it's "We must enjoy it outside a bit." or just what you said is fine too.

Hey, money is not a taboo, whatever you asked a Swiss person, the most frequent answer is "five francs" ;).

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Haha :D Maybeee

"Swiss people don't like small talk" I completely disagree, I live in a WG with Swiss and they are sitting outside every evening for hours on end chatting on and on, I can't even keep up

[@broytingaravsol]

is "bin" not in germany german? the corresponding in swiss would be "bi"

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

You can say "bin" or "bi" in Swiss German. Both are fine. :)

[@broytingaravsol]

@@SwissGermanBeginners danke sehr

[@igorasicki170]

I have a question about saying "ja, ja". Is that actually rude to say that? I heard it means something like "kiss my a**", but I hear so many people say that. Is that more about how you say it? I'll be obliged...

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Yes exactly, it really depends on how and when you say it. But in any case, I don't think it's rude. Usually it's used to agree with someone. But it can also be used to show that you don't believe what the other person is saying.

[@fresskoalbanese]

I'm still saying "Hoi" anyone can hear me..??😃😃

[@cucurucu753]

What does "chli" mean, please? Both in English and hoch Deutsch? For examplin the sentence "Eifach chli müesam mit dem Corona". Also "glii" please.
