Swiss German Lesson 3 | Numbers 1 to 10

[@schepismusic13]

Thank you so much for teaching swiss German! It's been a quite a path for me to learn both German and swiss German (my boyfriend and his family are swiss), and you're quite the lifesaver!

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

@@schepismusic13 that means a lot, thank you 😍 you can be proud of yourself!

[@rodrigocalixto470]

i love the focus on pronunciation, you are a great teacher! :)

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Thank you very much, Rodrigo! Danke :)

[@okami-design]

Thanks for putting your videos on YT! Now i'm kinda learning 2 germans at one time :D Sometimes it's confusing a bit, but i really like it :) I've always wanted to learn german and I already know some things, but I have never tought Swiss german is so different. It's a bit sounds like mixing german with italian and i dunno, some northern language :) It's really interesting! And your teaching style is really great, I'm enjoying learning from you, you probably have a nice personality in life too :)

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

So nice of you to say! 🤗 Thank you! So glad you like my videos 💛

Wo ich war (kanton Sankt Galen, neben Österreich), hatte ich "Zwo 2" und "Füf 5" gelernt. Dieses Jahr 2023, würde ich "Zwo tausig drü u zwanz'g" sagen... Und diese Videos sind SUPER !!! Dankre viel mol !!!

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Ja es ist je nach Kanton etwas anders 😊 mercii!

The pronunciation definitely helps me understand! Also quite funny that foif sounds sounds just like five in a Dublin accent! LOL!

[@PhilipStarritt]

Thanks !

[@dangelgeek]

Does always your German was like that or at the beginning was like Germany country? Because you have equal words

[@wkostowski]

Ich war einmal (schon lange her) in Wallis und falls ich mich gut daran errinnere, es ging so: äis, zwäi, drii, viär, füf, sakchsch, siäbi, åcht, niin, zah.;)

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Klingt gut 😃😁

[@marissalipinski2010]

I've noticed that sometimes Swiss German speakers add an "i" to the end of some of the numbers that you mentioned in the video (ex: nüüni). Are there only certain contexts where that makes sense, or can you do that anytime? Merci vielmal!

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Yes true! When you count, you don't add an "i". But if a number becomes a noun, then you say "s Nüüni, s Zäni etc." Also if you talk about time. You say "am nüüni, am vieri etc.". Hope that helps? ☺

[@ezatjawadi4733]

This is 2 months I'm living in Switzerland. Swiss German language is very important 4 me. But I'm worry how I should learn it. Your videos is very useful 4 me, thanks. Do u have pdf?

[@pierre-henridastros1145]

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Yes, that's because it's a slightly different dialect :) Unfortunately we don't have any rules of how to write things in Swiss German. So everyone just writes the way they say things. My dialect is a Zurich dialect, which is known to be one of the dialects which are most similar to German. Maybe watch my Quick Guide to Swiss German. This might give you more insight.

[@smolli91]

@@SwissGermanBeginners for example "foif" is very specific for people in Züri. The most common in swiss german would be "füüf". Would be helpful, when you would explain words that are a typical "Züri-dütsch" like foif and not common in other parts of switzerland. Zudem find ich Schaffhuser und Thurgauer Dialekt nöcher ade Süddütsche Dialekt und generell em Hochdütsch fode Ussproch und betonig her. Züridütsch isch generell es bitzli härter ide ussproch, vorallems "R". Au s"A" isch meh eh mischig zwüsched "A" und "O" als es klars hochdütsches "A" wie zB in "Acht". Endig "-er" isch im Thurgau au nöcher am badische oder schwäbische als Betonig ufs harte "R" ohni "E" im Züridütsch. Generell sind die Dialekte an der Grenze nöher an den jeweiligen Sprachen der Nachbarländer. zB auch der Rheintaler Dialekt ist sehr nahe am Dialekt von Voralberg in Österreich.

[@JavierZamora87]

Oh. My. God. Ok numbers are quite similar but Swiss German and German are completely different languages. I can see the similarities, they are quite similar if you compare but at the same time are different. So, if you study German at school and all official documentation is in German, but in the street and at home you speak Swiss German... you learn the two languages at the same time! If a have very little knowledge of German and want to learn Swiss German because I want to go to Switzerland, should I learn both languages at the same time? Should I learn German first, at list some basic level (because is the German written there) and after that start with Swiss German? I am quite confused. I speak two languages (Spanish and English, also very little German) but two new languages at the same time... it is terrifying! What would you recommend?

[@JavierZamora87]

Btw, very good video!

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Hi Javier, don't worry, you'll manage! :) I suggest you learn some basic German before you learn Swiss German. Like this you can compare the two languages which is easier than start with Swiss German right away. For German you'll be able to find a lot of material and courses.

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Thank you! :)

[@hamzaifli5537]

Why Ein schluck kaffee and not eis schluck kafee ?pleas

[@SwissGermanBeginners]

Because "Schluck" is male (de Schluck). You use "eis" for neuter nouns. "Eis Chind" for example. (A child)

No, we have two ways of pronouncing "ä". Zää and Ärger are pronounced differently. Also it depends on the dialect.. some pronounce ä differently from me 😅
