Swiss German is more than just a scratchy "ch," dull vowels, a rolling "r," and adding "-li" to nouns wherever possible. In Switzerland, there are not only many distinct dialects but also a Swiss German standard language that often sounds surprising, confusing, or simply amusing to ears from other German-speaking countries. More and more people of all ages are interested in the Swiss dialect. This small dictionary offers an excellent selection of the most common Swiss German dialect words, Helvetisms, and expressions from "AHV" to "Zwöierli," from "e churze Chut" to "jetz isch gnue Heu dunde." The translations and explanations help avoid common misunderstandings and improve mutual comprehension.
