How do you say hello in Swiss?

Answer 1

There are four official languages in Switzerland. German, French, Italian and Romansch. In the case of German, Standard German is only used as the written language and in communication with strangers. The spoken language is Swiss German. There is no one 'Swiss' language. You did not say which language you wanted to use. Swiss German is spoken by about two thirds of Swiss, but it also has strong regional dialects. So in Swiss German, your question would be similar to one of these forms:

Wiä gat's Inä? Wiä gat's? Wiä häsch äs?

Answer 2

There are 4 main languages in Switzerland:

German is spoken by about 64% -----Hallo

French by 23% ------Bonjour

Italian by 8%------Ciao

Romansh is spoken by less than 1% -----Ciao/Tgau/Allegra

Answer 3

to say hello is :

teja (most common)

souzinà (polite)

Answer #2Whatever this is... it's not Swiss... in Switzerland they speak either (Swiss)German, french, Italian or rumantsch...

German: hallo - or Swiss(German): halo, sali, tschau

french: salut (giving the swissgerman sali)

Italian: ciao, salve (giving the swissgerman tschau)

rumantsch: allegra

Answer 4

There is no Swiss German official language.

I have never seen a Swiss German dictionary.

Additional comment: This is true about the language not being "official" as in you can't really write it. There are so many dialects that no one could agree on exactly how to say the same word, much less spell it. It'd be like trying to officially write in a southern accent (but West Virginian or Texan?) or New England (but Boston or Maine?) but with far greater differences. Like how do you write an entire language in Jamaican dialect? You write it in High English, so to speak, instead. Same goes with Swiss German and High German.

Swiss German dictionaries do exist but they are regional and often quite difficult to understand since it's hard to convey how to say the word with no real standardized spelling as well as sounds that don't exist in High German.

That said, hello is pretty straight forward. The formal way in most regions is "Grüetzi". In Bern, you'd say "Grüessech". These are a short, compressed form of saying something like "Greetings to you".

Answer 5

The first person plural is mir (instead of wir in Standard High German).

Answer 6

Bonjour
