how do you say thank you in swiss
In Switzerland, there are four official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. Here are the ways to say “thank you” in each of these languages:
1. German (spoken in most of Switzerland):
– Danke (DAHN-keh) – formal
– Danke schön (DAHN-keh shern) – more formal
– Merci (MER-see) – informal (used in some parts of Switzerland)
2. French (spoken in the western part of Switzerland):
– Merci (MER-see) – formal and informal
– Merci beaucoup (MER-see boo-KOO) – more formal
3. Italian (spoken in the southern part of Switzerland):
– Grazie (GRAH-zee-eh) – formal and informal
– Grazie mille (GRAH-zee-eh MEEL-leh) – more formal
4. Romansh (spoken in the southeastern part of Switzerland):
– Grazia (GRAH-zee-ah) – formal and informal
– Grazia fitg (GRAH-zee-ah FEET-g) – more formal
Note that while Romansh is an official language, it’s spoken by a relatively small percentage of the population, and you may not encounter it as frequently as the other three languages.
