In Switzerland, laundry day is very organized!

​Many buildings have shared laundry rooms with strict schedules. Everyone has their own day to wash clothes—Swiss precision at its best.

But for me, laundry day is every day! With four teenagers at home, there’s always something to wash. 😅
​
How about you? When is your laundry day? 😊

Grüezi Frau Häller.
Hello Mrs. Häller.
​
Ich ha gseh, dass Si hüt zum Wösche iitreit sind.
I have seen, that you are entered in the list for doing the laundry today.

Jo, genau. Ich ha hüt Wösch-Tag.
Yes, exactly. I have a laundry day today.

Cha das sii, dass si scho fertig sind?
Can it be, that you are already finished?

Nei, ich mues no e Maschine mache, aber denn bi-n-i fertig.
No, I have to “make one more machine”, but then I’m finished.

Oh, chönnt-i denn schnäll no e Maschine obtue?
​Oh, could I     quickly put on a machine after that?

Chasch guet schwümme?
Can you swim well?
Nei, überhaupt nid. 
No, not at all.
Ich fühle mi im Wasser nid so sicher.
I don’t feel so safe in the water.
Ich bi lieber a Land.
I prefer to be on land.
Das isch aber schad, do verpassisch öppis.
But this is a pity, you are missing out on something.
Bsunders a heisse Summertäg isch das doch s Beschte, wo-d chasch mache.
Especially on hot summer days, this is the best thing you can do.
Das schtimmt. 
That’s right. 
Chasch du mir leere schwümme?
Can you teach me how to swim?
Vilicht überwind-i denn mini Angscht.
Maybe then I will overcome my fear.
Jo. Das cha-n-i scho mache. 
Yes. I can do that.
Ich bi nämlich e richtigi Wasserratte.
I happen to be a real water rat.
Ich ha scho chönne schwümme, bevor i i di erschti Klass cho bi.
I already could swim, before I came to the first class.

Conversation 3

Als erschts muesch d Angscht vom Wasser chli verlüüre.
First you have to loose your fear of the water.
Wie wär’s wenn mir is Alpamare würded goh?
So how about us going to Alpamare?
Wiso nid?
Why not?

Mir chönd so quasi als Belohnig goh, noch mine erschte Schwümmschtunde.
We could go as a reward for my first swimming lessons.
Ich glaube, ich fühle mich besser, wenn i scho chli vertrauter bi mit em Wasser.
I believe, I will enjoy myself better when I am a bit more familiar with the water.

Conversation 4

Hilfe, Hilfe!
Help, Help!
Ich cha nid schwümme!
I can’t swim!
Ich vertrinke!
I’m drowning!
Nur kei Panik. 
No panic.
Do isch es gar nid so tüüf.
Here it’s not so deep.
Gsehsch du chasch do schtoh!
See, you can stand!
Chum ich zeig dir, wie das goht.
Come I show you, how it goes.
Als erschts muesch mal leere touche.
First, you have to learn how to dive.
Heb d Nase zue und versuech uf de Bode z sitze.
Hold your nose and try to sit down on the floor.
Gesch, es isch gar nid so eifach, z vertrinke!
See, it isn’t that easy to drown!
Du hesch automatisch Uuftriib.
You automatically go upwards.
