Yes, all Bernese say "äuä" and yes, you know the word too, but nobody who didn't grow up in Bern really masters all forms of the everyday word.
Even if the people of Bern are considered slow, sometimes we «hurti» have to do something. That will be done quickly.
The word "parasite" sounds a little less decent.
If you're a little drunk, the word looks almost similar to its origin, "rigid neck".
Not to be confused with going to the bank in Basel. With the "bänggle" you throw something somewhere with full force, for example a "Chnebu".
Is not Anglicism, but the Bernese word for "weigh".
You know that annoying, tiny, tiny wound in the corner of your mouth? Please, here you have the floor.
Bern German makes a lot of things just sound sweeter. That's why "sneak" becomes "düssele".
You can't close your drawer because of all the scarves? Voilà, there is a «Gstungg» in there.
Drinking bottle. Finished.
The absolutely cutest Bern German word describes the ladybug.
Sitting around in your favorite pajamas all day on a Sunday morning with a hangover? Your roommate in Bern will now refer to you as "Hootsch"
Hangover, not the one after too much alcohol, but a male cat.
That polarizes. Some like it, some don't. The language is from the cutting of the bread.
lighter. Quote from my mum: "Yes, it works, but it doesn't work - Peut-être - Pöteterli."
Also better known in the rest of Switzerland as tadpoles.
Has less to do with snails than browsing through shops - at a snail's pace.
We only become Bernese quickly when the «Tschugger» come around the corner and something illegal has been done.
Two is too boring for us. We distinguish between "two men", "two froue" and "two Ching".
So that even the little ones already know how to ask for the toilet, we dedicate the first letters of the alphabet to the bathroom and call it "Aa-Be".
Where others argue about "Butter" or "Anke", we simply put a "Mödeli" on the table in the morning.
No, when you go "Gänggele" you don't hang around with your gang, you go to the kiosk to buy a few "Hubba Bubbas".
If the Bernese have something up their sleeves, they are always a bit on the "bosse".
Even if «Chafli» is reminiscent of coffee, it is not very advisable on a date. A «Chafli» always has to touch everything, to the chagrin of everyone.
Fortunately, it cannot be translated literally, but it still means bad weather.
If your partner is a "fegnäscht" it will be wild in bed - unfortunately not necessarily in a positive sense.
Everyone has probably done it before and was forbidden by mom: playing with candles.
Honestly, a "Fynöggeli" is sometimes just a "Mimoesli" and is so too delicate and dainty.
This is how we call all the odds and ends that are out there.
If you have "hinech" a date, you have to get ready for tonight.
Have you ever tried threading a thread into a needle? THIS is a «Gnifu»
