How do you say Santa Claus in Switzerland?

Answer 1

There is no one Swiss language, there are several language spoken in Switzerland. It would depend on the area of Switzerland you were in.

**Actually, there is a Swiss language and I know this because my grandfather immigrated from Switzerland to America and he spoke Swiss. It is a dying language as the "Uppercrust" Swiss do not like to share it. He also spoke German, French and Italian. All of which are spoken in different areas of Switzerland. In German, Merry Christmas is Fröhliche Weihnachten. In French it is Joyeux Noël. Unfortunately I do not know the Swiss language as my grandfather passed away without passing his language on. If you look it up, you will most likely find it in German.

Most likely what every your grandfather spoke was a German dialect.

Answer #2"Swiss language" usually means the Swiss dialect forms of German, French and Italian (Rumantsch is 100% Swiss). The dialects are NOT dying... at least not by now...

French itself doesn't consist of that many very different dialects. Italian on the other hand is very different to the sound of Swiss Italian (containing much more latin); the same can be said for Swiss German - that is mainly a kind of medieval German... evolving in a different way than the German of Germany (due to cultural split up). What in fact has changed is that the dialects are no more in use for written language of official documents...

So in German: "Frohe Weihnachten", french: "Joyeux Noël", Italian: "Buon Natale", romantsch grischun: "Bella Festas daz Nadal"

Swiss German would change "Frohe Weihnachten" to somewhat like "Frohi Wiehnacht".

Happy Christmas
discusting and terrifiying. that's how.

Answer 3

It would be pretty close to our usage, as this is a Germanic country in part. They have a holiday on December 6 ( festival of St. Nicholas) called the (Klausjagen) literally Claus- Hunt. this is a parade with wild and festive outsized hats as a main attraction and they are patterned in part off Bishop"s headgear as original St. Nick was one of these churchmen ( unlike modern Santa with a ( Santa Claus or red and white Jester"s cap). The Klausjagen has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Christmas, by the way and there are no yuletide trappings to this fest, held I believe in Zurich.A short story was done on the subject called ( The Tallest Hat) I had the fortune of being exposed to in a PS.l7 English class at a sort of reading unit which had snapshots of live ( all favorable) in foreign countries. This was English, Not Geography.
