Are you sure the Swiss are not somehow related to an aboriginal group in the Amazon rain forest? I have studied their language extensively and they have a line going "Chaiba chogga chuchicheschtli", meaning "Good morning sir, can I serve you a cup of tea?"

webdog,
I think you are right about that! These tribes might be distant relatives of Swiss people, descendants of early emigrants from Switzerland. Even though, almost NOBODY emigrates from Switzerland, as they believe to live in the best country in the world!

Saying "Chaiba chogga" instead of "Cheibe chogge" changes the meaning completely!

It's like me getting a single word's pronounciation in a sentence wrong in Cantonese, making people either stare at me blankly or, even worse, roll on the floor with laughter...
:lol:

bbchris,

This is a good example of the difficulties we face in learning Cantonese!

I had to speak your sentence above five times slowly to my HK-Chinese wife till she understood me! And then she laughed at me!

Aieeeyaaah! I give up!
