German and Swiss German are quite similar, but there are some unique ways of saying Thank You in Swiss German.
High German or standard German is also used in Switzerland, so the following German phrases are also used in Swiss German.
Danke or Dankeschön – Thanks
Vielen Danke – Thank you very much
Herzlichen Dank – warm thank you, or heartfelt thanks
Swiss German has similar versions of thank you, but there is also some French influence mixed in.
For example, the typical Swiss German version of Danke is Merci – which is French.
Merci – Thanks
Merci Vielmal – Thanks very much
Danke Vielmal – Thanks very much
Of course, the spelling of Swiss German is not concrete because there is no official Swiss German dictionary.
