💬 What Does "u guet" Mean in Swiss German?

In Swiss German, the little word "u" (pronounced like "oo") is used as a booster — it strengthens the meaning of an adjective. Think of it like saying "sooo good" or "super tasty" in English. Instead of just "guet" (good), you say "u guet", which means really good or very good — with emotion and emphasis!

 

đŸ„Ł Example:

👹‍🍳 "Wie isch d'Suppe?"

đŸ‘©â€đŸŠ± "U guet!"
→ "How’s the soup?"
→ "Sooo good!"

 

Katrin Erni, a passionate Swiss German teacher, shares this trick in her live course. Every Monday at 8pm, her online classes dive into fun, useful topics like this one — where learners not only hear the language but get to speak and connect in Zoom meetups after the stream.

 

“Next time, I want to talk about the little word ‘u’. It opens many doors – we can explore so many topics with it. It’s a way of strengthening adjectives. For example, not just guet, but u guet! My husband makes soup — and it’s u guet! My daughter cooks Asian food — and it’s u fein! We can do this with many adjectives!”

This small word "u" is your shortcut to sounding more natural and expressive in Swiss German — and having more fun with it too! 🎉

Want to practice saying things like "u schön," "u lustig," or "u spannend"? Come join the class — you’ll be amazed what this one little word can do!
