How to Say "Sweet" in Swiss German

The Swiss German word for "sweet" is süess (also spelled süss in standard German orthography).

• Pronunciation: zü-ess (like "zoo-ess" but with a short, rounded ü as in French tu or German hübsch).
• Usage: De Chueche isch vil süess. (The cake is very sweet.)
• Dialect note: Swiss German varies by canton; süess is widely understood.

It derives from the same Germanic root as English "sweet" and standard German süß.
