nöd (Zurich) or nid (Bern, Lucerne) instead of nicht; kei as in standard German.

I chume hüt nöd.

I ha kei Ziit.

Same rules as in German; the pronoun du often sticks to the verb (Chunsch? = Kommst du?).

Wänn chunsch?

Häsch Hunger?

The verb goes to the end, but the order of the final verbs is often the reverse of standard German (dass er hät chöne cho).

I bi froh, dass er hät chöne cho.

Always « wo », whatever the gender or case; with the Dativ a pronoun is often added (de Maa, wo n i em ghulfe ha).

D Frau, wo da wohnt, isch Ärztin.

S Velo, wo n i kauft ha, isch rot.

wenn + verb at the end, and the conditional with würd / hett / wär.

Wenn s schön isch, gömmer go baade.

Wenn i Gäld hett, würd i reise.
