go / cho: in the Perfekt, people often keep only go, without gange: I bi go poschte (I went shopping).
la (lassen) is also repeated before the infinitive: Er laht s Auto la flicke (he's having the car repaired). aafo (to start) takes nothing or z: Es fangt aa rägne.
z = zu: Es isch schwirig z verstah. With a separable verb, z goes in the middle: aazlüüte, ufzstah. für z = um zu (in order to): I spare für z reise. ohni z = ohne zu (without).
am + infinitive + sii = to be doing something right now (like English -ing): I bi am Choche (I'm cooking). Very common in speech.
Mir sind geschter go schwümme.
Yesterday we went swimming.
I ha vergässe aazlüüte.
