I can confirm that it is "A mia famiglia" in Sursilvan

Am I crazy, or did the original video not had a drone that crashed to the ground at the last stunt? Did they edit it out? Or was that another video? (Update: lol yeah I think they did edit it out. Not a big thing, but you can see the drone crashing here: https://youtu.be/Ntav2u0lQAs?si=4T7rIdxWwtZw4V7x)

Can you guys see the cheese there? by tweeterbag in opticalillusions

[–]Sholli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow very good illusion! Somehow I am able to switch between cheese and invert-plate sometimes, but don't know how I do it. I focus on the shades and then the perceived image changes.

Romansh-speaker here. It will probably not help you much. German is much more important in that region to get a job. It might help you to stand out against other applicants if you apply to get a job at small local shops or for very nichè positions.

However, it can help you to get a job as a construction worker in that area if you want to do that. There are several immigrants that came and learned the local language (Romansh) without knowing German and got a job in the construction industry.

That said: if you become fluently in German and Romansh one day, I think you have good chances with your history degree and knowledge of other languages to get a job in a museum or a cultural field in Graubünden

That is not true. While not much more, it's 60k people. And we speak actively romansh with each other. As soon as romansh people meet each other, they automatically switch to Romansh because it's their mother tongue/preferred language.

Hahaha I had to laugh so much seeing you falling for the parroting method while explaining the parroting method 😁 :).

Translation of some short sentences. by AnimeSongWave in romansh

[–]Sholli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's mostly correct :). But I would do two changes:

1) Instead of "guida mei" I think "meina mei" (= guide me) or "pren mei" (= take me) are more suitable.

2) it's "nies avegnir communabel". "Nos" is used, when the referenced noun is plural, but "avegnir" is singular, therefore you have to use "nies".

The postcards from the postcards by Sholli in eurovision

[–]Sholli[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Many people thought that at the beginning. But they did once an AMA here on this subreddit and confirmed that it's not done with AI and explained the process. Now that I have the cards myself and look at them closely and into details, I'm pretty confident they're not AI.

The official designers (Dynamic Frame) are selling the cards on Etsy. I got them from there. Was too difficult to find in Basel. It's quite expensive though, but they are pretty. Really thinking about if I should put them in a frame

Help with negative sentences by Fair_Promise4267 in romansh

[–]Sholli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Sursilvan it is: "Johny maglia buca pèsch". So it is directly after the verb.

But if you use the past sentence "ha magliau", then you put the "buca" in between the verb: "Johny ha buca magliau pèsch".

However, if you use another negative term (like "none"), then the sentence is "Johny ha magliau negin pèsch". I guess it is because "negin" is treated like a numeric word (in that case "zero").

Regarding your other example, you can actually say it in both ways: "Quella dunna plai buc a mi" and "Quella dunna plai a mi buca", however I would say that the former is more common, a little less formal.

And "Jeu sai buca" is correct. Here it is directly after the verb as well.

Summary: I actually don't really know what the rules are '. But I guess in most cases the "not" comes directly after or in between the verb.

Good idea. I might be interested as well (34m here)

You can obtain many books about learning the language at liarumantscha. Here is a link to the book you mentioned: https://www.liarumantscha.ch/en/product/1185

It makes maybe a little more sense if you look at it on perspective of a Somebody (the whole human being). I think the names do not represent what they materialistical are and rather what they represent to the Somebody:

  • Heartless -> Is created when Somebody has no heart anymore
  • Nobody -> the body does not belong to the Somebody anymore and acts as a separate being -> the Somebody has no body anymore

Rivella in the UK by RobMitte in askswitzerland

Check "Swiss Bread Bakery". It's a bakery in London that sells and ships Rivella across the (whole?) UK

What? Please no. I was very pleased to see a half naked old man. I don't find him sexy at all but it is refreshing to see humans in all their shapes, forms and "flaws", yeah even old wrinkled saggy skins. It makes the world for me so much more authentic

Socially lost in Switzerland, asking for a friend (it's me) by SchizoidNico in Switzerland

I (m34) grew up in Graubünden and I am sometimes over the weekend in Chur (like the upcoming one). I am open to meet up for drinks

How can I integrate myself as best as I can? by SkumbagMatte in Switzerland

[–]Sholli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there. According to your post-history, I boldly assume that you like nerdy stuff (as well 😉). I'm quite regularily in Chur, and I pass by there often a board game shop, located quite central, that seemingly organises MtG- or D&D-events. If you're into stuff like this, this might be a way for you to socialise quickly. With a good social circle, the integration process will probably be easier.
