فنا, Fanaa vs Chrüsimüsi

(poll at the end)

فنا, Fanaa (Urdu)

[fənɑ:]

Translation: To be destroyed, ceasing to be, death, vanishing

Urdu is an Indo-European language belonging to the Indo-Aryan branch, but includes borrowings from Arabic and Persian. It’s the national language of Pakistan and spoken by 164 million people there (by 15 million as their native language). It’s spoken by x million worldwide, of which 62,8 million are in India (50,8 million as their first language), mostly in use by Muslims in the provinces closest to Pakistan. Urdu is closely related to Hindi and the two are intelligible. Urdu is primarily written with the Arabic script, but in India it can be written with Devanagari script instead.

Motivation: Fanaa is often used in poetry and songs because the word is beautiful to speak and also because it describes the essence of tragic love stories in a single word

Note: The submitter had submitted the translation “to be destroyed in love”, but I could find no proof of the love part though the word seems to be used poetically. It's an Arabic loanword from فَنَاء, fanāʔ meaning annihilation, evanescence, extinction, perishment.

Chrüsimüsi (Swiss German)

[χɾyzimyzi]

Translation: A mess (in a kind of endearing, mild, childlike way), chaos

Also known as Alemannic, Swiss German is an Indo-European language belonging to the Germanic branch. It’s spoken by 5,2 million people in Switzerland and is part of the Continental West Germanic dialect continuum, so maybe it’s less a single language than 50 dialects in a trench coat. Although called “German”, it’s not inherently intelligible with Standard German, but since Standard German is used in schools people learn to understand it. There are 20-70 varieties (only a few of them are listed as dialects for some reason) that differentiates regions, cantons and villages.

Motivation: It uses the typical Swiss German "ch" sound that many other languages don't have, and it's just overall fun to say! Plus the two parts of the word rhyme, and it's a great word to use when you want to describe a mess in a not too serious way :)

Büsi (swiss german) vs pisică (romanian)

info and propawganda under the cut!

Büsi /ˈbʏ.z̥ɪ/

i think its a very cute word :3c it's cognate with english 'pussy' but it doesnt have the vulgar connotations in swiss german.

technically same as pussy, but doesn't get used in the same way. closest translation is kitty but lots of people use it to just refer to cats in general in everyday conversation without any connotation

pisică /piˈsi.kə/

the pspspspsp onomatopoeia makes it awesome

thank u for sharing swiss words such as znüni bc I havent been able to find anything on learning swiss german but I also havent been able to understand anything when visiting switzerland so at least I know the word for snack between breakfast and lunch

You’re so welcome!!! I love sharing stuff about swiss german 🥺

Also fun fact: the afternoon-equivalent to znüni (for a snack between lunch and dinner) is zvieri :D

There’s this woman on instagram (and probably also tiktok) who offers a swiss german „course“, (and i think she also wrote a book about learning swiss german), her videos could be a fun way of learning a few words: https://instagram.com/swissgermanbeginners?igshid=MmJiY2I4NDBkZg== (it’s unfortunately a dialect from zurich so be warned lmao)

And this guy is also funny sometimes: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Csbk1k3LBcX/?igshid=MmJiY2I4NDBkZg==

Song #16

As someone who knows a tiny little bit of German, this sounds familiar, but not actually very understandable. I get some words here and there, but Swiss German is just that bit further away from Dutch that there's less I can guess. But not understanding the lyrics of a song has never meant I like a song any less, and that's also true of Angscht.
