Best Answer

in Switzerland, they speak Swiss German. I think "Wie Geht's?" (informal, to a friend), or "Wie Gehen Sie?" (formal, to a stranger)

they are pronounced "Vee Gates" or "Vee Gayen Zee"

Answer #2Not completely correct... I will not indicate rumantsch (a 100% latin derived Swiss language). The other languages are German, french and Italian... all having their own Swiss dialect forms (but dialects are not used for official writing).

There is the difference if you know someone or if you don't...

Italian: come stai (friend), come sta (stranger) - "how do you stay..."

french: comment ça VA (informal)

tu v'as bien? (friend), vous allez bien? (stranger) - "aller" means "to go"

German: wie geht's dir? (friend), wie geht's Ihnen? (stranger) - "how does it go for you?"

The "wie gehen Sie" would have the meaning of "how do you walk" (stranger) and this would really be a question about the way someone walks :)

swissgerman is most time very close to German... but with slight differences among the regions...

wie geit's dir, wie gat's dir (friend) - wie geit's ihne, wie gat's ihne, wie geit's euch, etc. (stranger)
