Please note: Some of the Swiss-French words or expressions listed here are unique to Suisse Romande. However, some of these words are used elsewhere, but with different meanings. For example, “cornet” in Suisse Romande means “plastic or paper bag,” but it also means “ice cream cone” in both Switzerland and in France. Also, some Swiss-French words are used in France, but are just not as popular, like using the word “souper” to describe the evening meal (i.e., supper or dinner). *“Faire les courses” typically means “to do the grocery shopping” in France. **While “Tout de bon” means something like “Je vous souhaite le meilleur,” this phrase (“I wish you the best” in English) is not commonly said. In France, you would more likely hear “Bonne journée,” instead.
