Everyday Zurich

Dealing with a Bünzli

«Bünzli» is Zurich's word for the neighbour who knows the house rules and enforces them — laundry day, quiet hours, the cardboard. It is rarely meant badly. Argue and you lose; thank them and ask where it is written, and you have peace.

Every line is machine-checked against Zurich forms: forms from other dialects or from Germany do not get through.
