suiza

Swiss woman

noun SWEE-sah Rare

Usage Note

Suiza is the feminine demonym for a Swiss person (una suiza — a Swiss woman); the country itself is Suiza, and the masculine is suizo. Note that the well-known sugar-glazed bread roll is un bollo suizo or un suizo (masculine), not una suiza, so the two should not be confused.

Examples

"Mi vecina es suiza y habla tres idiomas."

Natural Translation

My neighbour is Swiss and speaks three languages.
