from the Graubünden

  • 1 Swiss cantons

    All names of cantons are masculine, and the definite article is normally used:
    Ticino
    = le Tessin
    Valais
    = le Valais
    Graubünden
    = les Grisons
    So:
    I like Ticino
    = j’aime le Tessin
    the Valais is beautiful
    = le Valais est beau
    do you know Graubünden?
    = connaissez-vous les Grisons?
    Many cantons have names which are also names of towns. If you are not sure of the name in French, le canton de X is usually safe, and in some cases this is the only form available, as, for instance, le canton de Vaud ( because le Vaud sounds like le veau = the calf). Similarly it is usual to say le canton de Lucerne, le canton de Berne, le canton de Fribourg to distinguish them from the towns bearing those names).
    In, to and from somewhere
    For in and to, use dans le or dans les, and for from use du or des:
    to live in the Valais
    = vivre dans le Valais
    to go to the Valais
    = aller dans le Valais
    to come from the Valais
    = venir du Valais
    to live in Graubünden
    = vivre dans les Grisons
    to go to Graubünden
    = aller dans les Grisons
    to come from Graubünden
    = venir des Grisons
    to live in the Vaud
    = vivre dans le canton de Vaud
    to go to the Vaud
    = aller dans le canton de Vaud
    to come from the Vaud
    = venir du canton de Vaud
    Uses with other nouns
    There are a number of words used as adjectives and as nouns referring to the people of the canton, e.g.: bernois, valaisan, vaudois. When nouns, these start with a capital letter.
    However, it is always safe to make a phrase with du, de l’ or des:
    a Valais accent
    = un accent du Valais
    the Graubünden area
    = la région des Grisons
    the Vaud countryside
    = les paysages du canton de Vaud
