BTW its Swiss equivalent may be "burgerlich", which is otherwise the German for "bourgeois" – a lovely example of a false friend. I've often wondered how to translate "burgerlich" in the approving Swiss sense, and now you've inspired me. "That's a burgerlich/yeomanly front door you have there". | |
