Definition
Swiss means relating to Switzerland, its people, or its culture. It can also refer to a person from Switzerland.
Usage & Nuances
Usually written with a capital S: 'Swiss'. It is commonly used as both an adjective ('Swiss chocolate', 'Swiss banks') and a noun for a person ('She is Swiss'). Do not say 'a Swiss person' if 'Swiss' alone sounds more natural in context, but both are possible.
