Sädele

Sädele is a term that can refer to a few different things, primarily in Swiss German dialects. Most commonly, it is a diminutive form of "Sack," meaning a small sack or bag. This usage is often informal and can describe anything from a small cloth bag for carrying items to a small paper bag.

In some contexts, Sädele might also refer to a small stool or low seat, derived from the word "Sädel" which can mean a seat or a small hill. This usage is less common than the meaning of a small bag.

The specific meaning of Sädele can depend heavily on the region within Switzerland and the context of the conversation. It is a colloquial term and not typically found in formal written German. Like many diminutives in German dialects, it conveys a sense of smallness or endearment. Understanding the surrounding words and the situation is key to correctly interpreting what is meant by Sädele.
