Yiddish Alef Bet

[77barmbeker]

Wunderbar...

[vttcascade]

They confuse Yiddish people and Germans. It's a bit annoying.

[Lagolop]

@vttcascade

What is confusing? Some Jewish ppl are German, some are English, some Canadian some Israeli etc etc.

Or are you confused about Yiddish vs German (languages). They are similar but YIddish is much older than Hochdeutch (modern German) and Yiddish is a High German dialect so it will differ. Closer to Swiss, Austrian and Bavarian.

[vttcascade]

@Lagolop Ave you ever seen Yiddish people drinking beer or wearing police cap ?

Some Jewish ppl are German, but Yiddish ppl weren't living in Germany.

[Lagolop]

@vttcascade

Yiddish is a LANGUAGE you idiot, not a "people".

As for Jewish Germans; yes, they have lived in Europe since 600 BC. The Rhineland was where Yiddish began. Like I said b4 Yiddish is based on Medieval High German.

Funny u ask about Jews drinking beer or being police; try going to Israel and see 4 urself. In fact I have a Jewish neighbour who is a cop and loves to drink at our local pub.

[vttcascade]

@Lagolop Hi

I try to explain what I mean.

The Jews spoke yiddish in east europe, before 1940. At this time they not drink beer, they wore no cop clothes no bavarian clothes. Anachronism.

PS I am in France.

[Lagolop]

@vttcascade

Twisted. U should seek help. I love how u try to stereotype Jews.

They arerlike anyone else; some drink, some drink too much, some not at all.

Etc etc.

What does any of this have to do with this great vid.

Can u speak Yiddish

Du drayt zikh arum vie a fortz iin russel mit ayer sphrakh :)

PS Jews in Bavaria wore the same clothing as any other Bavarian. I only mention this as I recently saw a picture of a Jewish kid in lederhosen. during WWII. On the suspenders is a Star of David.

[Lagolop]

@vttcascade

Here ya go check this out

watch?v=cEMvyp4NnEc

Pause at 2:33. It's hard to see but I have seen the actually photo online and it is much clearer. Unfortunately I cannot find it again. The guy is Sigmund Spiegel as a kid.

Not sure what your point is to say what you are saying.

[GreenJesters]

@Lagolop Lol.

@vttcascade

PS I am in Canada.

[chinesespeakwelsh]

[Lagolop]

@kaffeetrichter LOL, Yiddish IS old German. It's Medieval High German so it makes sense that it sounds old. I love Yiddish.

[partymariner]

Oh vay it's Shvither Man!

[1footsurgeon]

Anyone have the lyrics to this?

[G33KN3rd]

German + Hebrew letters = Yiddish?

[pianojerome]

@G33KN3rd Yiddish is indeed similar to German (and other Germanic languages like Dutch), but it also has influences from Hebrew/Russian/Polish/English So it's not the same as German, but its similar.

The alphabet is not used only for Hebrew, but also for Yiddish and Aramaic, just as the Roman/cyrillic alphabets are used for multiple languages. So I wouldn't call it the "hebrew letters", necessarily, but rather a general alphabet that is used for multiple languages, one of which is Hebrew.

[G33KN3rd]

@pianojerome Aramaic?! I speak Aramaic!!! :-D

[pianojerome]

@G33KN3rd Really? That's cool!  I didn't know anyone spoke Aramaic today. My only experience with Aramaic is from studying the Talmud. It's very similar to Hebrew.

[G33KN3rd]

@pianojerome slight problem though, the Aramaic I speak is heavily infused with Akkadian vocabulary, so it's barely related to Hebrew, the Aramaic I speak is called Assyrian Aramaic.

[pianojerome]

@G33KN3rd Plus, the Aramaic I read was written almost 2000 years ago by Jews, so I'm not surprised that it's changed over the years.

[G33KN3rd]

@pianojerome it's not that it's changed, it's just before Assyrians spoke Aramaic, we spoke Akkadian, so when the Assyrian empire decided to switch the national language to Aramaic, most people living in Assyria decided to mix Akkadian and Aramaic words together to be more comfortable with Aramaic since Assyrians were mostly used to Akkadian, that way they could speak Aramaic and still understand each other.

[felixtimbers]

Wow! This is a very dirty song...

[zionest18]

LOL IT IS NOT HEBREW IT IS

[rohan316]

Can someone translate?

[wuluki00174]

I love the dog! :-)

[HelloShitty08]

I forgot the police man in the bathrobe, the lion, the guy from mythbusters (the very right one) and the scottish jew next to him.

[HelloShitty08]

That....is so weird.

No one would believe me, if I say that a jewish Spiderman with afro wants to teach me the alphabet

[Lagolop]

@HelloShitty08

LOL, that is not an afro. Spidey is sporting a shtriemel (a fur hat worn by hassidic Jews). First worn by European Jews probably in the 1700s. I maya be wrong on the date but it was a looooong time ago.

[HelloShitty08]

I'm sorry, I didn't knew that. But now....looks like a fur hat from russia, you're right.

[Lagolop]

@HelloShitty08

I think that type of hat was from Poland originally but close enough I guess ;) It's still worn by many hassidic Jews (Ultra Orthodox), mostly on special occasions; not every day.

[jdi0093113]

The hat is called a spodik but is confused with the shtreimel. It is worn everyday by charedi(ultra orthadox) rebbes but the hat is worn by most on shabbos

[Lagolop]

@jdi0093113

Ya, looking at it again, I realize it is taller than a shtreimel. I stand corrected.

[alikisfinest]

@HelloShitty08 @ all the stupid people: It isn't a wig not afro style or something else... It is just a Strejmel. An occassins hat or cap, made or trimed with fur. :-S

It's so funny =]

[StrugatskyBrothers]

What does it mean, ואו זײַן עצה איז אַ שאָס?

[madjack617]

You have to prepend װילדע חיה to make the line complete ( װילדע חיה ואו זײַן עצה איז אַ שאָס ) otherwise it wouln't fit the pattern of the song. It means then: [The letter] Vav is a wild animal, its advice is a bullet [in the head].

[StrugatskyBrothers]

Ah, I get it. Thank you so much for replying! I have two more questions if you have time: does דאָס mean like "frummie" in the dalet line? And is חולירות like an insult?

[madjack617]

That's right. דאָס is a slang term used by secular

Jews in Israel as a derogatory term for 'haredi' (=orthodox Jew). And חולירות is a curse, so you could interpret it as an insult.

[aleebaabaa]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[StrugatskyBrothers]

Oh my God this is awesome.

[madjack617]

Exactly, because most of the Israelis don't understand Yiddish and this was shown on Israeli TV.

[madjack617]

(cont.) Yiddish-speaking people in Ukraine told me that Yiddish will only survive with the orthodox Jews spread all over the world. I love Yiddish very much but sadly I regard it as a "lost" language because it is cut off its origin in Eastern Europe. Even in Israel (where it could have become first language) very few people know it and the last Yiddish newspaper closed down.

[madjack617]

I agree with Lagolop's comment, but even though the origins of Yiddish can be found in Medieval Germany as today's language it is a result of the Jewish settlement of Eastern Europe (Poland, Ukraine. Lithuania, Russia, Romania). Because of the World War II it is hardly spoken in these "original" countries and most of the survivors (or their children) have lost it. I have found in a Ukrainian city (pre-WW II Jewish population: 35'000) a handful Yiddish-speaker.

[Lagolop]

keltronzero

Yiddish is spoken by Ashkenazi Jews where ever they may live (if they know it). Yiddish is essentially a Medieval Germanic language spoken by Jews initially in Northern France and Germany. Today it is most similar to Swiss or Austrian German. Yiddish also contains some Slavic terms, and even uses some Hebrew as well. I think the first language of Israel is Hebrew, not Yiddish but I imagine many Israelis of European extraction may speak it.

[moishe5740]

Can anyone tell me where I could find the Yiddish lyrics to this song. Thanks, Moishe

[huswsimonbla]

crazy how close it is to german and the slavic languages can clearly hear the influences

[lennier1]

Considering the fact that it began as a medieval German dialect and was mainly spoken by people in Central and Eastern Europe that´s to be expected.

[Lagolop]

lennier1

Actually, Yiddish began in the Rhineland areas of N. France and Germany. It is one of the oldest Germanic languages and in fact is closer to Swiss and Austrian German (and Bavarian) than modern German spoken in Germany today. It's a great language full of interesting phrases. I wish I could speak it (I'm trying to learn it).
