[cryztyanus]

Haha... very funny :)

[phrenzy1]

I speak a little German and the other day I was sitting in a dentists office and heard two older ladies talking to one another and I kept hearing words I knew buti couldn't pick up the conversation, it wasn't Dutch and it wasn't Hungarian, it only occurs to me now that it must have been Yiddish! Could someone recommend to me, if I could only learn one, should I try and pick up Yiddish or Hebrew?

[MrWillywax]

@phrenzy1 Matter of fact, to put it bluntly, Yiddish could be defined as a German dialect written in Hebrew

[dmeisler1]

@MrWillywax

Since they are both Germanic languages descended from the same origin, namely medieval German, one can just as easily say that German is Yiddish written in latin letters. They are sister languages – like Portuguese and Spanish. “A language is a dialect with an army and navy”.

[CheEinora]

@phrenzy1 I'd rather learn hebrew - it's easier to find people who speaks it, because mainly there's only old people speaking yidish.

[gazrobbo53]

@CheEinora But those old people, who you dismiss so easily, have more to say, have more life experience, than we will ever know if Yiddish is allowed to die. Yiddish was almost wiped out by Hitler, but the language refuses to die, Listen and learn from your elders

[1EvilScooterKitty]

[imaof4]

Ich fershtais noch a bisel. Fer vus de vort "shlepp" und nisht "gain"?

[metelits]

@imaof4 shlepp is "drag", so it's got more resonance....

[imaof4]

@metelits Thanks for the reply - I'm not a Yiddishist - so I'll defer to your expertise.

[metelits]

@imaof4 ober du redsts a bisl?  Shayn!

[imaof4]

@metelits Ich redn, lainen und shreibn Yiddish, nar nisht zaayer gut.

[skaterdbl]

@imaof4 ani lo yodat et ma atta omarim 

[imaof4]

@skaterdbl English translation: I speak, read and write Yiddish, but not well. I hope you don't mind my correcting your Hebrew: ani lo yodat ma sh'at omoret.

אני לא יודעת מה שאת אומרת

[skaterdbl]

@imaof4 ani yodat aval za kashah lechtov como za. lo kashah beevreet

[naamatt2]

@imaof4 האמת היא שהתרגום הנכון הוא "אני לא יודעת מה את אומרת". התחביר ב"אני לא יודעת מה שאת אומרת" לא נכון.

[Janneygirl101]

[Podginater23]

yiddish is really similar to German

[Nadav34]

They are sister languages.. steming from the same germanic family.

[Podginater23]

thanx, then where is yiddish spoken cus it sounds more like southern german eg. niSHt not niCHt for example

[Lagolop]

@Podginater23

Yo (yes in Yiddish), I am not an expert but I know that Yiddish is essentially Medieval High German, but nowadays it is more similar to Swiss or Austrian German. As Jews migrated eastward into slavic countries, some slavic terms were incorporated and of course there is some Hebrew words in it. The accent and dialect seems to vary a fair bit. It's a cool language!

[difencrosby]

@Lagolop only 20% of Yiddish has loyshn-kodesh words

[Lagolop]

@difencrosby

If that. Yiddish was the language of the home and common dialog. Hebrew loshn koydesh was never spoken except in prayer. I think ppl over emphasize the fact that the occasional Hebrew word was used in Yiddish vernacular but the fact remains that Yiddish is essentially Medieval High German with a Hebrew word here and there as well as Slavic terms that became incorporated when the Jews moved eastward into countries such as Poland.

[Lagolop]

@Podginater23

Yiddish is spoken by Ashkenazi Jews (Jews of Germany). It started a loooong time ago. It is not a language of any country per se, but was spoken by European Jews. It began in the Rhineland and then moved as Jews took it with them. Today it is not as widely spoken but it is experiencing a come back as Jews of Ashkenazi origin are learning about their roots. OTOH, it is often the the language spoken in di heym (home). It is referred to as the mamaloshen (mother tongue).

[MISTERMORTVIDEOS]

it would be a million times besser if he was chassidish! the yiddish wouldnt sound like he read off a paper

[turnover7]

ok, thanks! there are parts that i can get because i studied german, but of course not everything...

[exeklopman]

literally, oy vey would translate to german as "ach, weh". Nu? is like eng. "so?" or german "na, und?"

[turnover7]

Can I ask...

What do the words oy, oy vey, and nu mean in Yiddish?

[RabbiReport]

I think the literal translation is "oh, woe." "Oy vey ist mir" meaning "Oh woe is me."

[yehudabendavid]

oy, oy vey means.....oh my god and nu means, when!!!!!

[moshepipick]

You can see more of this performer by googling the words 'funny' 'Jew'.

He's the first thing that comes up.
