I love this song. I sang it once.

Man Thats coach Frankie! He used to coach me in football great guy.

Yivo in New York has Yiddish classes on line starting in the fall, both conversation and written.

We had a friend who recited a poem by him called Ich Streich. I wish I could find it.

Diese Musikarten nebeneinander zu spielen ist UNFAIR!!!

I like how the Yiddish speaker laughed after the German speaker said the line about the lawyer, like he just got the joke after hearing it from the German speaker.

I feel like we got short-changed with this Yiddish speaker.

It is mostly like Swiss germane

Galizian dialect sounds more similar to German than this guy’s Litvish (Lithuanian).

For me as a native russian and german speaker , jiddisch is very good understandable. 😁👍🏻

As a native German speaker, and a long history of family background that are Jewish, and Yiddish speakers, i can understand everything. When i visit my cousin in NY he doesn't speak German but he speaks Yiddish and him and i are able to communicate easily.

verdammt die Sprache ist so ähnlich!!

Yiddish sounds more like Dutch.

Some of the yiddish words are the same as the swedish ones

Beautiful!

איך ליבע דעם שיין לידעל. מיין בובבע האט עס מיר אָפט בוילז!

I've been learning some German for a while, took a break to learn more Japanese, now hearing this I want to get back into German AND learn some Yiddish. It sounds awesome!

El de la derecha habla yiddish y el de la izquierda alemán

Often the verb is not put at the end of sentence in yiddish

Es ist sehr wie schlesische deutsch mein Opa sagt geven und Omas sagt geveysn

the words really seem like they could be german but the phonology sounds really dutch and i can't wrap my fucking head around it, it's so confusing

Sehr schön

American shopkeeper here, I asked many local hasidic jews how I could speak to them fluently when there is no app available for yiddish to learn and they told me that if I spoke German to them they could understand it. just a fun fact in case Duolingo being without yiddish made you feel wanting even though they have German UPDATE: Duolingo now has Yiddish!

03:12 War das ein verstecktes Kompliment an die Dame? Hat er sie "schönes Mädchen" genannt anstatt "Freundin" zu sagen? Es gibt doch auch ein separates Wort für "Freundin" auf jiddisch oder nicht!? 😁

Whats the song at the intro? Thx

Being German travelling in Israel I have had fluent conversations with ohne side speaking German and the other side speaking Yiddish. Same thing with Mennonites in the US speaking Pennsylvania Dutch (which sounds a lot like Yiddish).

German was my first language and I can understand Yiddish.

yiddis is basically what some austrians are speaking.- we have a LOT of yiddis words in our dialect....

es hört sich eher an wie deutsch vor 200 jahren -was in einer engen sprachinsel (jüdische Viertel ) im "Ausland" /USA mit englisch konfrontiert wurde... nur der Slawische Satzbau irritiert.Wie das passiert ist,ist mir ein rätsel! Es ist allerding mehr deutsch davon zu verstehen als ZB schWitzerdütsch oder plattdeutsch. Ein sehr interressanter Beitrag; Thumps UP !!!

Ich verstehe Jiddisch genau so gut wie Deutsch...

Эту и многие другие песни перевел в на идиш Арон Вергелис - главный редактор журнала Советиш геймланд(sovetish heymland). Тексты некоторых советских песен публикуются на странчке Арон Вергелис в ФБ facebook.com/aronvergelis/

Yiddish is easier to understand than Pennsylvania Dutch imho

also ich finde man kann sich da gut reinhören, dann versteht man fast alles :-)

I literally understand Yiddish better than Swiss-German

מזכיר לי את הילדות

Yiddish is a blend of Turkish and German. A video such as this is a moot point.

Ich finde in der jiddischen Sprache steckt viel vom platt deutschen bzw. So werden manche Wörter ausgesprochen. Ist das niemandem aufgefallen ?

Toll, die Ähnlichkeit der Sprachen.

Where are You from ? I liked the idea of Yiddish karaoke😊

Lovely song of childhood. I don't speak Yiddish, but I understand single words, although it is my "מאַמע-לאָשן"

Nice nostalgy... thank You.

Never knew Hebrew and Yiddish were two different languages I thought all Hebrews spoke Hebrew .... so how do I find an Israeli woman who speaks Hebrew and not Yiddish? Is there a certain part of Israel I can go to to find women who speak Hebrew and not Yiddish ?

After nearly one minute of screeching music I lost interest.

Someone said that German is broken Yiddish.

This is interesting, as an austronesian language speaker, Yiddish sounds like an englishman trying to speak german, in an intermediate level, with hints of hebrew of course

@6:00 Zu den Zahlwörtern: Das Yiddishe "fünnef" und "siebenzig" habe ich als Bub normales Hochdeutsch sprechende Erwachsene benutzen hören, wenn sie zum Beispiel Zahlen durchtelefoniert haben, damit es keine misunderstandings gibt.

@3:40 "Ich bin zu schnell gegangen [gefahren] auf der Chaussee ..." The word CHAUSSEE (French noun) harks back, I presume, to the Napoleon wars when major parts of Germany were under French influence. (I know that the upper stratum not only of the nobility used to speak French back then). As young boys, we used CHAUSSEE instead of the high German word LANDSTRASSE. Here is a nice poem using CHAUSSEE for rhyming purposes (Chaussee - weh). It also implicitly makes it clear that Chaussee, in fact, means LANDSTRASSE. Altona is a part of the city of Hamburg: DIE AMEISEN - Joachim Ringelnatz (1883-1934) In Hamburg lebten zwei Ameisen, die wollten nach Australien reisen. Bei Altona auf der Chaussee, da taten ihnen die Beine weh. Und da verzichteten sie weise, denn auf den letzten Teil der Reise. So will man oft und kann doch nicht und leistet dann recht gern Verzicht.

Yiddish is a mix of German and English

I don't understand why there are so many "dislikes" on this & one or two other videos of similar subject material. Is this some kind of YT anti-semitic display?
