Discover these Hebrew Words Hidden in Yiddish

[@history-online]

You have inspired me to attempt Yiddish as my next language-learning project. 🙂 I think I will start out with Colloquial Yiddish, as it has audio and a more traditional grammar book. If anybody has suggestions, I would be grateful to hear them.

[@joannbarnstein5998]

Love Colloquial Yiddish!!! Check out Sheva Zuckers volume 1. Yiddish Book Center has it with the answer key that you order separately

[@rewschreijewschreier]

nice to see your videos gaining steam.! :D

[@vanrpontes]

Nice!! Im brazilian jew and started to learn hebrew last july 12th... very excited here.. in love with your content thank you from Brazil!!

[@multisingual1241]

So happy to have you here and good luck on your Hebrew learning journey! 🙂

[@martinkullberg6718]

What a beautifull words! My favourites were the ones ending in vowels like : levuna, skuna, shedra etc. In my language we also have a word for crazy: mesjogge , I think it has the same roots. In a sentence : 'Die is helemaal mesjogge' meaning: That one is totally crazy And more like wise words like: ponem , bolleboos, gallisch,jajem, etc. It is highley interesting 😃

Some words that we use in austrian dialect that might be Yiddish - Schmira stehn (~guarding something) - Havara (~Friend, Pal)

[@multisingual1241]

Oh wow thanks! These are great!

[@sashaisobelaspen1232]

Kind of surprised to see how much I forgot and when you explained I was like " oh yeah that's what it means" 😅

[@multisingual1241]

Well the pronunciation is completely different as well. It wouldn’t click as the same word in your brain if you didn’t recognize it. 🙂

Wow you’ve got a bunch of these!

[@degamergunni6071]

@@multisingual1241 yeah and i grew up with much of this words there you can see 1700 years jewish life :-) when its ok i send you right here the english wikipedia link .-) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotegorisch ... my bavarian grandfather got the same in his german dialect but his called Lachoudisch... don't matter lotegorisch or lachoudisch, both means Loschon koidesch 🙂

[@omiumn.7829]

This is very interesting but some of these aren't transparently Hebrew. Can you give a translation for these?

[@degamergunni6071]

@@omiumn.7829 hi :-) some words i'll find out by myself because i tried to learn hebrew, and some are in books , one is calling: Lotegorisch, die Pfälzer Händlersprache, the other one is called Lachoudisch sprechen, from R. Hoffmann. I'll also found a pdf from the small village eichstetten, where they also use the same words like us, of course some words are original hebrew like rewach, and some become germanized :-) for example, palatinates sayin medde, bavarians say middes...both comes from hebrew mitach, the bed :-) you count both as secular western yiddish languages. i still remember a small poem my father once told me it says: ,, Lau lone in de medine, kei moos im kis, die bor is pattersch, de dalles gewiss'' and in these two books, there is also the yiddish/hebrew origin inside, but as ä german i dont speak it out correctly.. but i'm tryin when ist ok i'll can give you the internet links 🙂 have a nice day @omiumn.7829

[@KostyaT]

Bashert is not from Hebrew, it's a fully Germanic word :) It's a cognate with German bescheren

[@Ichrubbeldiekatz]

I recognized "Mischpoke", then there's "Geseiere" (superfluous, useless talk, chatter), "Ganove" (gannáv?), "Masel" (my father uses it a lot), "Chutzpe", "Meschugge", "Hawara" (Chavir?). I can add "Betucht" (Betuch, batuach), "Ische" (Ischa), "Kies" (kis), "Hals- und Beinbruch" (hazloche und broche, Hazlacha uWracha), "Tacheles" (tachlit), etc. But there is also a German word that is used in Israel, "Klebeband" (as far as i know). 😁

[@multisingual1241]

Oh wow these are some good ones! Looking back now I could have made this video about the top 200 Hebrew words in Yiddish instead of 100 😄

[@Ichrubbeldiekatz]

@@multisingual1241 You could make a second video about it, since so many words come from Hebrew, even a third, fourth, fifth...? 😁

[@multisingual1241]

@Ichrubbeldiekatz great suggestion! I’ll get right on it

[@chanaselwyn9265]

Angel is spelled מלאך. Easy way to remember is king is מלך. Ángel starts with A so add in the א. מלאך

[@rewschreijewschreier]

Charbn. Charrin. (like they're are charring) cool derividation. especially since often we depict cities undergoing destruction as charrin(g).

[@rewschreijewschreier]

Hargenen. like the Harkenin. in Dune :) :P the "evil killiers" the bad guys of the story haha.

[@SilvaGv-bt9nd]

These words reflect the cultural exchanges between Jewish communities and other cultures throughout the history of Yiddish.

[@rewschreijewschreier]

lol., classic. BEESHA!! BEESH!!! into today BEETCH! u can see the next one coming.

[@KostyaT]

I beleive חורבן / חֻרְבָּן doesn't have a komets in it. Do you pronounce it with an "o"? In academic Yiddish it's pronounced with an "u".

[@lisovyj_diadko]

skune? intersting. I heard sakOne.

[@multisingual1241]

The pronunciation of alphabet letters is very different in Hungarian Yiddish 😃

[@lisovyj_diadko]

@@multisingual1241btw, are there Hungarian words in Yiddish?

[@multisingual1241]

@lisovyj_diadko Yes, several actually. I might make a video about it one day. Some commonly used Hungarian words are: פאָקענאַל (fukkenal) a wooden spoon פּאנדזעלוֺ (punjello) a robe קאָנטשוֺ (kuncho) a water pitcher פּאפּאטש (pupuch) slippers בּאָנדאש (bundash) Hungarian style French toast I’m sure there’s plenty more 😄

[@degamergunni6071]

sorry, forgot, emmes, tachlis, jom tow, butsche gaim, jade, etz, betucht, kis,

[@neozyykun]

are you orthodox while being a metal fan? how does that even work together? lol literally doesnt make sense to me

[@multisingual1241]

Yeah I get asked that kind of thing a lot. Basically I listen to the music I like, and then turn it off when shabbat begins. Listen to metal, eat my kosher food, listen to metal and then turn it off to pray. It doesn’t interfere with my religion in any way. Hope this explains this contrast enough. 🙂🤘🏻

[@manymota-md4pb]

HEY HI: how you doing my approach is only to congratulate you and suggest that your class it,s excellent but you going to fast but way to fast ..

[@multisingual1241]

Hi! Thanks so much for the feedback. I will try to slow down next time so it’s easier to keep along 😄
