Mastering Yiddish Verb Conjugation: A Step-By-Step Guide

[@MegaBlastwave]

Yes, an interesting dialect - the letter vov is pronounced as "ee". I've always heard and said "oo" there. As well as 'zey geyn" rather than "zay gayn". The pronoun "etz" is also new to me. And my grandparents said "nit" instead of "nisht", but in the Internet "nisht" seems to be much more common.

this is so helpful!!

I’m glad it helped ☺️

I'm having some doubts when it comes to pronunce Vav. I've notice some speakers pronunce it as an "oo", while some, like you and the Barry Sisters, pronunce it as "ee". Is it a dialectal variation thing?

[@multisingual1241]

It is dependent on the dialect. Williamsburg/Kiryas Yoel Yiddish pronounces it like me. Hope this helps 😃

And the yivo/lithuanian speakers pronounce it oo. They're more the academic speakers and secular ones. This video is the common chassidish/Hungarian way spoken on the streets. Lithuanian is most commonly spoken in Lithuanian yeshivas.

Where are you from / what dialect do you speak? I've started learning more (about?) Yiddish just recently and the differences between dialects are still kind of confusing to me Thanks for the video!

[@multisingual1241]

So happy to hear you’re exploring Yiddish! I speak a Hasidic dialect/ Hungarian dialect often spoken in New York (Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Kiryas Yoel, Rockland County) Hope this helps!
