As a German, you hardly have to look at the subtitles at all to understand it 👌😅

[@serapekkala8238]

The translation of “whatever” as “vosever” killed me 🤣 thanks for this! ❤️

[@LydlChris]

That was the best part XDD

omfg the way the baguette in the original becomes a challah... i die.

All four of them have legit acting chops and comedic timing! And they’re all gorgeous! I love seeing my fellow ashkie sisters onscreen🥹

[@gruenetomate]

Wow I'm shocked how much I understand as a German:)

[@sandraobrien8705]

Me too. I speak German and I understood a lot too.

every time i watch this i cant help but turn tf up to the intro music its so good

[@jsw7814]

This is so similar yet so different than the standard Yiddish of Brooklyn Chassidim (both of the Chabad and Satmar varieties on either end). For instance: “nisht in kaas” would be “nisht oifgeregt” or “nisht bayz” I’ve never heard anyone use the word “kur**a” (a Slavic derivative obv),but this could be because of my sheltered background (yet the word zoinah and perutzah are sometimes used). Also, “Ayl dich “ for hurry up rather than whatever they were saying and I couldn’t catch.

[@jacob_and_william]

Do you know what dialect of Yiddish is in the video?

[@jsw7814]

@@jacob_and_william sounds litvak but a bit artificial.

[@dylansedershoffman6375]

@@jacob_and_william Great question! It's YIVO or standardized academic Yiddish (klal shprakh). So yes, a bit of an artificial dialect that is closest to a Litvish dialect (because that's where the language was standardized at the YIVO in Vilna). It's the standard Yiddish that's taught in university settings today. It's also the dialect of Yiddish that was used for the recent Off-Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish in NYC.

All I hear are Swedish words... I didn't realize the languages overlapped so much. Pity the video was just a line for line reenactment. I was hoping for a twist. Good acting, though.

No idea why I got this in my recommendations, but I thought it was funny. Yiddish sounds so weird to me, it feels almost German but not quite.

So does the Polish word 'kurwa' come from Yiddish, or vice-versa?!

I’m pretty sure it came to Yiddish from Polish (or another Slavic language), not the other way around :)
