Yiddish

The Yiddish word for little girl is "meidele" (מיידעלע).

In the days before Internet, and when international phone calls were rare and expensive, children who grew-up and left the house to live in a far away place were referred to as 'paper children', because the only way to communicate with them was through the letters they sent you. Perhaps there was also a hint of dissatisfaction with the fact that they didn't make the effort to travel and see their parents from time to time....

A nebbish is a Yiddish word used to describe a meek, timid, or ineffectual person, often lacking in confidence and assertiveness. It is typically used to describe someone who is unassuming and easily taken advantage of in social situations.

Some common names for God in Yiddish include "Got" or "Gott" (similar to German), "Ribono shel Olam" (Master of the World), and "Vayter" (Farther).

The Yiddish word for small prizes is "tchotchke" or "tchatchke."

Lang lebn zolt ir!

If the question refers to the widespread superstitious response to a sneeze,

the most common in Yiddish is some form of

"geh-ZOONT", "tzoom geh-ZOONT", or "geh-ZOONT-hite".

All have their origin in the German "gesundheit", meaning "health".

In our family, there was a complex, colorful ritual.

Those within earshot of the sneeze would acknowledge it with:

First sneeze: "geh-ZOONT" ("health")

Second sneeze: "tsum LAY-bn" ("to life")

Third sneeze: "tsu ZINE ah GOOT-air YING-gl" ("to be a good boy"),

while at the same time, the sneezor had the responsibility of tugging discreetly

at his earlobe after each sneeze ... a less widely practiced superstition tracing

back to the Russian side of the family. (This refinement is usually discarded

soon after age 5, although this contributor has worked more than ten times

that duration, so far without success. )

The Yiddish word for "stay straight" or "stand straight" is "steyben" (שטייבן).

One possibility is "TIPP-esh", from the Hebrew for "fool" or "simpleton".

Yiddish, a fusion of Hebrew and German, is considered endangered for several reasons. The Holocaust decimated the Yiddish-speaking population, leading to a decline in native speakers. Additionally, Yiddish-speaking communities assimilated into the dominant language of their new countries, resulting in reduced transmission to younger generations. Finally, globalization and technological advancements have increased the dominance of English in many parts of the world, displacing minority languages like Yiddish.

There is no such people as "Yiddish people", and no such country.

Yiddish is a language ... the "patois" of languages of every eastern European country

with any significant Jewish population during the past 600 years, plus Hebrew, plus

Aramaic, and most recently, plus English.

Dormant for a while after the great Jewish migrations of the early 20th Century

and the mass exterminations of the 1930s and 40s, it's experiencing a resurgence

today, since the "Final Solution" itself proved to be the main problem, and failed.

"SHVES-tair" ... straight from German.

The Yiddish word "piska" does not have a widely recognized meaning. It is possible that it may be a variation or misspelling of another Yiddish word, or a slang term specific to a particular region or community. It is always best to consult native Yiddish speakers or Yiddish dictionaries for accurate definitions of specific words.

"Bubbe" is a Yiddish term that is used to refer to a grandmother in Jewish culture. Yiddish is a Germanic language that originated in Central and Eastern Europe and is spoken by Ashkenazi Jews.

Betje is not Yiddish. It is a Dutch name, pronounced "betcha"

The same way as in Hebrew.

The Yiddish slang term for "uncle" is "tante" (pronounced "tanta"). However, it is important to note that this is a slang term and not the formal Yiddish word for uncle, which is "onkel."

The most likely expression is difficult to write phonetically so you'll understand it,

and virtually impossible for an English speaker to reproduce.

A Yiddish speaker would most likely refer generically to a smart man as a

"KHAW-khawm".

The word is Hebrew, and stands for both the adjective "wise" and the noun "wise man".
