Yiddish

The Yiddish word for cheap is "גינסיק" (ginsik).

miracle = Nes (נס)

a Blondeh Mensch mit bloi Oigen (א בלאָנדע מענטש מיט בלוי אויגן)

It means healthy, just like the German word "gesund"

Mazel = luck

Tov = good

=============================

"mah-ZAHL TOV" is a Hebrew phrase, used in the language of any Jewish

community, to convey the same meaning where, in English, one would say

"Good Luck" or "Congratulations".

"TOV" in Hebrew means "Good", so with the phrase "mazal tov", one is wishing

upon the recipient "good mazal", in the sense of good luck or good fortune. But

"mazal" is an interesting way to say it.

In the King James translation of Psalms, there is a reference to the Creator as the one

" ... who bringest forth the Mazzeroth ... ". That strange word is one of the many cases

where King James' committee of scholars decided to keep the Hebrew word

instead of trying to translate it (just as they did with the Hebrew words Adam,

Abraham, Sarah, Rebecca, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Israel, Daniel,

Satan, David, Michael, Elijah, Joel, Gabriel, . . . but that's another story).

"Mazzeroth" is equivalent to the Hebrew word "mazallot", plural for

"constellations" of the stars. The Creator ".. bringest forth the Mazzeroth .."

when he causes the sky to rotate so that the constellations appear in tjheior

correct places and times.

And when you wish someone "good mazal", you literally wish him "good constellations",

or good astrology, good horoscope, etc. No different at all from good luck.

Astrology was never part of Judaism, and was actively frowned upon, since it

purports to substitute other forces for Gcd's will. But you can't keep the simple

folks down, popular superstitions die hard, and the Jewish wish for a "good

horoscope" lives on even in our times. Mazal tov !

"Life Lion"

(And I'm sure he spells it 'Chaim Leib', not 'Chiam Lieb'.)

A matchmaker is a =shadkhan=(M) or a =shadkhante= (F).

He/she makes a =shidekh= (match).

The "work" is called =shadkhones= (matchmaking)

I think you mean "Shayna", which means beautiful, or pretty

הער, her (like the German herr).

"SHADE" or "SHED"

Musical instrument(s). The word has its origin in the Hebrew "klei zemer," instruments of melody.

בושה, bushe (boosh-eh) or שאַנדע, shande (shand-eh).

באבקעס - bubkes

In Yiddish, the word "vagina" is typically pronounced as "vah-GEE-nuh."

Yiddish is believed to have originated in Central Europe around the 9th century, blending elements of Hebrew, Aramaic, and the local languages of Jewish communities. It developed as a language for communication among Jews living in Eastern Europe and became the primary language for Ashkenazi Jews.

Usually "MAHL-keh", from the Hebrew "mahl-KAH".

No. Pidgin is an artificial, nonliterary work-place jargon using a limited and modified vocabulary from one language according to the phonological and grammatical structure of another ( the word pidgin is trying to be the English word "business"). Yiddish is a mother tongue, a literary dialect of German ( or possibly a distinct germanic language in its own right ), which uses many words and phrases from Hebrew, Russian and Polish.

To say the word my pleasure in Yiddish, simply say meyn hnah. To write my pleasure in Yiddish, write,מיין הנאה .

In Yiddish, the word "eight" is spelled as "אַכט" (pronounced as "akh't").

Mil ka-dek , Mil k-ich'k, Flay sha-dek, Flay sh-ick

(a mild guess)

Mazel tov

UNFORTUNATLEY, I have not been able to find how to say Theresa in Yiddish, but you might b able to say the word in a Yiddish accent.

schnoz

The only word that I can think of is Kabuff, which means shack, hovel or shanty.
