how much do you know of Yiddish .. or Jiddisch, as we say in German?

[Zebra]

how much?

 

[Zebra]

Yiddish has many German words …

and German in turn has many expressions that originate in Yiddish


or Jiddisch, as we call it

 

[whitehall]

You're a klutz if you don't know the origin of the word "bagel".

Yiddish has many German words …

It's a silly sounding bastardization of a holy language.

Yiddish is like a German slang. Yiddish was spoken in my grandparent's home. I understand more than I remember to speak..

In the movie Blazing Saddles, all the Indians are speaking Yiddish.
