Today’s Yiddish Fun Fact: עלטרען / eltren means “parents,” but another common term is טאטע-מאמע / tata-mama (lit. “dad-mom”). The same is true of באָבע-זיידע / bubbe-zayde (grandma-grandpa) for “grandparents.” There is presumably some linguistic reason for the alphabetical and gender orders both being reversed in these two examples, but I have no idea what it could be.

jumblr, what are some Yiddish words of endearment or like cute phrases people call their kids.

I know joya means jewel in Spanish/Italian and I was wondering if there are other similar sorts of endearments in Yiddish or ladino or any Hebrew language!

don’t mind me I just genuinely have 0 idea and am trying to write a Jewish character. And the internet is not helpful at all

Hey ישראבלר and jumblr! Do any of you speak Yiddish? I'm considering learning it, but I feel like I need a good reason to. It'd be really cool if one of y'all out there knows Yiddish and wants to learn Hebrew, so we could teach each other!

(If you just wanna learn Hebrew and don't know any Yiddish I'd still be glad to be your conversation partner, I'm Israeli and Hebrew is my first language.)

Either way, Shabbat shalom everyone 💙🤍

"אח שלי: זאת השפה ש(קרובת משפחה) שלנו מדברת."

אני: "היא מדברת יידיש מטומטם."

אח שלי: "אה."

Today’s Yiddish fun fact: the word for walrus is ים פערד / yam ferd - literally sea-horse.

And seahorse, you may very well ask? Why, it’s ים פערדל / yam ferdl - little sea-horse.

(Funnily enough, the English word “walrus” comes from Dutch and/or Old English words for “whale” and “horse,” so I guess a lot of people agree that these guys are horses, huh?)

שלום עליכם

Welcome to yiddish-shmues, a sideblog of @salvadorbonaparte

My name is Mack, I'm a PhD student in German Studies, and I'm learning Yiddish. This blog is designed to share language learning resources, vocabulary and grammar notes and anything connected to Yiddish culture and history.

I will occasionally share posts about other Jewish languages like Hebrew, Ladino, Haketia, Kivruli, Judeo Arabic etc.

I'm a Yiddish learner and using a virtual keyboard so please inform me of any mistakes, including spelling. I'm also a conversion student*, so my language learning journey often connects to my jewish journey.

Would taking a highschool German class help me learn Yiddish? I don't currently have an option for any sort of actual Yiddish class, and it seems kind of intimidating to me, but I really want to learn and the one person who could have taught me is dead
