@moi aussi –
“In German we ask “verstehst du?”, so the Yiddish version “farshteist?” (with s) is not strange at all.
(My mother tongue is Yiddish, and I’m fluent in German too)”
Sorry, it was 1 AM or so and I was half asleep. Don’t know how I could be so stupid. Of course farshteist is from verstehst…. 🙂 (And I only slept 4-5 hours, so expect more similar goofs from me today. And anyone who cannot handle people with a bad temper, stay awaaaaay from me today.)
