Can you tell whether a sign is in Yiddish or Hebrew at a glance from a far distance?
Thank you 🙂
December 6, 2017 9:49 pm at 9:49 pm #1421615☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNo, I can’t even tell if it’s Chinese or Russian.
December 6, 2017 10:22 pm at 10:22 pm #1421625zaltzvasserParticipantLots of ayins ע = Yiddish
Ends with ם or ת = possibly hebrewDecember 6, 2017 10:30 pm at 10:30 pm #1421627LightbriteParticipantYay, thanks zaltzvasser!! 🙂
I was hoping there’d be a *patent* in figuring it out!

December 6, 2017 11:29 pm at 11:29 pm #1421635Sechel HaYasharParticipantAlephs, Ayins, double Vov, chof is used instead of ches unless the word comes from Hebrew. Once you are accustomed to reading Yiddish, you tell apart Hebrew and Yiddish right away.
December 6, 2017 11:50 pm at 11:50 pm #1421651GadolhadorahParticipantIf you are a genuine Litvisher sign reader, it doesn’t make a difference.
December 6, 2017 11:54 pm at 11:54 pm #1421656☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIf you’re at a distance, how can you tell if there are ayins and mems etc.?
December 7, 2017 12:08 am at 12:08 am #1421664LightbriteParticipantDY, don’t know… but I can tell English from French from Spanish at a distance… even though I can’t really read it… or maybe it’s my mind assuming it’s one language or the other… technically we can read words if the first and last letters are present
December 7, 2017 12:09 am at 12:09 am #1421667LightbriteParticipantGoogle it.. from Fox News (but they just reposted it…)
“”Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae. … You can read the words because the human mind reads words as a whole, and not letter-by-letter.” Mar 31, 2009

December 7, 2017 1:39 am at 1:39 am #1421718LightbriteParticipantSo so, kind of, ish… you know, some this way and some that way…
Atake koreh Ivrit? Ken, chacha-chacha.
December 7, 2017 1:41 am at 1:41 am #1421721LightbriteParticipantLol…. I guess it’s spelled Kacha kacha…
Dunno… to me, I read chacha as kaah-chah… not like Chanukah…
Guess you’re right… I wonder if others read it as I meant it
December 7, 2017 1:41 am at 1:41 am #1421723LightbriteParticipantIs kachah spelled with a kuf?
December 7, 2017 1:42 am at 1:42 am #1421726LightbriteParticipantAt least there’s alliteration!
