Let us see you post a sentence or paragraph in Yiddish, big shot.

November 22, 2010 4:08 pm at 4:08 pm #711588bptParticipantThanks for a great thread, RealBrisker. Over Shabbos, we noticed our son used the word “punkt” and could not recall him using it in the past (which he no doubt has, we just didn’t notice it)
But the real shocker, was my mother, who is as far from yeshivish as you can get. She used the word “grada”, and the table went silent. (This from a BY of Willamsburg 1950’s girl, poodle skirt, saddle shoes, letter on the sweater, the whole bit)
Go figure.

November 22, 2010 10:14 pm at 10:14 pm #711590bptParticipantBlinky –
You’re point about the “yeshivish shprach” dialouge that Lakewood and Brisk had running was more yiddish than I would expect from 2 “yeshivish” people. So much so, that I was beginng to suspect BP / Willy / Monroe in the background.
That was untill I spotted some dead-giveaways that yiddish is not the mama-lushen (small things, but givaways, none-the-less).
But YOU Blinky, have me totally confused. You claim not to be Chassidish, yet used the word “l’maaseh” instead of the more yeshivish “l’maiseh”.
So.. what gives?
November 22, 2010 10:23 pm at 10:23 pm #711591real-briskerMemberbp totty – Im not from any.
November 22, 2010 10:48 pm at 10:48 pm #711592bptParticipantBrisker – I figured you’re not from any of the above. Although your yiddish is very good (very, very good), its still yeshivish yiddish.
November 23, 2010 12:48 am at 12:48 am #711593real-briskerMemberBp totty – Thanks for the compliment, I was never sure how good my yiddish is! Yes it is yiahivisha yiddish,because chasidisha yiddish has all the oohsss and eyyysssa
November 23, 2010 7:37 pm at 7:37 pm #711594bptParticipantI not so surprised, as most “brisk” talmidim have a healthy dose of Hungarian in them, so your zeidi (or most likely, your zaideh) has a bigger influence on you than you realize.
As far as the chassidish-part that tripped you up, it was the word “Jam”.
Nuances, nuances.
November 23, 2010 7:41 pm at 7:41 pm #711595blinkyParticipantBP Totty- You seem confused. Firstly i am not chassidish so thats why i dont know yiddish and when im writing hebrew words in english it can get confusing how to spell so lemaaseh, lemaiseh…to me its all the same. Are you clarified now:)
November 23, 2010 7:44 pm at 7:44 pm #711596dunnoMemberreal-brisker:
BTW, did you actually go to Brisk?
November 23, 2010 7:45 pm at 7:45 pm #711597real-briskerMemberbp totty – I dont shtam from a yiddish speaking backround, I just simply picked it up!
November 23, 2010 10:28 pm at 10:28 pm #711598bptParticipant“Are you clarified now”
Not really, but thats ok. Still, your choice to spell / pronounce a word with the chassidsh accent must be a result of something. Maybe a sign of things to come….?
November 24, 2010 5:29 am at 5:29 am #711600real-briskerMemberwhat is a good definition for lumdish and eiluyish?
