    MW I know yiddish very well. I can tell you with authority that skipping out the yeshivishe shprach will not change the meaning one bit (however, it does help with the emphasis!)

    Thanks 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.

    Blinky –

    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?

    Brisker – I figured you’re not from any of the above. Although your yiddish is very good (very, very good), its still yeshivish yiddish.

    I 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.

    BP 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:)

    “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….?
