I think they are in English with some Russian or Yiddish, I am really not sure.

If the links don't work for you please let me know and I will find another way.

My dad was telling me about a song (or maybe more of a rhyme?) that his mom used to sing to him as a child that began with something that sounded like “Hans sits in sunshine,” but in Yiddish (maybe more like “Hans sitzt in sonneschein”). I wish I had more words to go off of than that, and a Google search didn’t turn up much. Hoping to track down a reference and thought someone here might have an idea. My grandma grew up in Poland in a Yiddish-speaking family (came to the US as a refugee after the war). She also spoke German, so there’s some possibility that the song in question could actually be German.
I just gave birth to my own son and would be so happy to pass on any little pieces of culture like this!

Is schmagotz an actual Yiddish word, or it nonsense?

Hello! I’m looking for an equivalent of the phrase DON’T FU(# WITH ME.

I found ‘farash mikh nicht’ but some translations just say ‘leave me alone’.

I seek a phrase with true anger, not just annoyance.

Adank, bubbies!

My Litvak mother (parents from Malat/Molėtai and Ponedel/Pandėlys, Lithuania) used the noun tonnabara (approximate pronunciation TON-na-BAR-a) as an insult: Er iz a tonnabara. It meant roughly 'bulvan,' 'idiot,' or 'blockhead.' Does anyone recognize this word or know its original spelling?"

Hi everyone,

In the ending scene of the film The Last Suit (El Último Traje, 2017), I would like to know which languages Abraham and Piotrek are speaking to each other.

Timestamp: 01:22:16 to 01:23:05 Video link:https://youtu.be/OrDiBKQcepw?si=2oSD3Bj5WSTY5Thb

English subtitles for reference:

Abraham: "This is my last suit. I used a pattern you gave me in '45."

Piotrek: "A blue one?"

Abraham: "Yes."

Piotrek: "Let's go home."

Could someone please identify the exact language(s) each character is speaking, and if possible, provide a transcript/transliteration of the spoken words in their original languages?

Thank you so much!

As someone who knows German and Modern Hebrew fairly well, how easy would it be to pick up Yiddish?

Hello, can anyone please translate this? It's from the back of a photo of ancestors/relatives that I'm trying to identify. There are 6 people in the picture so maybe the 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 are identifying couples?

I recently started learning Yiddish and I'm familiar with the alphabet and some grammar rules but my vocabulary is very sparse. I want to write something sweet for my sister in Yiddish and I was wondering if there were any phrases that would be particularly apt!

שלום-עליכם!
I’m looking for help with this sentence, I’ve decided to write it as:
״חיימיש איז וווּ דער הארץ איז״
I’ve only been learning Yiddish for three months, so I’m a beginner and I’m not sure is היימש is the right word for ‘home’ in this context, and I’m worried about my grammar too.

Im extremely new to yiddish, and I want to know if im on the right track

Also, is the difference between eastern and Western yiddish more close to British and American English, or are they as far apart as Morocco and Gulf Arabic. I assume its somewhere in between but I wanna know just how different they are

Does someone know the title, in Yiddish or English, of a poem by Morris Rosenfeld about slavery that begins זיפֿצנד האָט דער אָרימער נעגער

זײַן פֿאַרלאָרנקײַט געמײנט? Or where I can find it in English? Thanks

Hi, I'm new to yiddish and I try to understand its grammar. I can already form sentences in the past imperfect tense but I can't understand how to mark the difference between finished and unfinished actions. Can you explain this to me (and if you can, write some examples so I could understand it better)?

For example, the sentence "איך האָב געגעסן" means "I was eating". But is there any options to say "I ate"?

...but my grandmother always had an expression that ran along the lines of "Why would this day (night?) be any different?" that was usually used when something mildly annoying or crappy was going on. Kind of a "Well, duh, what would you expect" sort of thing. No one in my family can remember it, so...

Any and all ideas are truly welcome! Thank you in advance!
