Ah gut’n kvitel to Klal Yisroel!
A Good Kvitel to all
You got to play your cards right.
Let the dead language rest in pieces (the various and sundry dialects). ???? ???
may this year be the BEST year ever for everyone
Avi, why would you think that a language being used by a population of probably well over 100,000 people (and ka”h rapidly growing) is dead?
Avi K,
Yiddish is far from dead, and certainly the brochos offered in yiddish are not dead.
Ah gutten kvittel is not the same as “Choref Tov” it is a totally different bracha. People also wish a Piska Tava.
The yiddish expression which you confused is “ah gezunte vinter”.
Avi K: that would translate to “a gut vinter”.
Yiddish is spoken by Charadim which is the fastest growing segment in the Jewish population so I tend to doubt it going to die anytime soon. It’s only dead in the Choloni community where only the old Russian immigrant who are dying out and some hard core socialist are the only ones speaking it.
