But I was wrong. To me however the word jiddish did not imply any kind of differentiation but simply the adjective to a noun. E.g. german <=> german music but jewish <=> jiddish music just like africans music (instead of south-african music) So I guess you gave the word "jiddish" a fundamental second meaning whereas I took it only to be the adjective of the word Jew!(in a european environment)<span id='postcolor'> Just some minor clarifications: Yiddish is indeed a European Jewish language. It can be written in the Latin or in Hebrew alphabetic characters but it's usually in the latter. The word Yiddish comes from the Hebrew word Yehudi - someone from the tribe of Yehuda (Judah, son of Jacob). Since most Jews for the last 2500+ years are descendants of the tribe of Yehuda, the term Yehudi in Hebrew has referred to Jews in general since 2500+ years ago. As such, the term Yiddish has been applied by both Jews and gentiles as referring to Jews and to things Jewish. Jews may say of someone that he/she has a "Yiddishe neshama" - meaning a "Jewish soul" (neshama=soul in Hebrew). "Do bist a Yid?" in Yiddish means "are you Jew?". Yiddish music means music in yiddish. Yiddisheh music could mean Jewish music, even if it's not in Yiddish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn turned and twisted it but no, not german? Maybe the origin is from a slawic language, who knows?<span id='postcolor'> No, biblical Hebrew. It most likely crept in from Yiddish. Similarly, I once was talking to a German tourist couple here (with zero knowledge of Hebrew) and I was at a loss for words in English for something similar to Nike's "Just do it" slogan. So I used the Hebrew/Yiddish word "tachlis" and was surprised at how they knew the word and understood exactly what I meant. (Do you? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhoCares 0 Posted August 27, 2002 Yepp, I know, while I found it in a slightly different form: takli^t (move the 'roof' above the i ) and of course in hebrew letters it would look completely different btw: The word 'Massel' is used colloquial for luck, in the part of Germany, where I am originally from (Saarland -> Mosel-fraenkisch), but very seldom and mostly by older people.
