words from Jiddi
| Hebrew | /Jiddisch notes | neck |
|---|---|---|
| and leg break הצלחהוברכה | neck | and leg break is German a Verballhornung and originates from the Hebrew hazlacha uwracha (= success and benediction). This congratulations were expressed about Jews at the time of the conclusion of a business in the jiddischen form hazloche and broche and understood about German-language listening as neck and leg break. |
| betucht | בטוח | the word “betucht” comes from the Hebrew expression batuach = reliably. |
| Chuzpe | חוצפּה | insolence. |
| Good slide | ראשהשנהטוב | the word slide in the congratulations good slide is derived from the Hebrew Rosch hectar-Schanah tow . Over the jiddische “property Rosch” (Rosch = head, beginning; thus about: “Property New Year”) came it finally to the German New Year greeting “good slide”. So the gladly spread theory, which is very questionable however: there is not one text voucher in (older like modern) the jiddischen literature for the hybrid form “property Rosch”; Differently if the Christians should have said this to their Jewish fellow men, there would have to be a voucher in German for this unusual special case of the Anpasssung of the majority to the minority, which could not be furnished so far. Making more difficult it is added that also the Hebrew desire is called to (Jewish) the New Year not “Rosch hectar-Schana tow” (good beginning of the yearly), but “Schana towa” (property year). |
| Hechtsuppe | “It pulls like Hechtsuppe” comes from the jiddischen “hech supha” and means “strong wind”.” However in the very questionable Etymologie still more improbably than “good slide”: a) there is not one text voucher in (older like modern) the jiddischen literature (for “Hechtsuppe” just as little as for “hech supha”) b) it cannot such a voucher not give, because “is not possible hech supha” with full final vowel in Jiddi; there - the Germanic development adapted - final syllable weakening prevails after Penultimabetonung. Already the Transkription with /ph/ instead of /f/ entlarft “supha” as word nichtjiddischer provenance. | |
| kapores (go, its) | hebr. kaparoth , jidd. kapores and/or. as idiom strike towards kapores . After a Jewish custom to Jom Kippur, with which chickens are brought to a person as “Sühneopfer” representatively of the sins. Possibly leads itself dt. Word broken of it off. | |

| badly | miuss (= disgust). | |
| Failure vulture | פליט | the Pleitegeher led itself of hebr. Word “pleta” (escape) and the ethnic German word 'gehen'ab; in the westjiddischen form the hebräischstämmige word lautlich systemful changed to “plajte” (Diphthongierung and final syllable weakening) and ethnic German the word “to go” appears in the westjiddischen form as “to gajen”. The being certain jiddische Fraseologie “plajte gajen” meant originally “on the escape goes/fleeing”; that, which went on the escape, was “plajte more gajer” therefore fled. By volksetymologische reinterpretation “Geher” became the carrion bird “vulture” from - in westjiddischen reading - homophonenen. |

| Schnorrer | שנאָרער | Since begging musi edges often pulled to country with noise instruments like the Schnarre by, the name of the instrument was transferred to the musi edges. |
| Tacheles (talk) | the idiom Tacheles talk come from hebr. “taklî” = a “goal, purpose” and is called as much as directly the unverblümte truth says; someone without restraint ungeschminkt the opinion say; Plain language talk; a delicate topic address; openly and clearly talk. | |
