    Ven du host a bisele seykhl
    Un ven du vaytzt dayn kindershn shmeykhl
    Vendu bist vild vi indianer
    Bist afile a galitsianer
    Zog ikh: dos art mikh nit.
    Bay mir bistu sheyn,
    Bay mir hos tu heyn,
    Bay mir bistu eyner oyf der velt.
    Bay mir bistu git,
    Bay mir hostu "it",
    Bay mir bistu tayerer fun gelt.

    Un fun zay ale oys-geklibn hob ikh nor dikh.

    Yiddish words often have very different connotations than the same German word. The German "Mensch" is a human being; the Yiddish "מענטש" (same pronunciation) means much more: a person of integrity, one who has a good moral sense that others might admire, someone who goes out of his way to do the right thing for others, even though he receives nothing in return. It is a high compliment, and says that the person brings honor to the title of "human".

    There’s a nostalgic ring in the song, due definitely to the fact that it’s sung in Yiddish, a beautiful language, which I hope, will live for ever! It is also the language of people, who have suffered so much before and during the Second World War, in Nazi occupied countries and in Germany itself. Many songs in Yiddish are expressions of this sufferance. Long live Yiddish!!!

      lieber Ulrich Toelle, das ist die eine Ansichtsweise, die in der Aufrechterhaltung von Traditionen und überlieferten Werten einen Brunnquell des Lebens sieht. Die andere Perspektive ist die traurigere und das stimmt auch mich traurig. Man wird es selbst uns "Nachkriegsgeborenen" NIEMALS verzeihen, dass "wir" diese blühende und reiche Kultur sehenden Auges "ausgelöscht" haben. Da hilft auch keine "Gnade der späten Geburt" - "Mitgefangen - Mitgehangen" Ich hoffte immer, dass ich es noch erleben würde, mich im Ausland voller Stolz als "Deutscher" zu outen. Je nach meinem Gegenüber habe ich nämlich meine wahre Herkunft meistens verschwiegen - Dann war ich Luxemburger, Liechtensteiner oder Schweizer .... aber "Um Gottes Willen" bloß kein Deutscher!
      Doch nachdem, was sich auf politischer Ebene in Deutschland mittlerweile wieder regt, glaube ich immer weniger, dass sich meine Hoffnung erfüllen wird.

      Yiddish is a German dialect with some special properties. It was in use by the jewish diaspora throughout Europe, from Spain to Russia before WWII. It also collected lean words that don’t exist in other German dialects, from Russian and Hebrew for example.
      It’s definitively not the High German you learn at school, but it’s intelligible. I, as a native High German speaker, never having learned it, find it easier to understand than, for example Bavarian, to which everyone agrees is German.
      It’s grammar is also quite German.

      Sprachforscher und Jiddischlehrer kann ich Ihnen genau sagen, welche
      jiddische Wörter die Deutschen verstehen können, und ich versichere
      Ihnen, dass Sie viel weniger verstehen als Sie meinen. Jiddisch hat
      seine eigene hochentwickelte Phraseologie, die mit deutschen Ausdrücken
      nichts zu tun hat. Die Grammatik, der Satzbau, der Wortschatz, und
      sogar die Aussprache des Ostjiddischen sind gründlich beeinflusst und
      bereichert worden von den slawischen Nachbarsprachen und auch von dem
      hebräisch-aramäischen sprachlichen Erbgut. Jiddisch ist eine
      selbständige, eigenartige linguistische Erscheinung und ist älter als
      die hochdeutsche Schriftsprache. Die jiddische Sprache verkörpert die
      jüdische Kultur der osteuropäischen Juden. Es ist schade, dass die
      Deutschen es nicht begriffen haben vor dem Holocaust ... --- Nowadays

    • @mannahusum
      @mannahusum Před 8 lety +10

      I am not taking away any value of the language. I am just stating what, for example, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish is stating too.
      The general rule for being a dialect is mutual intelligibility. This doesn’t mean every word is understood for every one speaking one language or the other, but if two people should meet, one with the first language as his/her mother tongue and one with the other language as his/her mother tongue, those two languages are dialects.
      Some languages are regarded as different languages despite of that for a strange burocratic reason: If these two languages each have a committee defining a distinguished written form, then these languages are regarded as different languages and not dialects.
      I am quite sure that I wont be able to understand a religious discussion in Yiddish. - As far as I know most words regarding religion derived frem Hebrew, and I don’t speak Hebrew. - And I never met anybody speaking Yiddish and not standardized German. The experiences I have with Yiddish are limited to TV interviews, song texts and small excerpts of texts. And I was able to understand them as someone with a German mothertongue. And even if I would be able to understand most of it, I am a bad example. There are 5 native languages in the area of Germany where I grew up. Most people of that area are able to read and understand Danish, Dutch and Flamish to the extent to find their way around. But in my experience people from the south of Germany aren't. So I rely on other sources to make this assumption.
      And I don’t know much about Yiddish culture in general, and for sure the language is a distinct part of the culture with even it’s own dialects. But let me put this in another context. I am quite sure all through you will find people in India whose mother tongue is not the native dialect of that region, but English. Does this mean, that they are more English than Indian, even if all other aspects of their life and culture are Indian? And does it denigrate Indian culture, because they speak English?
      You may have a different opinion here, but what German as a language makes it stand out to me is its multicultural nature. 2000 years ago you had the people in Cologne living like Romans and speaking an ancient dialect German, and people living at the Baltic sea, living like Vikings and speaking as similar dialect. The culture was VERY different, and yet they could talk to each other. These different cultures speaking the same language was, in my opinion, a sign of strenght when it came to creativity. But it was a weakness that Germany had to suffer from during the 30 year war. All the many small German states had to suffer from this. This lead to a perceived weakness. It culminated in the Weimarer Republic and it’s downfall. And I think it is even more terrible what this has has meant for Alsace and the Jewish minority in whole Europe. Only slowly the idea that this pluralism is a strong point and not a weakness is returning. I would hope for it to return sooner.

    mädele, mädele, mädele, mädele
    Un ven di ....
    schänstele, schänstele, schänstele, schänstele
    Un ven du bist vild vi a indianer
    Bist afile a galitsianer
    Zog ikh: du sollst mich nit.
    Bay mir bistu sheyn,
    Bay mir hos tu heyn,
    Bay mir bistu der schönste oyf der velt.
    Bay mir bistu git,
    Bay mir hostu "it",
    Bay mir bistu tayerer fun gelt.
    Fil sheyne ... hobn schon gevolt nemen mikh,
    Un fun zay ale oys - geklibn hob ikh nor dikh.
    And when the ... smile
    girl, girl, girl, girl
    And when the ...
    prettiest, prettiest, prettiest, prettiest
    When you are wild as an Indian
    Even if you were a Galitzyaner,
    I say: It doesn't bother me.
    To me, you are lovely,
    To me, you are charming.
    To me, you are the prettiest in the world.
    To me, you are lovely,
    To me, you've got it,
    To me, you are more precious than money.
    Many pretty ... wanted me for a spouse
    and among them all I chose only you
    I know - it's far from perfect, but perhaps somebody can help to make it better

      @Khaver 25 es gibt "das" (Artikel/Begleitwort) und dann "dass"; früher "daß" (Konjunktion / Bindewort). Hier wäre _das_ mit einem "s" richtig, weil man es durch "dieses, jenes, (oder) welches" ersetzen kann. Dschavidan Mamedov ist vielleicht kleinlich, hat aber Recht.

    • @DieWacht
      @DieWacht Před 6 lety +12

      I thought, that Koter means a male cat (deutsch Kater).
      Und wenn du Äuglein hast, so gut wie ein Kater. (When you have eyes as good as a cat).
      Koter (little kid) makes also sense, because children often have big beautiful eyes.
      Is it possible, that Koter comes from the word Kleuter? It is also a word for little children right?
      My grandmother sometimes used the verb "kleutern" when we ran around and played wild in the house and ran from one room to another.
      I love it, how so many words come from different languages.
