today’s yiddish word of the day is

peysekh - פסח

pronounced “PAY-sikh”

meaning pesach aka passover

because this is a hebrew word, we spell it the same way as in hebrew

example sentences:

- this katz is celebrating peysekh

- on peysekh we eat karpas which is often grin

- peysekh happens in friling

- this matzah is tsebrokhn

wishing you a freylekhn peysekh!

(freylekh means joyful - bonus word!)

—

patch notes:

all future ywotd of the day posts will use yivo orthography. as such, tzebrochen has been changed to tsebrokhn

today’s yiddish word of the day is

blum - בלום

meaning flower

the plural is blumen

examples:

- in friling there are lots of blumen

- this katz has blumen on its head

- this blum is grin

ok now go outside and smell the blumen!

ywotd posts are now tagged (on both starlight blogs) with all the yiddish words they contain, so you can click on a tag to find all the ywotd posts containing that word
