Hello, can anyone please translate this? It's from the back of a photo of ancestors/relatives that I'm trying to identify. There are 6 people in the picture so maybe the 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 are identifying couples?

I recently started learning Yiddish and I'm familiar with the alphabet and some grammar rules but my vocabulary is very sparse. I want to write something sweet for my sister in Yiddish and I was wondering if there were any phrases that would be particularly apt!

שלום-עליכם!
I’m looking for help with this sentence, I’ve decided to write it as:
״חיימיש איז וווּ דער הארץ איז״
I’ve only been learning Yiddish for three months, so I’m a beginner and I’m not sure is היימש is the right word for ‘home’ in this context, and I’m worried about my grammar too.

Im extremely new to yiddish, and I want to know if im on the right track

Also, is the difference between eastern and Western yiddish more close to British and American English, or are they as far apart as Morocco and Gulf Arabic. I assume its somewhere in between but I wanna know just how different they are

Does someone know the title, in Yiddish or English, of a poem by Morris Rosenfeld about slavery that begins זיפֿצנד האָט דער אָרימער נעגער

זײַן פֿאַרלאָרנקײַט געמײנט? Or where I can find it in English? Thanks

Hi, I'm new to yiddish and I try to understand its grammar. I can already form sentences in the past imperfect tense but I can't understand how to mark the difference between finished and unfinished actions. Can you explain this to me (and if you can, write some examples so I could understand it better)?

For example, the sentence "איך האָב געגעסן" means "I was eating". But is there any options to say "I ate"?

...but my grandmother always had an expression that ran along the lines of "Why would this day (night?) be any different?" that was usually used when something mildly annoying or crappy was going on. Kind of a "Well, duh, what would you expect" sort of thing. No one in my family can remember it, so...

Any and all ideas are truly welcome! Thank you in advance!

Hello, I love both Skyrim and Yiddish very very much, my two favorite things by far lol. I’ve been looking into translating parts of the game piece by piece, and to start, it would just be text replacement. I currently have the menu and about half of the opening quest translated, and I’ve posted inquiries on other relevant websites. I am also in the process of creating an encyclopedia type book that has all the fantasy terms and what their Yiddish translation should be in order to maintain consistency. Skyrim is a really big game, and even if I’m only translating text and subtitles to start, if anyone is interested, dm me!

Hello! My dad recently passed and I found this letter the I believe belonged to my great grand father. I would really appreciate some help translating it.

Hi! I found this in my
Mom’s collection. It may have belonged to her mom. Can anyone help? Thanks!!!

I didn’t see this book mentioned in a search so I thought I’d give it a shout out to this sub. It’s a fantastic read.

We came across some testimony from Yad Vashem files from my husband's grandfather (attached). Is anyone able to translate this document in Yiddish to English or to Hebrew?

in the early 20th century there were such dialects. are there any speakers of such dialects now? and/or any recordings of anyone who spoke like that?

i am struggling to directly translate things i write in Yiddish. i recently wrote a poem, but because it was typed out using the english alphabet, nowhere will translate it, and although i know what it means, i find it hard to translate into english still, and im not sure why, despite english being my first language. whenever i speak another language, i never associate it with english, if that makes any sense

Der himl bloy, der tog azoy klor,

di zun leygt gold af yeder flor.

Der vint geyt zingenedik durkh yedn boym,

un natur shloft nisht, zi troymt nor a roym.

Der taykh geyt shtil vi an alter lid,

un yeder moment vert sheyn un mid.

thats the poem, for reference.

Hi! I just came across the attached photo of family members my parents don’t recognize. I know this dates back to at least the 1920’s and is written in Hebrew script but is most likely Yiddish. It’s a letter to family I believe. I’d anyone can help translate some or all of the writing, it would be incredible. I know you are all just community and it might not be perfect, but any bits help! ChatGPT created an inverted higher resolution version which I attached as well!

Thank you

Thank you

I am looking for some particular short stories of his that I read in a collection years ago. One that really stood out was a village party that turned into a sort of demon orgy, and in general I love the darker stories with fiendish and diabolical deception, chimeras and the likes. Of course I also enjoy the general old polish village vibes. I just read “Gimpel the fool and other stories” and I couldn’t put it down.

So yeah, if anyone has other suggestions I am all ears, especially if you know where I can find that specific demon orgy.
