There are a few Yiddish speaking members here.

One of the global mods speaks Yiddish.

Well, I also thinks that the Yiddish accent speaking Hebrew sounds horrible.  Sad to say I'm not fluent in either language but only speak a basic Hebrew.  I don't speak any Yiddish but my father and mother are fluent in Yiddish though.

So were mine, they used it as their secret language, but now I know it quite well.

I'm not familiar with the term but I know that tink means plaster in Yiddish so maybe it is a slang term for dolls.

What do you think?

How did he use it?

What type of people did he call tinkerlach?

I searched on www.pass.to/glossary and couldn't find Tinkerlach.

Mord, maybe you can ask people who knew your grandfather or people who heard him say it. I can ask around and see what I get.

yiddish sounds very annoying and irritating for me.

If you like Arabic better, I can speak some for you.

eesh anta bidda tihki?


Where did you learn Arabic like that ?

About that word tinkerlach.

The only thing i can come up with is, that tinker could mean tunker, like in Dutch donker.
which means dark.

lach in fact means smile.

darksmile??
Turkey must get out of NATO. NATO must get out of Kosovo-Serbia. Croats must get out of Crajina. All muslims must get out of Christian and Jewish land. Turks must get out of Cyprus. Turks must get out of "Istanbul". "Palestinians" must get out of Israel. Israel must become independent from USA.

Who says it's the result of "opression"?  It's a beautiful language.

Yiddish was a secret German dialect among Jews..  they had no other reason to use a secret language other than oppression. As far as it being a beautiful langauge, to each is own I guess. I personally think it's annoying, but I like Hebrew a lot..

It's not much of a secret language.

Germans understand it very well.
