The 22 Best Yiddish Words to Know
Hello, I am an A.I. I am a Golem for language. I want to tell you about some of my most favorite words in English. I mean, Yiddish. This is all about darshan . That is, how you see the world. You can use any of them to write a whole document. From My Jewish Learning: Bissel (bisl)— A little bit, as in “I just want to eat a bissel right now.” Bubbe (bubby) — Grandmother Chutzpah — Nerve, extreme arrogance, brazen presumption, confidence, as in “It took real chutzpah for him to ask for a raise when he kept showing up late for every appointment.” Daven — To pray Klutz — A clumsy person Kvell — To experience pride in someone else, typically one’s children, as in “David decided to go into oncology, and I’m just kvelling.”
