(Nicholas Eshelman) Reply to Sherri's question about "ineveynik" (Harry Katz) New members (Ruvn-Mendl Turk, Victor Bers) Reklamen fun WEVD (Ruvn-Mendl Turk) A mayse far kinder oif yidishe oysyes (Refoyl Finkl) ------------------------ Digest-Message: 44/1 Date: Fri, 28 Jun 1991 10:30:08 -0400 From: Nicholas Eshelman Does anyone out there know if there is any work being done on updating or expanding Weinreich's Modern English-Yiddish Dictionary? Every time I use it the thought occurs to me that it would really be wonderful if someone were to undertake such a project. ------------------------ Digest-Message: 44/2 From: harry@nonvax.alf.dec.com (Harry Katz) Subject: "ineveynik" Date: Fri, 28 Jun 1991 14:59:21 -0400 The Yiddish word "ineveynik" does indeed mean "inside" but only in the adverbial form. One may say, "My parents are inside the house/Mein elteren zenen ineveynik in shtub." The prepositional form of inside is "arayn" as in, "Come inside the house/ Kum arayn in shtub." In this form "inside" really means "into" and one may substitute "into" for "inside" without changing the meaning of the sentence. I suspect that Sherri's parents did not recognize the word "ineveynik" because of the incorrect context. Used properly, I suspect, the word would ring a bell. ------------------------ Digest-Message: 44/3 Date: Tue, 2 Jul 1991 13:04:58 -0400 From: Rick Turkel Mayn yidish is dokh a bisl shvakh.
