I really admire these two. I believe they employ a very sophisticated and advanced Yiddish, way beyond mere conversational Yiddish. I’m a junior grade yiddishist compared to these guys, a 71 year old pisher in comparison. I also love all the yinglish they throw in. And, best of all, their Yiddish emerges from their specific TH-cam personas, their characters.
I’ve watched several episodes of YLC and laugh hysterically! I have a friend who’s mother’s a professor of Yiddish at Columbia U. He is an actor who received acclaim for his performance in a Yiddish production of Death of a Salesman in NY.
I'm a grammar nerd (of any language) and I can listen this type of conversation for hours. Plus these two are hilarious. I watch and re-watch their shows and maybe learn a little more yiddish each time.
I was trying to learn a bit of Mandarin when I worked with 7 Chinese anesthesiologist. Most thought that the "others" pronounced words incorrectly. 8>)
Ani yachol medaberikit ivrit, germanit, galandit, afrikaans und ich verstehe Jüddisch (Yiddish) wenn diese boyckim auf Jüddisch sprechen. J'habite Montréal aussi. L'chaim und Sei Gezind haverim Hebrewim v Shebrewim sheli.
i love your videos on yiddish! I also noticed that no two speakers speak the "same". Interestingly some people speak literal german. I understand every single word as a german native speaker, except the "hebrew" words. The only big difference is the placement of verbs. I feel in yiddish you place the verb enywhere you like it: Bist du gewesen in der Schule? German: Bist du in der Schule gewesen? In modern German you put the verb at the end of the sentence. Example: Ich bin nach Hause gelaufen. I went home. Yiddish: Ich bin gelaufen nach Hause. also, you use a lot of "Mädel", girl in english, in German it is an old timey word for "Mädchen", or specifically a dialect word in southern germany

Eli in the Scmaltz sketch saying, "vos fahr a fuck iz dos?" is my favorite J for Js! These guys are so fine-tuned with how they use language.

Saw their show on Mercer Island. Wonderful.
