shalom and hello to all my dear and beloved comrades .❤

This is a question for german speaking comrades.

I have a question about the different and similarities between yiddish and german languages .

vi enlekh zenen di beyde shprakhn ?

(How similar are the two languages?)

es iz kampatabal mit daytsh shprakh ?

(Is it compatible with German language?)

aoyb a ashkhnzisher id redt tsu dir aoyf eydish ken ir das farshteyn ?

(if a Ashkenazi Jew speaks to you in yiddish can you understand it ?)

    Very interesting! I had no idea the similarities between these two languages, but it makes sense, and after you pointed it out I can definitely tell reading it (I don’t speak German but phonetically etc)
