De shteiner fin choshen and I'm done.
In our home, (we are a bunch of hopeless Yiddish lingvisten) wrong Yiddish grammar was literally a capitol crime.
We policed each other so that no minor mistake ever went unnoticed.

How do you say 'pinkt' in English?
I was "pinkt" there when he came.
I was "pinkt" there for something.

I tried telling someone a story of something that happened and couldn't figure out how to say it.

Did he really turn black?
Ok, I don't recall the full story- as in if it was a fiction or not. but boy did this get my imagination going! lol!
Btw, talk about yeridas hadoires, sometimes I don't recognize my own language  ... my yiddish grammar in speech gets mangles constantly- its terrible. This happens when you're bilingual and jumping from one language to the other.
I used to cringe like crazy. I remember in 11'th grade we had a whole sheet of cringeworthy sentences from a teacher that did not have the best yiddish... I mamash blew up when she said that "ir zin hut arubgefalen". But these days, its so the norm to speak like that- you hear it out of the frummest willi ladies .

I don't agree with that. I think English in some ways is a richer language (because it's absorbed words from so many other languages over the centuries) and has seven different words available, while in Yiddish we must make do with one word that is used seven different ways.

English is richer in words, yes. But there's a chein to yiddish that English is missing.

Absolutely. Ever heard Isaac Bashevis Singer's Nobel Prize acceptance speech?
