Do You Know Your Yiddish Kvetching?

#yiddishquiz

To kvetch, or not to kvetch? That is the question. To be honest, kvetch doesn’t mean the same thing in Yiddish as it does in English. In Yiddish, kvetch means “to press,” or “to squeeze,” whereas in English, it has come to mean “to complain.” In spite of that technicality, kvetching is seen by many as a Jewish national sport. To wit: “The food is terrible, and the portions are so small,” or, “You didn’t like the other tie?”
