Er geit ois for ir....he's dying for her
Er kocht in ir .....like he's all cooked up for her

What's the English word for shlemazzel?
Or chashuv. You'd say important, but not really. Because you'd say "It's important to put on sunscreen when it's hot" but you wouldn't say it's chashuv to. You'd say, "it's really important that you're home on time to watch the kids so I can leave on time" but again, you can't use chashuv there.....


Haha. My first reaction to an English word for shlemazzel was "maybe klutz"? Oy.

For chashuv, maybe "esteemed".
