Or similar words like a scratch, or a bruise, or a cut?
And how do you say band-aid? (Plaster?)

Thank you!

No, but I know that sometimes Hebrew terms get integrated into Yiddish.

In BP we say a boo-boo for anytime a kid gets hurt.
And we call a band aid a band-aid.

That's how it goes in yiddish, you add some words in english.

Boo boo is universal. We speak Yiddish at home and my kids say boo boo, we also say bandaid.

Thanks!

I speak Yiddish to my kids but it's mostly self-taught, so I sometimes wonder if there are Yiddish terms I'm missing. Glad to hear that in this case I'm still okay!

I think that Boo boo is used in all languages....
We say band aid. Some yiddish speakers yiddishize the word & say bendage. בענדעש
