Sorry didn’t notice the typos.
Tzatzkes are toys not tots.

We use also shpieltzeigen.

We call toys shpielerei. But shpieltzeig is a normal word. I didn't realize yiddish speakers don't know so many words.

Kids.
Each kid had a para. The echtiga Satmar didn’t know these and was surprised.

That makes sense. Most of the list - all the blue - is used only in writing. Kids who haven’t read much yet won’t know those.
Schmitz-vesh is family dependent, some use it, some use hamper

They went to satmar school? It's really strange. Maybe you pronounced them with a different accent?

That’s weird then. I guess they don’t read much.

Written and spoken Yiddish are sooooo different nowadays, it’s almost 2 different languages.

A lot of these words are actually in German!
Like faschiert means minced can refer to chicken or meat.
Badewanne means bathtub.
Handtuch is a towel etc....

Right, but people were claiming most words as being in Hungarian, so I just pointed these out

Happens to be that I just saw it in a kid's video. Guess it's an old folks tale

Wow. I haven’t thought of that story in 30 years and reading this thread somehow brought it back . I used to sit on my grandmas lap and she would tell me that story over and over again . I loved it . I should call her now and make her tell it to me again . But I probably shouldn’t sit on her lap while she tells it because I would most likely crush her .

Does anyone know the story of the “Chadala badala “?

No! Please do tell. I only ever heard the words “einmul is geven a chadele badala” when my father lacked the patience to tell me yet another bedtime story. I never got to hear what happened to him.

Anyone’s grandmother called a bathtub a “beetl”? I haven’t heard it from anyone else, curious where it comes from.

Oh my! I was sure no one would know that. I'm still not sure if it was a real thing. Maybe we are related.

My IL live in Willi. They are 10 siblings. Familia?
