Dangermauss, it’s not Hebrew, it’s only the Hebrew alphabet. Nevertheless, you’re right that it’s written right to left and the answer is mistaken.

Player #1881512, Bloop is a mistake in a Film. Zoink is from Lets Make a Deal, You löst.

The spoken & written word - in almost every language - has to do with context. By that I mean, I can usually discern the meaning, or idea conveyed, of a particular word, by the context in which it is used. "Shtick", may have its roots in Yiddish, but it means the same thing in any language because of the "context" in which it's used. Example: "His rectangular shtick was easy to see", makes no sense; but "His typical comedy shtick was humorous" does make sense. Capiche?

Player #1881512, goodness gracious sakes alive. no! Yiddish has a very exciting language. Export German import Jewish. I was fortunate enough a few years ago to know several people who spoke Jewish during our breakfast meetings. It was an educational experience. Show of hands please anyone here who could benefit from an educational experience?

I have been noticing that anytime one of the questions has a Yiddish or Hebrew answer, the Hebrew transliteration is written backward, i.e., the Hebrew characters are written from left to righy, instead of from right to left, nearly like a mirror reversal. Does anyone know how this can be corrected?

Very interesting. I thought these words were just expressions with no meaning like zoink or bloop. I’m being serious. Did anybody else think this?

Credo ergo sum., I can also see the words written in Hebrew, maybe your device just does not have that alphabet downloaded? Although Hebrew is not one of the languages I know, I suspect "MuscleD" is Jewish and might actually know what he's talking about, for once.
