Re: [Cz-L] Yiddish Committee

Sorry Cornel,
   Proste is not German. It is Ukrain.
    In Czernowitzerisch you could say :Eine proste Frau , in Germany nobody
would understand that.
      In Czernowitz you could say almost anything.
        The language changed with the administration : In Austrian times if
you got
        a permit you got a Bewilligung . Popovici gave us an Autorizatie,
       In 1946 we waited for the Propuske to get out.
            Very dynamic vocabulary.
