[Cz-L] Yiddish

The appendix "Zhe" in Yiddish.
(From the Ukrainean )
   By adding the "Zhe " to a verb it becomes a plea, a supplication.
    " Sug-zhe mir " is - please , tell me.
    " Schluf-zhe " please sleep - sings the mother in a lullaby.
      But not only , "What did he tell you " is " Wus hot er dir gesugt "
       but we used to say : " Wu-zhe hot er dir gesugt ? "
        Something like : "What, then , did he tell you ?
         Spicy talk,
                           Hardy
