Yiddish is full of Hebrew words.
This didnt make our fathers understand Hebrew.
Take the religious term : Maym Achronim meaning Last water.
Used in the Havdala for wetting the fingertips when
some Broches were spoken.
Our fathers called these waters : Mayim Achroinim Wasser.
Making as much sense as : Last water water.
