Noun
מאַרשרוט • (marshrut) m, plural מאַרשרוטן (marshrutn)
- route, itinerary, course
Usage notes
- Note that German Marschroute is feminine but Yiddish מאַרשרוט (marshrut) is masculine, taking the definite article דער (der) rather than די (di) (cf. German "die Marschroute"). This may be a sign that it was borrowed from a language in which the word is masculine, such as Russian.
