Etymology
Clipping of פּוילישער ייִד (poylisher yid), with the feminine פּוילישע (poylishe) formed by back-formation.
Noun
פּוילישער • (poylisher) m, plural פּוילישע (poylishe), feminine פּוילישע (poylishe)
- Polish Jew
Usage notes
- Yiddish rigorously distinguishes between Jews and non-Jews in national terminology. A Polish non-Jew is not a poylisher, but rather a פּאָליאַק (polyak).
- This noun declines in much the same way as the adjective פּויליש, but without the separate predicate form. For example, the dative and accusative singular are פּוילישן (poylishn).
