How do you say Jewish in Yiddish?

The most common word for "Jewish" in Yiddish is ייִדיש (pronounced "Yiddish").

However, it's important to note that this word can be a bit nuanced:

* Yiddish is sometimes used as an adjective, meaning "Jewish" (e.g., "Yiddish culture," "Yiddish food").

* ייִד (pronounced "Yid") is a more informal and sometimes considered derogatory term for "Jew." It's best to avoid using this word unless you are very familiar with the context and the person you are speaking to.

* איידיש (pronounced "Aydishe") is another word for "Jewish" used specifically for women.

It's always best to err on the side of caution and use ייִדיש when referring to something or someone as Jewish.
