General Boss/Superior:
* באַס (bas): This is the most direct translation, borrowed from the English word "boss."
* הַרבֿ (harav): This means "master" or "rabbi" and can be used to address a boss in a more formal or respectful way.
* הַרשֿ (harish): This also means "master" but has a more authoritative and sometimes even intimidating connotation.
More Specific/Informal:
* מײַסטער (mayster): This is more like "foreman" or "master" and can be used for a boss in a specific trade or craft.
* הַפּעטרוּן (hapetrun): This is the most common way to refer to a boss in a more informal setting, especially in a small business. It can be translated as "owner" or "patron."
The best way to choose the right word is to consider the specific context and the relationship you have with your boss.
It's also important to note that Yiddish is a vibrant and expressive language. You may even encounter slang terms or regional variations for "boss" depending on who you're talking to.
