Etymology 2

Ellipsis of אוקראַיִנישע ייִדישקע (ukrainishe yidishke) or אוקראַיִנישע ייִד f (ukrainishe yid), by analogy with אוקראַיִנישער (ukrainisher).

Noun

אוקראַיִנישע • (ukrainishe) f, plural אוקראַיִנישע (ukrainishe)

  1. Ukrainian Jewish woman
Usage notes
  • Yiddish rigorously distinguishes between Jews and non-Jews in national terminology. A Ukrainian non-Jewish woman is not an ukrainishe, but rather an אוקראַיִנערין (ukrainerin) or אוקראַיִנערקע (ukrainerke).
  • This noun declines in much the same way as the adjective אוקראַיִניש (ukrainish), but without the separate predicate form. For example, the dative singular is אוקראַיִנישער (ukrainisher).
