Details zum Buch
Born to Kvetch: Yiddish Language and Culture in All Its Moods

The entry for "kvetchn "(the verbal form) in Uriel Weinreich's "Modern English-Yiddish Yiddish-English Dictionary" reads simply: "press, squeeze, pinch; strain." There is no mention of grumbling or complaint. You can "kvetch" an orange to get juice, "kvetch" a buzzer for service, or "kvetch mit di pleytses," shrug your shoulders, when no one responds to the buzzer that you "kvetched." All perfectly good, perfectly common uses of the verb "kvetchn," none of which appears to have the remotest connection with the idea of whining or complaining. The link is found in Weinreich's "strain" which he uses to define "kvetchn zikh," to press or squeeze oneself, the reflexive form of the verb. Alexander Harkavy's 1928 "Yiddish-English-Hebrew Dictionary" helps make Weinreich's meaning clearer. It isn't simply to strain, but "to strain," as Harkavy has it, "at stool," to have trouble doing what, if you'd eaten your prunes the way you were supposed to, you wouldn't have any trouble with at all. The connection with complaint lies, of course, in the tone of voice: someone who's "kvetching" sounds like someone who's paying the price for not having taken his castor oil---and he has just as eager an audience. A really good "kvetch" has a visceral quality, a sense that the "kvetcher" won't be completely comfortable, completely satisfied, until it's all come out. Go ahead and ask someone how they're feeling; if they tell you, "Don't ask," just remember that you already have. The twenty-minute litany of "tsuris" is nobody's fault but your own. ---from "Born to Kvetch"
