With \u003cem\u003eJust Say Nu\u003c\/em\u003e, he shows us how to use this remarkable language to spice up conversations, stories, presentations, arguments, and more, when plain English will not suffice (including, of course, lots of delightful historical and cultural side trips along the way).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is, quite simply, nothing in the world that can't be improved by being translated into Yiddish. With \u003cem\u003eJust Say Nu\u003c\/em\u003e, readers will learn how to shmooze their way through meeting and greeting, eating and drinking, praising and finding fault, maintaining personal hygiene, parenting, going to the doctor, committing crimes, going to singles bars, having sex, talking politics, talking trash, and a host of other mundane activities. Here also is a healthy schmear of optional grammar and the five most useful Yiddish words--what they mean, and how and when to use them in an entire conversation without anybody suspecting you don't have the vaguest idea about what you're actually saying. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Wex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780061657320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWex, Michael:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNovelist, lecturer, and translator Michael Wex is one of the leading lights in the revival of Yiddish, and author of the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller \u003cem\u003eBorn to Kvetch\u003c\/em\u003e and its follow-up, \u003cem\u003eJust Say Nu\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45069839499379,"sku":"9780061657320","price":19.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_4b6fc072-00bf-4af3-9155-1ec6042048f6.jpg?v=1780604859","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/just-say-nu-yiddish-for-every-occasion-when-english-just-wont-do-9780061657320","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
