Usage notes[edit]
  • Yiddish rigorously distinguishes between Jews and non-Jews in national terminology. A Ukrainian non-Jew is not an ukrainisher, but rather an אוקראַיִנער (ukrainer).
  • This noun declines in much the same way as the adjective אוקראַיִניש (ukrainish), but without the separate predicate form. For example, the dative and accusative singular are אוקראַיִנישן (ukrainishn).
