Yiddish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Possibly contracted from Middle High German arnen (to harvest; to deserve; to suffer for a misdeed; to make so suffer; to requite), from Old High German arnōn (to harvest), from Proto-Germanic *aznōną, whence also English earn. The Yiddish ar- implies that a following consonant was lost; otherwise we would expect or- as in פֿאָרן (forn) from Middle High German varn.

Verb[edit]

אַרן (arn) (past participle געאַרט (geart))

  1. (impersonal) to bother, concern, be an annoyance
    עס אַרט ניט ווען ער קומט שפּעט.es art nit ven er kumt shpet.It doesn't bother [me] if he comes late.
