Usage notes

• Yiddish as spoken in Eastern Europe until the Holocaust distinguished gender and case (minor variation in forms and usage notwithstanding). The standardized written language reflected the same distinctions and usually does to this day. Yiddish as spoken among religious communities in the United States and Israel, however, has developed an increasing tendency to lose all these distinctions. In such forms of Yiddish, the article form די (di) is used in most situations.
