'Long as you're pronouncing it right. The "kv" sound is one syllable. (Well, as close to one syllable as it can possibly get.). You can do it!

(Lotta people can't though.)

Same as for the "kn" sound in "knish". You get the idea.

I'm from New York! We can ALL pronounce it right!

I was brought up by parents who spoke Yiddish to each other as a "secret from the kids" language, & my Mom once told me she knew no English until she was sent to school (they both were born in the US of A, & both spoke with the accents-in-English of the cities of their raising, Detroit & NYC).

But I never heard those words that Sat Night Live comedian playing his obnoxious aunt made famous to non-Jewish Americans, kvell & whatever else? Shvitz. Where the "shv" should be close to one syllable. Whatever.

I guess my parents didn't kvell very much.

Or shvitz.

But I from my Mom heard as every other word, practically, kinehora. Pronounced kin'-eh-haw'ruh. Nothing to do with the dance.

I only learned as an adult reading a book on Yiddish that it means "may the Evil Eye not see this good thing".

I was never taught in English anything about any Evil Eye.

(Though its definitely around here because I just discovered something/one, probably my cat, has ripped a great jacket I never leave out because the cat rips things.)

The way my mother used kinehora I thought it meant que sera sera ("whatever will be, will be" if I'm to believe the song).

At any rate, you're not *supposed* to kvell, kinehora.

And I cannot figure out the logic of how talking to Ol' Evil Eye keeps it away. I guess its an incantation of sorts.

que sera sera

Some kinehora mishegas (craziness):
