Relationships[edit]

How is the relationship of the yiddish word "schmear" to the german word "schmieren"? Yes I know, yiddish is a kind of german, mixed with slavic and hebrew. However, there are several words in german derived from yiddish and vice versa (like Meschugge). So the question, from my point of view, is "schmear" in the sense of "I got bagels to schmear" derived from hebrew, slavic or germanic language?

I recommend you research the etymology of the word "smear" (rather than "schmear") for more context. 199.46.198.230 (talk) 13:57, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Duden says: "schmieren Herkunftmittelhochdeutsch smir(we)n, althochdeutsch smirwen, zu Schmer". Maikel (talk) 19:51, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not a dictionary[edit]

@Sammi Brie and Spiderone: doesn't WP:NOTDIC apply to this article? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 20:10, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: - possibly. It depends on if it has WP:SIGCOV and if the article can be expanded upon just being a dictionary entry. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:13, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
