GUEST,herbroth@san.rr.com	Yiddish pronunciation? (11)	RE: Yiddish pronunciation?	11 Oct 02
First off, I'd disagree that "ay" is automatically pronounced "I". Yiddish, like most other languages, has regional dialects,but the more usual pronunciation of "sheyne" (pretty, beautiful, etc.) would be "shay-neh." The "-keit" suffix is analagous to English "-ness" and is pronounced as "kite."
