-Ish is actually very old, it comes from the old english suffix -isc meaning the same thing.

According to my quick google search there are also old norse, dutch, and greek suffixes.

If your not using -ish as a Jew, then your not doing it right.

Well, by Judaism's standards you're a Jew if your mother's a Jew, so... Mazal Tov!

Wait ... really? Isn't that kind of ... shitty?
AyoSis
Why? Nobody said they have to believe anything, just that they can be as jewish as they want to be. Christianity is the universalizing (1/2)
AyoSis
Religion here. In my experience judaism is very chill, and though I am jewish nobody ever pressured me to believe in god. (2/2)
afriendofmine
You're a jew only if your mother is jew does not seem pretty chill to me.
AyoSis
That's not even the modern opinion. If so much as a distant relative is Jewish, sure, you can still be as jewish as you want to be.

I don't think the matrilineality is that strict. I'm pretty sure they don't counter further back than your parents.
popejubal
Depends on which Rabbi you ask.
DeathApocalypse
it is. only two ways to be Jewish: a) your mother is Jewish (and by extension her mother and her mother...) b) convert. source: I'm a Jew
blainetog
Does that mean the children of converts aren't Jewish unless their grandmother also converts?
WeiYanZhuo
It is strange that they try to apply those religious standards of Jewishness even if someone doesn't believe in the religion, eh?
AyoSis
What? We're very chill, they didn't say they have to believe in anything, just that they can be Jewish if they want to be.
WeiYanZhuo
David Silverman has a section about it in his book where he talks about the fact he used to consider himself Jewish, but not anymore.

Penn Jillette married a woman who had Jewish parents. That side of the family keeps trying to demand that the kids are Jewish.

I'm not a Jew but I'm circumcised, have curly hair, and am good with money. So I'm Jew-ish.

If you're not jewish, why didn't your parents just teach you how to clean your wee-wee instead of disfiguring it thinking it's "healthy"?
BurlRavenscroft
How about asking someone if they're happy with their dick before telling them it's wrong next time, buddy

What a strange idea to not have "-ish" ...
BecauseBenjamin
The language has "-ish." You can say "gurai" for time or "mitai na kanji" or similar. But using them to make appointments... Panic ensues.
Volt1ighter
Yup. It's not so much that the concept doesn't exist, it's that use of it is much more socially acceptable in western countries

Not just late, got on a train 3 minutes early once, went half an hour in the wrong direction. My train was perfectly on time.
Hayatev3
And they have people who read these notes to foreigners, they're called trainislators.
MrShineHimDiamond
You magnificent bastard!
confanity
A bit of an urban legend! I've been on late trains in Japan without getting special passes for it. Maybe you need to request one?
SpittleFairy
I worked in Tokyo, 1,000,000 went through my station every day. You have to request a note. No chance they could just hand them out.
whyexactly
And I believe they consider 1 minute off schedule to be late
DeChief
Not quite; it usually has to be a bit longer, maybe 5 minutes at the least.
Spinnyd
Not at my company, 1 second late is late.
kuschku
Germans consider their trains late, but 98.5% are less than two minutes late, and 96% less than a minute late. The rest is >2h late, though.
fenomas
They offer notes, in case people need them to prove to their work or school why they're late.

If only they did that in New York, MTA is a wreck.

Fun fact: that started because people would kill themselves by flinging themselves onto the train tracks, causing EVERYONE to be late for >>
ashmenon
>> work. Employees needed some way to prove that the delay wasn't their fault.

The Latin countries never use it either, they know what it is, it's just redundant because it's always implied

Mongolians don't have a word for "the" or "a". So, telling someone to sit down in either "a" chair or "the" 1/2
mrsheepbro
Latin also lacks articles. It was one of the harder things to get used to.
interopia
same in vietnamese!
eetsumkaus
2/2 that's why you hear a lot of asians drop it in English
Supea
I just find articles like a and the to be redundant in languages and adding unwarranted complexity
eetsumkaus
it depends how the language is constructed and used. It's useful in English because the context is typically said, not implied
eetsumkaus
most Asian languages don't have a definite/indefinite article IIRC. We have words for "that" and "this", but not "the"/"a" 1/2
jackharvest
chair isn't possible -- once must say "any" chair, or "that" chair. 2/2

That's how you know English is the future, the more complex you can make a sentence the better a language it is
busdriverdan
Thank you! So many people shit on english for being confusing and complex but it is superior for expressing any idea.
MaayaAjau
We do have "ish".ぐらい can be used for time, and っぽい(although colloquial) can't be used for time, but covers other uses of "ish"
DerogatoryDegenerate
Why not time? What if you're inviting your friend over for beers but not really bothered when they come round so you just say 8-ish
ICantDecideOnAUserNameAndKeepChangingIt
For those who can't read it: ぐらい is read "gurai" and っぱい is read "ppoi."
ICantDecideOnAUserNameAndKeepChangingIt
Just realized I wrote ぱ instead of ぽ. ぽ is read "po," and is what is written. ぱ (what I wrote) is read "pa."
PsychicSalad
How do you pronounce a double p? "Pe"poi or "P"poi?
JuicyRhino
Like another said, it's called a "glottal stop", and we have it in English. Think of the phrase "uh-oh"- it's the small pause in the middle.
FrankensteinUnleashed
Doubled consonants in Japanese (and some other languages, see British 'bottle' as example) indicate a glottal stop.
eetsumkaus
think of how you say the "pp" in "application". That's how you say it
MaayaAjau
It's a double consonant with a space in between them. For example, 色っぽい(iroppoi/sexy) is pronounced "Irop-poi". A glottal stop.
ICantDecideOnAUserNameAndKeepChangingIt
I always though sexy was えろっぽい. Wouldn't 色っぽい mean something closer to colorful? The wide range of uses for 色 will always confuse me.
Sangrecita
(Disclaimer: not Japanese, just watch a lot of anime.) "ppoi" sounds like "poi" except the p sounds a bit like a stressed b. (1/2)
Sangrecita
(2/2) Just insert "男っぽい" (otokoppoi; manly) into Google Translate and give it a listen. You'll see what I mean.

He assumed she was Chinese (she's Japanese), so she gave him a completely out-of-left-field "hello" in Polish to throw him off.
TavisMcNamara
Not entirely out-of-left-field. More like "Oh, you're Asian, I'll say hello in Chinese!" "Oh, you're European, I'll say hello in Polish!"
