פֿאַרטשאַדעטfartshadet meaning in Yiddish
dazed, foggy-headed (as if from fumes) · adjective
Somebody shut the stove damper too early, and now the whole family sits there with heavy heads and glassy eyes. That's where fartshadet comes from, and a three-hour wedding next to the drummer still does the same thing to you.
נאָך דרײַ שעה לעבן די פּויקן אויף דער חתונה בין איך אַרויסגעגאַנגען אינגאַנצן פֿאַרטשאַדעט.
“After three hours next to the drums at the wedding, I walked out completely dazed.”
Think of coal fumes trapped in the room by an early damper: heavy head, slow brain, totally stunned.
