קרעכצן
krekhtsn
to groan, to moan (usually while complaining) · verb
The little grunt-sigh someone lets out when they sit down, stand up, or think about their back. It's the soundtrack to everyday effort, not a full-blown complaint.
װאָס קרעכצסטו? דער דאָקטער האָט דיר דאָך געזאָגט אַז ס'איז גאָרנישט.
“What are you groaning about? The doctor already told you it's nothing.”
Think of the person in your family whose entrance into a room you could recognise from the noise alone.
