מזיק
mazik
a little devil; a mischievous, adored child · noun (masculine); plural מזיקים / mazikim
A seven-year-old on the roof. His grandmother, watching from the yard, calls him a mazik — and pours him more soup the moment he climbs down.
דאָס ייִנגל איז אַ מזיק, ער האָט שוין ווידער אַרויסגעלאָזט די קאַץ פֿון שטוב.
“That boy is a mazik — he let the cat out of the house again.”
Who was the mazik in your family when you were growing up?
