Talk:Schmear

Relationships
How is the relationship of the yiddish word "schmear" to the german word "schmieren"? Yes I know, yiddish is a kind of german, mixed with slavic and hebrew. However, there are several words in german derived from yiddish and vice versa (like Meschugge). So the question, from my point of view, is "schmear" in the sense of "I got bagels to schmear" derived from hebrew, slavic or germanic language?

I recommend you research the etymology of the word "smear" (rather than "schmear") for more context. 199.46.198.230 (talk) 13:57, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

 * - possibly. It depends on if it has WP:SIGCOV and if the article can be expanded upon just being a dictionary entry. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:13, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
