I'm pretty sure this is in fact plural. Where are you getting that it's singular? --WikiTiki89 00:25, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

 * In English? Because in Yiddish books in Google Books it seems to be nearly always plural. --WikiTiki89 03:17, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Yes, Chasidim exist and speak Yiddish, however their Yiddish has deviated a bit from the conventional dialects as of the mid-twentieth century and earlier, especially with regard to adjectival inflection, which is probably the exact issue here. --WikiTiki89 17:47, 9 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Three people I know who grew up speaking Yiddish in non-chassidic environments (ranging in age from 35 to 75) all use singular agreement with gefilte fish. One insisted that plural agreement struck his ear as totally bizarre. But these are anecdotes and original research so. —  [ זכריה קהת ] Zack. — 13:19, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
