How do you say welcome in Yiddish?

The most common way to say "welcome" in Yiddish is "Vilkommen" (ווילקאָמען). It's directly borrowed from the German "Willkommen."

Here are some other options, depending on the context:

* "Zolst du gut zayn" (זאָלסט דו גוט זײַן) - "May you be well" - a more formal and traditional greeting.

* "Zolst du shayn" (זאָלסט דו שײַן) - "May you shine" - another formal greeting, expressing a wish for good fortune.

* "Geshmak" (געשמאַק) - "Enjoy" - used when welcoming someone to a meal or event.

* "Mazel Tov" (מאַזל טאָוו) - "Good luck" - used when welcoming someone to a new beginning, like a new job or home.

The best option depends on the situation and your level of familiarity with the person you are greeting.
