Formal:
* ליבער (LibeR) - This is the most common and formal way to say "dear" for both male and female. It can be used in a letter, a speech, or when addressing someone respectfully.
Informal:
* ליב (Lib) - This is a more informal way to say "dear", used for both male and female. It's similar to "honey" or "sweetheart" in English.
* טייער (TeiyeR) - This means "dear" or "precious" and can be used in a more affectionate way, like "my dear".
* ליבע (Liebe) - This is a more informal way to say "dear" for a woman. It can be used in a letter or when addressing a woman affectionately.
Note: In Yiddish, the ending of a word changes depending on gender. So, "Lieber" is for a man, and "Liebe" is for a woman.
Examples:
* ליבער פריינד (LibeR freind) - Dear friend
* ליבע מאַמע (Liebe mame) - Dear mother
* טייערער ברודער (TeiyeRer bruder) - Dear brother
* ליב (Lib) - Dear (informal, gender neutral)
It's important to remember that the specific word you choose will depend on the context and your relationship with the person you are addressing.
