What is the meaning of Yiddish word Maskir?

The Yiddish word Maskir (pronounced "maskir") has two main meanings:

1. To disguise, hide, or conceal something. This is the most common meaning and is related to the verb "maske" in Hebrew.

2. To mask, cover, or veil something. This meaning is often used in the context of hiding emotions or intentions.

Here are some examples:

* "Er hot gemaskirt zayn gesicht" (He disguised his face)

* "Zey hobn gemaskirt di vahrheit" (They hid the truth)

* "Er hot gemaskirt zayn shok" (He masked his shock)

It's worth noting that Maskir can also be a noun, meaning a disguise or a mask.

In contemporary usage, the word Maskir is often used figuratively to refer to the act of hiding or suppressing something. For example, someone might say "Er hot gemaskirt zayn gefil" (He masked his feelings) to suggest that they are not expressing their true emotions.
