From the English-Yiddish Dictionary, you will find multiple descriptions for the word "Uncle."

They are as follows:

1. brother of one's parent; husband of one's aunt; informal title for an older man (especially a friend of the family); pawnbroker (Slang)

English: Uncle Yiddish: Fetter

2. Tom (disapproving) a black person who is considered to be too eager to help or agree with white people or too willing to accept being treated in a way that is not equal to white people Those who have taken courses in Afro- American studies have surely come across the work of Henry Louis Gates and know that he is no Uncle Tom.

English: uncle Yiddish: feter

3. n the brother of someone's mother or father, or the husband of someone's aunt I've got several uncles and aunts. He's my Uncle George. Did you bring me a present, Uncle Jack? (as form of address) Hello, uncle. (as form of address) A man who is not a relative but who is a close friend of the family is also sometimes called uncle by children. One of our neighbours became such a good family friend that when I was a child I called him Uncle Bruno. If you are male and your brother or sister has a child, you become an uncle yourself. How strange to be 15 years old and yet have two little nieces who call me Uncle Ali. (dated informal) " Who was at the reception?" " Oh, (old) Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all (= everyone, including the least important or famous) . "

English: uncle Yiddish: onkl

Breeder, or Bruder, depending on the pronunciation. The former is the Hassidic pronunciation, while the latter is how we say the same word in the Yiddish of Germany and Russia.

"OHN-kl". Just like the German word that the English word comes from.
