Yiddish Word of the Day!
Mechayeh
If you walk into an air-conditioned room, or taste iced water on a hot day, you might say Ah, what a mechayeh, meaning literally, something that has brought you back from death to life, and colloquially, something relieving or refreshing.
(One could think that the phrase reflects our penchant for dramatic self-expression, where others might simply say, that was nice.)
Mechayeh derives from the Hebrew, chai, meaning life (as in lchaim). In Yiddish, the word has numerous other uses. Something delicious, delightful or enjoyable is mechayehdik. If its extra delicious, you could say its mechayeh nefashos (reviving souls) or mechayeh nefashosdik.
