This paper discusses the hitherto undocumented wh-ever constructions in contemporary American Hasidic Yiddish. Employment of these Germanic constructions in both written and spoken American Hasidic Yiddish raises the question of their origin and the possibility that several Germanic varieties have influenced this seemingly new pattern. Specifically, these constructions might have originated from German-ized Yiddish varieties and past contact with Judeo-German, and then gradually become entrenched in American Hasidic Yiddish through contact with English. The paper uses this particular construction to offer some more general reflections on the possibility of historical impact of German on American Hasidic Yiddish during the formation of Hasidic Yiddish varieties in Williamsburg (New York) in the 1950s.*

本文讨论了当代美国哈西德意第绪语中迄今未记录的wh-ever结构。在书面和口头美国哈西德意第绪语中使用这些日耳曼语结构提出了它们的起源问题，以及几个日耳曼语变体影响了这种看似新的模式的可能性。具体来说，这些结构可能起源于德国化的意第绪语变体和过去与犹太德语的接触，然后通过与英语的接触逐渐在美国哈西德意第绪语中根深蒂固。本文使用这种特殊的结构来提供一些更普遍的思考，即在 1950 年代在威廉斯堡（纽约）形成哈西德意第绪语品种期间，德语对美国哈西德意第绪语的历史影响的可能性。*
