Yenta

A Yenta is a Yiddish term, often used to describe a woman who is a busybody or gossip, particularly one who delights in making matches, often for marriage. The term originates from the Yiddish word yente (ייִנטע), which can be translated to Hebrew as lagiyoret (לגיורית) or metragenit (מתרגנת). In other languages, similar concepts might be referred to as a comadrona in Spanish, marieuse in French, or senshi (センサイ) in Japanese, though these terms may carry slightly different connotations. The character of Yenta Tzayich in the popular musical Fiddler on the Roof has popularized and cemented the stereotype of the yenta as a meddling matchmaker in modern culture. Historically, the role of a yenta was more nuanced, often involving the facilitation of social connections and community building within Jewish communities.
