In Modern Bohemian Ăn Yidiș, mutations and gender have been lost; mutation of nouns is lexical and is based on the form following the definite article in Ăn Cayzăn. Hebrew words usually use non-mutated forms.
* ''dășģă'' 'water' < ''ănd ișģă''
* ''cheylăg'' 'woman' < ''ă' chalăg''
* ''tch(y)ănă'' 'tkhine, a form of non-liturgical prayer' < ''ăn tchină''
However, declension is preserved, as follows:
*sg. indef. ''cheylăg, eyd, cnav, mățvă''
*nom. sg. def. ''ăt cheylăg''/''ăt eyd''/''ăt cnav''/''ăt mățvă'' (marked nom!)
*acc. sg. def. ''ă cheylăģă/ăn eydă/ă cnavă/ă mățvă''
*pl. indef. ''cheylăgăn''/''eydim''/''cnavăn''/''mățvăs''
*nom. pl. def. ''nă cheylăgăn''/''nă h-eydim''/''nă cnavăn''/''nă mățvăs''
*acc. pl. def. ''năn cheylăgăn''/''năn eydim''/''năn cnavăn''/''năm mățvăs''
In contemporary Bohemian Ăn Yidiș, the grammar is shifting to that of Ballmer Ăn Yidiș.
