You can't pronounce the word "tv",

Sure you can. Just say "tvorog" then say it again without the "orog".

Or say "mazel tov" without the vowel in the last word.

ObOtherLanguage - the word "massel" in Dutch means
good luck. With a similar etymological path, the Dutch also
have words like "jaaijem" and "baaies". Are these
familiar to those residents of Brooklyn (Breukelen)
that speak the lingo of origin?
