What is the difference between beshert and bashert?
What is the difference between "beshert" and "bashert"?
While both terms convey the same meaning, I am curious about the reasons for the two different spellings. Is one derived from Yiddish and the other from Hebrew? Additionally, is one spelling used as a noun while the other is not? When referring to my partner and me as being "meant to be," which term should I use, or are both acceptable?

ok so my source is google translate…
באשערט Bashert means destined
בעשערט Beshert means visitor
I will check again in Harkavys Dictionary and the online yiddish dictionary but I didn’t see anything… let you know if I find anything but from google Beshert means noun visitor and the other meant to be?
oh hey hey hey! Bashert meant to be http://www.yiddishdictionaryonline.com/ search the word “meant” with search by the english word selected and bashert will come up… also from yiddish class for “we are meant to be” I guess you’d say ‘mir zehnen bashert’ מיר זענען באשערט
ok wait, then I search google for soul mate in hebrew and it tells me the yiddish word beshert means destined! I think they are just different pronunciations/spelling variations of the same adjective meant to be- basherte(feminine) basherter(masculine) are soul mate in yiddish. if you wanted to say soul mate id say “mayn basherten (dative case)” and thats my final answer lol
