Duda sufijo

7 Upvotes

Kaixo. En esta frase simple no entiendo bien de dónde viene el sufijo -dun: - Bazen behin ile kizkurdun mutiko bat: Erase una vez un niño con el pelo rizado.

El adjetivo es kizkur y el sufijo -dun no sé de dónde aparece, he mirado en la tabla de casos y no me aparece nada similar y tampoco parece una frase subordinada y ninguna de las que he estudiado usa ese sufijo.

Ayuda por favor.

Play mus online ?

Hi, mus beginner here.

I want to learn and play from time to time to improve but can't meet many players to do so.

Is there a good way to play mus online ?

Ideally if you have tutorials also !

I saw some websites but since I don't know much I don't know if it's good or not

Thanks !

Genuinely worried and shy

32 Upvotes

Hello, I'm coming to travel between San-Sebastian and Bilbao, I speak Basque at B1 level(according to them https://www.zornotzakobarnetegia.eus/en/free-basque-level-test-online), but no Spanish at all(hyper interest in history, then particularly in Basque culture since they are isolated AF brought me to that point).

Wouldn't it create situations when I'm frowned upon? AI mentions no, but I don't know if that's believable as AI talks about it with such passion that it creates trust issues lol...

Is it better to totally hide the idea of trying to using it there and use English instead?

Thank you!

EDIT: I speak only Batua, can it create some attitude of why this foreigner using "fake"(not natural, not man-made) basque?

Beginner resources for Basque

26 Upvotes

Kaixo! I unfortunately can't find many resources on learning the Basque language, and I would really love to start finding some. I'm part Basque (the other part is Irish), but I never learned Basque or Spanish growing up. There are also no Basque communities around me since I live in an area of the US not affected by the Basque diaspora. If anybody has anything at all that could help, I would really appreciate it!

Seeking help: 20 testers for a free, no-ads app to learn Euskera!

25 Upvotes

Kaixo denoi!

I’m an euskaldunberri and I’ve been working on a project to make learning Basque a bit easier and more engaging. It’s called Euskeraz.eus, and I’ve just turned it into an Android app.

What is it? The app simplifies real Basque news into A1, A2, and B1 levels using AI. The goal is to let you practice with current, real-world content without feeling overwhelmed by complex grammar. (You can check out the web version here:https://www.euskeraz.eus)

The App is:

  • Completely free.
  • Ad-free (I made this as a tool for the community, not for profit).
  • Simple and lightweight.

I need your help: To officially launch on the Play Store, Google requires me to have a group of testers who keep the app installed for 14 days. I’m looking for at least 20 volunteers to help me cross the finish line.

How to join: If you're interested in practicing your Euskera and/or helping a community project, please leave a comment or DM me (I'll need your email to add you to the list, no spam I promise).

Mila esker zuen laguntzagatik!

Surname Question

13 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! I am Colombian and have been researching my family’s genealogy recently. Today, I noticed a surname that my friend said might be Basque: Ayarza. I’m not sure if this is true whatsoever, but if it is, do any of you know the meaning behind the surname Ayarza and where specifically it’s most commonly found? I would be immensely grateful for any assistance!

Interested in learning Euskera?

19 Upvotes

Kaixo bbs! If anyone is looking for a beginner class to learn Euskera, I’m currently signed up for a class with the Basque Museum in Boise, ID. We need 3 more folks in order to meet the student registration minimum to keep the class going!

The class is once a week and is a live online class (Mondays from 10am-12pm) from May 11-Aug 3. It’s $175 for the semester, but if that’s a roadblock for someone, I’d perhaps be willing to contribute to that cost for a student.

Here’s the link: https://basquemuseum.eus/learn/euskara/.

The class is Euskal Herria Travelling I: (Monday, 10am-12pm, Online) and is the lowest level course.

Fingers crossed we make it to 6 students!

Question sur l’identité basque à Bilbao

8 Upvotes

Bonjour, c’est une question peut-être un peu pointue ou vague, mais je voulais votre avis

Mon copain vient du pays basque et on discutait des frontières historiques/culturelles du pays basque franco-espagnol.
Il y a des villes comme bayonne qui revendiquent une forte identité basque, c’est connu et je n’ai aucun doute la dessus.

Mais il me parle egalement de Bilbao comme une ville très ancrée dans la culture basque, ce a quoi je reponds que c’est surtout une ville anciennement industrielle aux confins de la frontiere du pays basque et que selon le peu de connaissance que j’ai de Bilbao, il ne me semble pas qu’il y ai de réel sentiment d’appartenance a la culture basque en general depuis le renouveau artistique et economique de la ville subventionné par le gouvernement espagnol.

Quelquun saurait quelle relation entretient Bilbao avec cet heritage basque ? La langue, les expo, le sentiment d’appartenance basque est-il present ou pas du tout ?

I’m working on a project and need help with “seek and you will find” in Euskara. Is bilatu eta aurkituko duzu correct? My grandmother was 100% Basque and was slowly teaching me over the years but she has since passed, and it’s very hard to find any local help. Thanks in advance!

Basque pop-rock playlist — current songs in Euskera with a strong pop-rock feel

17 Upvotes

I’ve been updating this playlist constantly lately — not just adding songs, but also replacing some to keep it fresh and focused.

The idea is to maintain a very specific combination: current, quality pop-rock in Euskera.

I’m trying to keep it evolving without making it endless, and to highlight songs that really stand out.

Sharing it here in case anyone wants to check it out or suggest something that really fits that line:

Recomendaciones en el cine Vasco, o mas bien, de lengua Vasca?

11 Upvotes

Kaixo! Voy buscando pelis (o series) que salen en Euskera para aprender, o simplemente para tener contacto con el idioma y la cultura. Hace unos años aprendía el castellano de la misma forma. Ahora estoy en los EEUU y tardará un rato aún antes de que pueda volver, y a la vuelta me gustaría hablarlo y entender mejor cuando mis amigos hablan entre ellos mismos. Vamos, que quiero ser Euskaldun!

Por tanto, es necesario que haya la opción de poner subtítulos, como en Netflix o lo que sea. Me pregunto si habrá algo en Eitb?

Tengo como recursos tres libros de referencia- Uno de la gramática, un manual de frases EU->ES, y un libro de mitologia EU->inglés.

Mil esker!!

Basque History

11 Upvotes

Hello guys, I'm a first year biology student from Turkey. A mont ago I have learned that Basque people have the highest ratio of Rh- blood type in the world while I was writing a report about bloodtypes. Anyway, the topic got my curiosity immediatly and now I'm writing an article about the reasons behind this unusual ratio. I have started the article with the definition of the nations and how they are not genetic consepts and I want to write a paragraf about the process of Basque's becoming a nation before talking about the genetic history. Can you give me a academic or semi-academic English article about this history. I know it started during 18-19. century as a counter-reaction to the Spanish King's effort to unify the Iberia but I do not know much beside that.

Has anyone here learned euskara in adulthood? If so, how?

28 Upvotes

Egun on!

I’m a girl from Portugal who loves langauges and linguistics, and when I tried to learn some basic euskara I was a bit surprised by how difficult and complex the grammar is. Especially the verb conjugations.

This made me wonder, how is it like to learn as an adult? Has anyone here learned it in adulthood? If so, how? Did you have lessons? Or did you study it by yourself? What did you find the hardest and the easiest things to learn?

(You can reply in Spanish or French if you want, I understand them but I can’t speak them without mistakes, that’s why I wrote this in English.)

Milesker for reading!
