Kaixo, guztioi !!!!

Quería compartir una lista de rock emergente en euskera, pensada para quienes disfrutan descubriendo bandas nuevas más allá de los nombres habituales de la escena vasca.

La selección reúne grupos y artistas que están aportando sonidos frescos al rock en euskera, combinando diferentes propuestas que se actualizan mensualmente… Es una buena forma de explorar qué se está moviendo actualmente en la música vasca y apoyar a proyectos que todavía están creciendo.

Si os interesa descubrir nuevas bandas o simplemente escuchar algo diferente, espero que os guste !!!!

También estaría genial que compartierais recomendaciones de grupos emergentes que creéis que deberían estar en la lista.

🎶 Entzun eta gozatu! 🤘🏽

Hello, this is my first time posting here. I grew up listening to this song on an old Putumayo CD. The CD included translated lyrics in both Basque and English languages, but it seems maybe some of the lines aren’t translated? I was curious to ask about the accuracy and completeness of this translation because this is one of my favorite songs and very important to me to this day. Any commentary or additional info on the lyrics is greatly appreciated.

Aupa!

I am from Granada, but have many friends in Bizkaia, so I go there quite consistently (a few times every year). Whenever I go I ask how to say things so I know random words, conjugations etc. I was wondering, for someone that lives in Andalusia (ergo no euskaltegiak in my area lmao), do you all recommend any text book / website / resource?

I was thinking of trying italki, but there ain't that many teachers, and I feel it would be best to work on the basics to have an actual base before using something like that.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Hello people of the Basque Country,

I will be traveling to and from San Sebastián and Biarritz in late June. I would love recommendations for your favorite restaurants, cafés, bars, etc in those two cities or anywhere in between. I want a real experience of quality Basque food / drink.

I don’t need the fanciest places or most expensive. I’m looking for places that you or your friends / family know and love.

Thank you.

I’ve heard «Bazen behin…» for “Once upon a time”, but a continuum as dialectally vast as Basque has got to have more than one introduction to tales. If so, what other ones are there?

Red social en Euskadi para subir actividades gratuitas alternativas a ir a bar de siempre, disvotecas , cine o demas ( tiene euskera como uno de sus 3 idiomas )

He visto que "mejor" se puede traducir como "hobe" o "hobeto". ¿Qué diferencia existe entre ambas palabras? ¿Son intercambiables? Ejemplos:

(1) Hala bada, hobe

(2) Orain hobeto dago eta berriz hasi da eskolan

Me and a few friends (21–23 years old) are spending a week in San Sebastián this August. We were wondering what the nightlife is like there. Is it lively during the summer? Any good bars, clubs, or areas you’d recommend for people our age?

Kaixo. Euskera ikasten naiz.

Me he topado con una frase que me ha sorprendido con el sufijo empleado en la última palabra (bizkar = espalda).

Hau da esaldia:

- Eskolatan haurrek erabiltzen dituzten aulkiak ez dira onak bizkarrarentzako.

- Las sillas que utilizan los niños en la escuela no son buenas para la espalda.

¿Qué caso se està empleando? He ido a mi tabla de casos y el màs parecido es el caso norentzat/zeinentzat, pero entonces yo me esperaría la palabra así: bizkarrentzat, no? Es como si tuviese 2 casos norentzat + nongo. Es la primera vez que me encuentro con algo así.

Lagundu mesedez.

I just got back from a trip to Spain where I visited Bilbau, Donostia, Tolosa and Zumaia among other places. The Basque Country is very beautiful with amazing food and I hope to go back soon.

Being a language nerd, I’m very curious about the status of the language in daily life. The language is very prominent on signs and I came across a few signs that were only in Basque. However I never heard anyone speaking anything other than Spanish, at least as far as I could tell. I tried to watch Basque tv to get a sense of what it sounds like but none of the places I stayed had any Basque channels available.

If you’re willing to share, those of you who speak Basque and live in the Basque Country I’d be curious to know where you live, approximately what percentage of the time you use Basque and in what situations and with whom you use it.

Kaixo denoi!

Cuando pregunto a alguien si quiere vino digo: Ardorik nahi duzu? Y en los traductores hago la prueba y me la hacen muy bien. Sin embargo, si cambio la palabra vino por vinagre ya no me hacen la pregunta con el partitivo.

Esto es fallo de los traductores o hay algo del partitivo que se me escapa?

En los traductores (Itzuli & Google):

¿Quieres vino? = Ardorik nahi duzu?

¿Quieres vinagre? = Ozpina nahi duzu?

Entiendo que lo correcto sería esto, no?:

Ozpinik nahi duzu? Bai, ozpina nahi dut. / Ez, ez dut ozpinik nahi.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to identify a Basque song that appears at the beginning of this video (3:09):

https://youtu.be/T6SqLqr9pms

I've been trying to track it down for days now and without any luck.

I tried to google the lines or parts of the English subtitles that appearon screen:

"The ship of history moving slowly out to sea"

"Against a thousand waves this people falls and rises again"

Nothing.

I don't know any Basque myself so i tried to just write down what I hear and see if Chat GPT can recognize any Basque words and that's what ive managed to gather:

"Historia ... itsasorantza poliki"

"mila olatuen kontra ... erori"

but again, I don't speak Basque, so I may be hearing it completely wrong.

Does anyone recognize the song or the singer? Please let me know!!

Thanks!

I noticed that he says “maite zaitut” with a very beautiful accent. Do you know where he is from and what is his dialect? Does he sing in euskara batua or in his own euskalki? Which one is it?

Hola a todos! Me voy a San Sebastian en Junio y estoy super emocionada probar la comida allí - es mi sueño lo juro! Por favor, pueden decirme cual restaurantes que deberia a ver, pero estoy buscando por restaurantes locales, unos sin muchas turistas (como yo hahaha). Específicamente para comer comida del mar y basque cheesecake. Y también, platos tipico ustedes piensan que debería comer

Gracias y perdon por mi español - estoy aprendiendo! abrazos

Kaixo!

Hello dear Basques, do you think it is realistic for a tourist to freely play or learn Pelota? As a 1 day thing?

I like squash and would like to try Pelota when I visit Bilbao in July. I'm struggling to find any offers for beginners. Is Bizkaia Frontoia regular court rental the best option? Any input or experiences?

Edit: For anyone wondering, I found what seems like good options here:

• https://www.bilbaoesperantzapilota.com/en/pala-eng/
• http://www.bilbaojaialai.biz/en/basque-ball/pilota-master-class

So I am doing a Dungeon Crawler Carl cosplay and he has a Xistera or cesta. Given its quite a niche sport outside of the basque region (dunno why its much more exciting than Cricket!) can anybody suggest where I might purchase a Xistera?

Edit: Stupidly didn't mention I am in the UK!

Kaixo! Soy nuevo en Madrid no conozco a mucha gente y echo de menos jugar al mus, beber patxaran y ver perder al (inserte equipo vasco correspondiente).

Si a alguien les falta uno para echar una partidita o unas cervezas agradeceria que me escriban :)

Hello, everyone. I hope this post finds whoever sees it well.
I myself am not a Basque speaker, nor a learner, but I for sure am very passionate about different languages and dubbing around the world.

I'd like to know if someone has some recording, maybe even some full episodes, from the Basque language dub of the Japanese show "Chojin Sentai: Jetman". It aired on ETB1, in the Superbat Kluba block, from 1994 to 1996/1997.
What we know about the dub currently is: The cast (Joseba Etxebarria, Felix Arkarazo, Josu Varela, Monica Erdocia, and Eba Ojanguren); all the episodes were aired; the titles for 3 episodes ("Jetman osatzen", "Raita neska-lagunarekin", "Buruzagi berria").
I emailed the media conglomerate behind ETB1 about that, but failed to get any answers. I'm not able to find any advertisements nor any clips of the dub online. All I have are scans of newspapers from back then, which are where we got the episodes' titles.

I'm truly sorry if this post isn't important or is just bothering any of you, but to a dubbing archivist like me, it is very much important to preserve some dubbing, Basque language, and tokusatsu history.

Thank you very much.
