Loves your video. I've just got my inheritance results and I am 3% Basque. I'll definitely learn the language. Thanks for your this!

[@basqueberserk]

So cool that you have Basque heritage! Keep learning, it is a difficult path but I hope you will find it is worth it! ☺️

[@DNS-FRANK09]

I love your videos ❤😊

[@basqueberserk]

Aw thank you! You’re very kind! 🤗

What an interesting channel but I`ve noticed that some words are extremely close to arabic eskerrik is similar to Ashkuruk meaning (I) thank you أشكرك pozten: bast meaning happiness بسط arte: araa meaning (I) see أرى, or araitu أريت bihar: bukrah meaning tommorow بكرة izena: ism meaning noun اسم there are many other similarities, I guess this hints at some forgotten history in relation between the Arabs of Andalus and this region, I hope that you can make a video about other similarities

[@basqueberserk]

I love relations between other languages! Even if they happen to be minor, strange coincidences occur or long-forgotten borrowings have been interchanged, and it’s really quite a nice mystery. Thank you for this little bit of comparison! 😊

Egin duzun konparaketa ederra, zorionak. Batzuek aipatzen dute nondik datorren euskara, baina esaten dutena ez da zuzena. Gaur egun oraindik ez dakigu nondik datorren. Dakigun gauza bakara zera da, europako hizkuntzarik zaharrena dela. Izan ongi

[@BongDonky]

I think Basque is a mysterious culture or ethnicity. And thats coming from a Siciliano.

[@basqueberserk]

Basque and Sicilian are both definitely unique and awesome.

[@melgaard45]

Basque language has nothing to do with Sicilian. Basque is a pre indo-european language mixed with Celtic and Goth languages.

[@BongDonky]

Stai Zitto! Who said it has anything to do with Basque. It was a joke.@@melgaard45

[@basqueberserk]

@@melgaard45 Nobody here claimed they were related (although some people do since both groups have the most similar DNA, apparently, [if I remember correctly] but I don’t hold with that language theory, so I get your frustration.) But they are still both unique and definitely underrated, in my opinion 😊

[@susanbryson753]

I love your channel. I'm a polyglot but I would appreciate it if you would slow down a bit for beginners. Then speed it up as Basque learners have obtained a certain level of mastery. No offense intended but I taught several foreign languages...

[@basqueberserk]

Yes, this is something I want to improve on! This was an earlier video, so I was just nervous. 😊 Maybe I will remake this one and slow it down!

[@francismichaelcedenoreyes4168]

Oh but basque or euskera language is so esasy, i don't know why many people sat it's so difficult for the only reason of being so different to other languages.

[@basqueberserk]

Once you get the logic of it, it’s definitely not such a hard language! I think for me the hardest things are (still) word order and the multitude of auxiliary forms. Also I understand that the case system is tricky if you are not used to that sort of thing. It’s definitely a different way of expression and some people find it daunting. 😌

[@shellyironside]

It would be helpful if you repeated each phrase at least 3 times to give the viewer time to practice.

[@basqueberserk]

I definitely should have, didn’t even think about it at the time of filming! Next time though ☺️

[@Cobe1976]

So then Z is pronounced like an S always?

[@basqueberserk]

When it's alone, generally yes, though I have heard one occasion when a native pronounced it like a Z, but maybe that was an outlier. When there are two Z's, they often like to pronounce it like "tz", like "ez zara" sounds a lot like "etzara". And sometimes, in the word "ez", they drop the Z before another word that starts with N or L, like "ez naiz" sounds like "ehnaiz". But that doesn't always happens. Some speakers pronounce 'tz' more like the 'ts' or 'tx'. So to answer your question, Z isn't always pronounced like S, but alone, yes.

@@basqueberserk in textbooks audios (slow talking) it is sometimes not shortened/changed, in songs and normal speed talking (FAST) the shortening/changing is the normal. I like examples: e(z) naiz hemengoa: I am not from here. I dare say after digging into this language on my own for some years, all these little side notes/comments of our "language fairy" are so much of the Basque language core and ultra helpful. Milesker!.
