In the late 90s I remember driving from Barcelona to a hotel my wife had reserved on playa de la concha in Donostia, and somewhere along the route there was this huge hand painted sign in English: "Remember Friend, you are not in Spain anymore" Stopped at the next petrol station. There were Eurskara dictionaries or phrase books to be had, and the guy running the place, sensing our disappointment and desire to "do the right thing", closed his little shop and spent the better part of an hour giving us an impromptu lesson, scribbling things down on bits of paper. Zein gizon zoragarria!
My family is from Spain, and paternal great grandfather was basque, and my grandmother always told me that Euskara is an interesting and beautiful language, right now I am willing to learn it as part of my family's heritage.
I am much the same Santiago, Euskara was spoken by my grand mother and great grandfather, but I think he must have run into someone who moved his thinking on teaching us :( So trying to learn now and my kids are very interested.
I have a story with the word "bai". My mum isn't basque as my dad is, but she knew some words that leart from my dad, one of those words is that one "bai", of course, as it's the first you learn. Well, in 2001 I used to be living in Ireland and had an Irish boyfriend. Once a year the hotel I was working at used to close its doors for Christmas time and then I would go back to Spain, well the Basque country ;). During Christmas, I could speak to my boyfriend on the phone, but this day I did not pick up the phone, but my mum instead. And my boyfriend asked for me. My mum cannot speak a word of English and she was trying to make herself be understood, and for some reason, she thought that speaking in basque my Irish boyfriend could understand her better 🙄... So she said: "Oh, Izaskun, bai, bai, etxean dago, bai, bai, bai!"... So my boyfriend all he could understand was: "bye, bye, bye, bye!" So he hung down the phone!! 😂😂 And my mum came to my room and told me: "I don't understand, he hung me down!" Hehehehe!! That was so funny!...
" AncestryDNA " Interesting. I have to do this One. I am sure I must have some Basque heritage. I think Basque Euskara Batua Language is important to learn.
Hi Anne Marie, Good job! Here is another expression that was sent to me by an acquaintance of mine in Gipuzkoa, “ondo izan”. It means, “be well”. It’s friendly way to end an email.
I recently learned that I am 72% European, and 7% of that is Basque. That really fascinates me and it’s really enjoyable learning new words from the language. 🙂
My great grandparents were both Basque and immigrated to the US, so I'm trying to learn more about the cultural heritage. The language is so beautiful. Eskerrik asko!
Hola vivo en el país vasco hace unos años y estoy aprendiendo euskera, soy de Costa Rica y tengo un cierto nivel medio alto de inglés así que tu canal me viene fenomenal para practicar los dos, mila esker!
I an from Azerbaijan (in Caucasus) and we speak a Turkic language very similar to Turkish. All these basic basque words have similarities with my language, just little changes and similarities with some synonyms we dont normally use. I guess, scholars never thought to compare Basque with Turkic languages! Add to that Caucasian languages (Georgian, Chechen) and you will get full picture where Basque originates from )) by the way grammar for Turkic, Caucasian and Basque languages (also Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian) is the same type: ‘agglutinative’ versus ‘flexive’ of Indo-European languages ))
YOU HAVE SUCH INFERIOR PROBLEMS WITH YOUR SELFS AND THIS IS THE MAIN REASON YOU SEE TURKS,ALTAYANS AND TURANS EVERY WHERE WHITH OUT REALLY ΕΧΙSTING. GO LEARN THE TRUTH AND THRΕW ΑWAY THE PANTURANISTIC GRABAGES THAT ALL OF TODAY'S ΤURKS ΑRE NURTURED. AZERI PEOPLE ARE TURKIFΙΕD IN LANGUAGE,ETHNIC IDENTITY AND CONSCIOUSNESS.

went to Euskal Herria for the first time when I was on tour with my punk band (hardcore punk is very popular there) and was fascinated by the language. I then attempted to learn Euskera for many years. While I did make some progress, I am still unable to have a conversation in the language. Euskera hizkuntza oso ondo da, baina oso zaila ere bai.
As an American of French Basque descent, I really appreciate that you break up the phrases used in the Spanish Basque Country vs. the French Basque Country. It's not easy to find the regional vocabularies since most places just default to using the vocabulary of the big cities.
I'm glad it was helpful. Yes, it's hard learning Euskara because you usually just get 1 option for learning these greetings, but once you get to the Basque Country people might use totally different expressions!
I'm really glad that I found this channel because since I've learned that my last name comes from the basque language I became very curious about it and also about the basque people/culture.
Thank you…very well done & an excellent resource. While recently in Donostia-San Sebastián we did use various Basque words we’d picked up & it really helped!
I love your video!!! It warmed my heart. I have been many times to the Basque Country both on the French and Spanish sides (On the French side, I always go to Sare) and on the Spanish side pretty much everywhere. I have done Camino a few times back and forth but never left the Basque Country. I absolutely adore the culture, the weather, the way people interact with one another, what people eat and how they treat others (AND the language of course). Interestingly, they are very proud of their identity, which I respect a lot, because I'm also originally from a different French minority. When they found out that I was neither a pure French or Spanish, they were instantly so much more hospitable. On the Spanish side, they can also speak English, especially the young ones and it's just English but super good English. I'm in love with the Basque people - my favourite part of Europe. However, as a lecturer of the English language, teaching in the top UK unis most of my life, I applied for many teaching jobs in the Basque country and I was always rejected. Apparently, that's because they don't want a foreigner to stay for too long. I was sad because how else can I learn the language if I don't live there for 2 to 3 years, and whats's the point if I don't live there to use it. It just sounds so nice.
Just reading your comment, and that you go to Sare. My great grandfather was from this small town and hopefully some day i will go there. I love Anne-marie's TH-cam because she is just so joyful articulate and passionate about the Basque people. I am reading the Basque History of the World for the 2nd time as a primer for visiting that part of the world. 1st i will need to learn some of the basic language terms. Eskerrik Asko - thank you. Jean-Paul (Baccardax) my mom's maiden name from Sare.
This is so cool to listen to. I love languages and I really enjoy learning them. I've always been fascinated by Euskara because of it's independence. I'd love to learn it.
I'm glad that I finally took the time to learn about Basque because for a longtime I was very interested in the Country and the Language/Dialect or Languages/Dialects but now today I finally decided to do so and I do has also found Basque in my Ancestry DNA Results and so I think that I should really learn about Basque and I am also currently learning French and also I am American.
Loved the tutorial. Never had a chance to learn Euskara, although my Dad was Basque. Thanks for the start. Going to the Annual Basque Festival in Elko, Nevada, USA, today so hope to use some phrases there! More of contemporary Basque every day phrases appreciated, like for going out and about shopping, etc. Eskerrik Asko!
This video is so nice, thanks a lot!! I went to the Basque country with my parents when I was a baby/toddler and they learned the language in a barnetegi in Urepele. My parents divorced but when my sister and I were teens, my dad decided to visit the basque country every year for aberri eguna. My sister and I made friends there so we also visited in the summer and after that I decided I wanted to learn Basque as well and so in summer 2018 I went to Urepele as well and I had (looking back especially) the coolest 4 weeks of my life. During the weekends I had free time so friends would pick me up or I would go to one of my dad's friends, and after the ikastaldi I took 3 good friends with me to Belgium and they visited for another week. As someone from Belgium I loved how spontaneous the Basque people are, and more relaxed with the rythm of the day. I met lots of people and kept some very good friends, if covid is finally over I really want to go back. After the 4 week ikastaldi I only went back for aberri eguna in 2019 but since then it hasn't been possible anymore.
I taught multiple languages, and I am very impressed with your educational finesse!!! I love that you speak slowly and repeat the vocabulary words. You're an amazing educator!!!!
I'm from Guatemala 🇬🇹, i have Spanish ascendence , specifickly, from the Vasque Country, my last name is Sagastume, this means in Vasque, Manzanar Estrecho and i'm proud of my Spanish roots. Nice video . Agur 🇪🇦.
I found out a few years ago that my grandmother's surname is Garai and that her parents are from Basque. Most of my life I never knew her actual history. Thank you for this video! I hope to visit one day.
My husband and I are planning a trip to the Basque area of Spain next year from Australia and I love learning common phrases before we travel to different countries .... I will be practising these thank you ...... any other hints that would be helpful to this trip ... we are both in our 70's and adventurous still but not as energetic as when young 😁
I love this video!! Just recently learning my ancestors are Basque Uscanga. People always wonder why my last name is so odd. But both my grandparents are cousins and married had 8 children my father was the last child and recently passed away so finding easy videos to learn a whole new language my relatives spoke at one point is beautiful
Love this channel. My Mom's father was from a village called Banca in France. I always knew I was Basque but many people in the US have never heard of them. Keep up the good work. John Iriart
Thank you very much. This was really useful. I made so many new friends by using these simple phrases in the local bars in Donastia and a tour guide even took me for a local with the words. Esskerik asko
I just found out I have Basque DNA from doing ancestry and i literally had no idea about Basque people and culture. I have been reading and wow so cool.
A few synonymes in Iparralde (and maybe other places) : Gabon -> Gau on Mesedez -> Otoi Eskerrik asko -> Milesker You did a great video 😁 on instagram, I everytime put the pronunciation with words to help people who learn (lesmotsbasque / euskalhitzak) but google voice does not exist in euskera 😂😂 so I record with French & Spanish voices & I get by... really challenging 🤣
Thanks for adding! Those are the words I actually use more often, but I figured most of the people finding this video through search would be visiting major cities in Hegoalde, where these other expressions are more commonly used.
I imagine people will be freaking out! Hahahaha! Thanks for sharing! I'm a teacher of elementary school children and we call the ones you teach the magic words. Nice to meet you 😀😀
Your video was great..you spoke slowly..repeated the words and also gave some trivia..I would like to see you put out a video which puts some commonly said Phrases like..How are you..or How are you feeling.. where is a Hotel..where is a bank..How can I get to the train..bus..station or How can I get to the Airport..What time is it..The Food was very good.. These phrases may also be helpful for those traveling..
Yes it's true. It keep the bloodline mostly pure bc to have a viable pregnancy the baby must also have Rh negative or in my case B negative. I lost several pregnancies due to this. Until I had my daughter who did have B positive blood type. I needed medical intervention, and take a shot my entire pregnancy to prevent my blood cells from attacking my daughter's like a foreign virus. Thank God it worked 💜
@@AllIKnowIsPainAllSorrowme as well. Lost my first because I didn't know. But had 3 babies after with the shot. They all are A+ like their dad. Knowing what I know now I understand why the bloodtypes shouldn't mix. It just made a lot make sense especially as my kids age.
Apparently my family name is Basque. All my life I was proud of my supposed Spanish heritage. Don't get me wrong, I still feel obliged to. But I want to learn all I can about the Basque people and where they came from.
Hey RH, many Basque have these stunning eyes, do they seem like yours as well? I have been told this many times back when I was a single man. Thank you for being so negative.(LOL) I thought I was the only one left besides Hella.
I’ve heard a handful of Romanians and Hungarians say it sounded similar to their languages, but similar in how Greek sounds similar to Spanish, but having little to no similar meanings except for a handful of loan-words carried over during the height of the Roman Empire and later through Byzantium.
I just found out that my name is a Basque origin. My great grandfather was from Spain originally (my paternal last name as well). I see this language is beautiful. I'll learn some words 🤗
@@eneko4098 Mila esker! Oso hizkuntza polita eta interesgarria daukazue baina zaila ere bai. Egunero gauza berri bat behintzat ikasten saiatzen dut. Beharbada noizbait euskara hitzegin ahal izango dut. Kaixo Greziatik!
Could you do a video on the song Agur Jaunak. I would love to know the correct pronunciation of the words. I love the Kelly Family version. Agur, jaunak, jaunak, agur, agur t´erdi. Danak Jainkoak eiñak gire zuek eta bai gu ere. Agur, jaunak, jaunak, agur, hemen gire.
Amazing, thank you for this!! I learned Agur from my Spanish Basque friends, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't really working in Lapurdi. I kept hearing what sounded like A-O and couldn't figure out what was being said.
Hello Maria. Name drop: I work with Joe Goyaneche. Love your videos. I am thinking about becoming a member of the cultural center. Joe is president he keeps prodding me. I live in Alameda. It would b e an honor to meet you, my daughter is learning languages she finds the Basque language challenging.
Hain bideo interesgarria, beti entzun izan ditut lagunak euskaraz hitz egiten Espainian nagoenean. Haien hizkuntza ikasten ari naiz orain, eskerrik asko bideo edukiagatik. Brasilgoa naiz, Ezin dut euskaraz oso ondo idatzi oraindik

Hey RH, many Basque have these stunning eyes, do they seem like yours as well? I have been told this many times back when I was a single man. Thank you for being so negative.(LOL) I thought I was the only one left besides Hella.
So helpful. Thank you!!
2:37 Adio is slang Spanish, too.
Wonderful, thank you so much!
I’ve heard a handful of Romanians and Hungarians say it sounded similar to their languages, but similar in how Greek sounds similar to Spanish, but having little to no similar meanings except for a handful of loan-words carried over during the height of the Roman Empire and later through Byzantium.
Really great video from a new subscriber in England.❤️x
You are awesome girl! Keep posting!!!!
Thank you
Nice! Hello from New York
I didn’t know but my son advised me that I have a great deal of my DNA from this language or country . Incredible
I just found out that my name is a Basque origin. My great grandfather was from Spain originally (my paternal last name as well). I see this language is beautiful. I'll learn some words 🤗
Eskerrik asko! Euskara gustatzen zait. Euskara ikasten ari naiz baina ez da erraz.
I feel you! Same here :)
Nice to hear that! Keep going! Zorte on lagun
@@eneko4098 Mila esker! Oso hizkuntza polita eta interesgarria daukazue baina zaila ere bai. Egunero gauza berri bat behintzat ikasten saiatzen dut. Beharbada noizbait euskara hitzegin ahal izango dut. Kaixo Greziatik!
💖💖💖
Can't love this enough. 💗
Aww I'm so glad
on = good
ongi = well
You got it right!
Could you do a video on the song Agur Jaunak. I would love to know the correct pronunciation of the words. I love the Kelly Family version.
Agur, jaunak,
jaunak, agur,
agur t´erdi.
Danak Jainkoak eiñak gire
zuek eta bai gu ere.
Agur, jaunak,
jaunak, agur,
hemen gire.
"eskerrik asko" has me so tongue tied hahaha I need to practice that
Amazing, thank you for this!! I learned Agur from my Spanish Basque friends, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't really working in Lapurdi. I kept hearing what sounded like A-O and couldn't figure out what was being said.
What do the Basque say after someone sneezes? Sound like the set-up to a joke, but I'm actually asking!
Thanks!
Hello Maria. Name drop: I work with Joe Goyaneche. Love your videos. I am thinking about becoming a member of the cultural center. Joe is president he keeps prodding me. I live in Alameda. It would b e an honor to meet you, my daughter is learning languages she finds the Basque language challenging.
Marie I meant
I think its crazy how Basque is a European language that has no outside language influence.
On egin wow kaon igi!
A scary Costco! ESKERRIK ASKO! :-)

Good gracious, that is nothing like any language I know! I guess it will be hard to learn how to pick up girls 🙂
Cute! Thank you. M.
Amé este canal!

So nice of you :)
I just found you. My dna just showed basque and I would so love to learn but unsure if my family knows basque language
Hain bideo interesgarria, beti entzun izan ditut lagunak euskaraz hitz egiten Espainian nagoenean. Haien hizkuntza ikasten ari naiz orain, eskerrik asko bideo edukiagatik.
Brasilgoa naiz, Ezin dut euskaraz oso ondo idatzi oraindik
Fantastic! Eskerrik asko 💗🙏🌼
Muy bueno!!!
