Day 4 of speaking Basque from zero. Today, we practice asking where someone is from & answering where you are from. Let’s look at the Euskara - Basque: - Nongoa zara? - Nongoa zara zu? - Ni (place)-koa naiz. - Ni (place) -goa naiz. Use -koa for places that end in vowels or consonants. Use -goa for places that end in -L or in -G. Zure txanda - Your turn… In the comments, answer: Nongoa zara? (and as you practice writing, practice saying it out loud, ados? Ok?) ____________________ #SpeakBasque #E

Basque culture & history and the way they resisted an oppresive regime is not talked about nearly enough… The way history can tie so many different things together is endlessly fascinating. Idaho, WW2, Fascism, Pablo Picasso, Chief Joseph, Basque Culture. All of it can be woven into one larger and connected picture. #basque #basquecountry #spain #history #historymatters #historybuff #boise #idaho #boiseidaho #guernica #bayofbiscay #bilbao #nezperce #indigenouspeople | IdaHistory
