A big cultural reference is txoria txori, a famous poem and song about a bird. I have seen Ardi in some names, too

Yes! I get chills whenever I hear that song.

Nice and interesting animal nomes. It's curious to see that some dialect forms have some similarities with Portuguese.

Oh really? I don’t know much about Portuguese but I guess some of the more Latin/Spanish-based ones would be similar?

@@basqueberserk Exactly. The similarity is because of the ties among the Romance languages. Maybe those dialectic variations of Euskara come from a Spanish influence and therefore Portuguese remains next too.

Are all these names Euskara Batua? Looks like there's a lot of variety of names!

Just the ones I actually said are Batua, the written ones under dialectal names are from various dialects, or even just plain Spanish. 😄

Eta kuriositate bat... Saguzar (old mouse) to say "bat" 😃

I love it 😄

In spanish they use asno for donkey. Im guessing it comes from the basque asto

Unfortunately I think Basque borrows asto from Spanish/Indo European, for example, donkey in Latin is “asinus”. In English we also have the word “ass” for donkey but it is not a polite word where I am from. 😅

Assinus comes from old celtic. Celts did borrow it from basque but not sure tbh

@@goikofinanzas hmm that would be interesting! Some sources say from Asia, but who knows, either way, I love when words come around full circle and go through distortions, it’s quite a journey.

Katu bat daukat. And I used google translate so can't trust the accuracy. The dialectal names are very close to Spanish, gato! There are words that have some similarity. That accent though, wow! Doesn't sound Spanish at all.

That's right! Katu bat daukazu, you have one cat. 💪😊 The Basque accent is amazing! My accent is not quite right, but it is definitely not Spanish (I hope). 😉😄
