Aw thanks so much!! Can’t stop, won’t stop 💪

The "thumb nail" with you in a red cape and hooding finally ended at the end of the video in my hearing "thanks for wItching" ;-) Non dago sorgin erratza? (where is the witch broom?) ;-) To avoid misunderstandings: Sorginak are hold in high value in EH, thus approach them politly! - My confusions with NOR NORI NORK, I hope it clarifies, if not, BARKATU. My 1st confusion with NOR NORI NORK,: My 1st Basque teacher (before corona) was thinking I could learn Basque in one semester. She wrote NOR NORI NORK on the blackboard and below a sentence, which had (of course) the Ergative form ending -k at the beginning, So I would have expected NORK NORI NOR. The 2nd was I did not know then that the Absolutive rules the Nominative AND the Akkusativ (same forms), and that the NOR here relates to Akkusativ. The 3rd , better call it a challenge, some verbs request different cases, in different languages. - My memnonic tricks (not grammatically correct but working for me) di (double in greek) "announes" two things: a Direct and an Indirect object. zki (plural marker) , in the old days before the mono ski was invented, there had to be always two=Plural of them. - Motivation: if you use NOR NORI NORK in E(uskal) H(erria); the locals will be very astonished and might say in English: Oh, you know NORI NORK, appreciating you are digging deeper into the language than a normal tourist would do. You will be a heroine or a hero!

Aratsalde on, Shanna! What would your thoughts be on the meotodo naturale as espoused by Krashen and his ilk?

Haha you make him sound so evil 😂 I like comprehensible input! But I also really like to study grammar (I’m in the minority camp there). I think both outright grammar studying and comprehensible input have their places in language learning but I wouldn’t suggest one over the other %100. Mostly people have to play around with language and find out what works for them. I wish I could put out some CI videos but that’s not really my place as a non-fluent non-native Basque learner. ☺️ And what do you think about CI?

Well yes, I take your point. I think with any Romance language a comprehensible input approach, for an English speaker, would work; it would seem, however, that with Euskara which has a rather different grammatical structure and vocabulary to most known languages that to approach it from a grammitacal angle would be the more sensible option. I try to listen to Irratia Euskadi every day; when one of the five words I understand are spoken I do a mini Mexican wave by myself as the norepinephrine courses through my neural network! When Albie from Italaiiano Automatico delivers a monologue on one of his videos I can, generally speaking, comprehend 80 - 90% of what he's saying. I'm not entirely sure that Krashen isn't Beelzebub incarnate, although don't quote me on that!!!*@? @@basqueberserk

dio is not always dio: Jon dio ez dela etorriko. John says he won't (will not) come.

That's true! And of course these forms are not of the same origin; dio meaning "he says" is its own independent synthetic verb form and not an auxiliary, so you won't find it hinged to a main verb. 😊

Kaixo Mikel, galdera bat. Is there also a form dat in Basque, wherever?. Now we have det (Gip.) , dit, dot (Biz.) , and dut. Basque is so easy, we need more challenges, DO WE???? ;-)
