Desalojo Gaztetxe Durango alternativas y soluciones

He visto que han desalojado el Gatetxe de Durango. No encuentro ningún lugar la razones de este desalojo, alguien sabe por qué ha sido?

Ahora, tengo una duda. El alquiler de un hangar pr por un grupo de jóvenes y considerarlo Gaztetxe es legal? En ese caso, también el Ayuntamiento estaría en contra?

Euskaraz mintzatu nahi dut

Aupa,

Bigarren urte euskarako ikasle naiz eta euskaraz mintzatu gehiago nahi dut. Orain, idazten dut hiztegia edo Google Translate gabe, barkatu - badakit nire euskara ez dela perfekuta.

Euskaraz mintzatzen ez da oso komplikatua baina egunero piska bat ikasten behar dut eta nire lagunak ez dira euskaldun.

Ni ez naiz Euskaldun, Frantsiakoa naiz, Juran sortu nintzen baina ipar Euskal Herrian bizi naiz duela zazpi urte.

Miarritzeko AEK Gau Eskolan euskara ikasten dut duela urte bat. Urriaren, bigarren urtea hasi nintzen. Nire irakaslea gipuzokara da, eta hamar ikasleak gara. Ikasle bateak Euskal Herrian sortu ziren baina ez dira euskaraz mintzatzen, eta ikasle bateak Frantsiakoak dira. Ostirala goizekoero, hiru ordu klase egin gara (ostirala goizekoan nik ez dut lan egiten). Nire klase ez da "gau" eskola baina goizeko eskola.

Egunero, Anki Appekin hitzak ikasten dut. Nire ametz euskara perfektu mintzatzen da.

Euskal Herrian, nire txakurekin mendian korrika egin guztatzen zait eta 50+ tontorrak ibili genuen! Pasaden asteburuan, mendiako jatetxe batera etorri nintzen eta serbitzariarekin euskaraz mintzatu nuen, oso kontent nuen.

Reddit-en zaretekin piska bat euskaraz mintzatzen posible da? Pasaden urtean berdin Reddit post bat egin nintzen baina orain hobe mintzatzen dut.

Heskerrik asko

Basque Music recommendations?

Hi, I'm interested in the Basque language and culture and was looking for some Basque music, but all the music I can find is like Early 2000s Rock and a bit of Rap Music which, don't get me wrong, honestly sounds awesome and I love it, but I was wondering if there was any other popular genres of music in Basque like maybe RnB, Reggae, Afrobeat or Trap etc.

Best pelota experience

Kaixo!

Where to go to experience pelota in its best form? Is Astelena fronton the best because it’s the oldest? Do they still play games there? Or maybe Bizkaia, since it’s the biggest? When it’s best to visit to attend the best games? Is there any pelota museum to get to know some history or maybe small town competition to watch?

I’d appreciate any help, I want to learn more about the sport and experience it firsthand (pun not intended) next year coming back to Euskadi after many years.

Anglicized Surname or 2 Different Origins?

My last name is Corta; however, it seems as though it is an anglicized version of the surname Korta. This lines up, as my grandfather fled the Basque Country during the civil war and very well could have changed his name. I suspect this is the case, but I still am curious as to whether I am correct. Additionally, I want to better understand the origins of the surname Korta. Thanks, everyone :)!

How common is the last name Inzunza?

I have never met another Inzunza in my life that isn’t related to me so I was wondering if it’s common in the Basque Country?

Izan verb

So I just barely started learning and I’m confused about how the second part always has an article

You are my son -> Zu nire semeA zara

I’m so confused, does it always has that? Like “Lagunak gara” could be “We’re friends” or “We’re the friends”?

Euskalki ezberdinak

Hari hau ondorengo elkarrizketa nork bere euskalkira itzultzeko erabili nahiko nuke, ahalik eta itxien idatzita, hitz egiten den moduan. Horrela, pare bat esaldi zenbat alda daitezken ikus dezakegu.

This thread aims translating the following conversation to different local dialects (writen as how they are pronounced) so we can appreciate how much this language can change.

(Bi agure getariarren arteko elkarrizketa entzun nuen atzo iluntzean / Conversation between two elders that I listened to yesterday)

Getariar euskara:

A: Hi elai ba trampatiya izango?

B: Hoi hi izangolai! Aurrekon karteta jokatu giztinen akordatze nauk gu danok ze esan giztin.

Euskara batuan:

A: Hi ez ote haiz ba iruzurtia izango?

B: Hori hi izango haiz! Aurrekoan kartetan jokatu genuenean gogoratzen nauk gu guztiok zer esan genian.

Online basque classes

Kaixo!

My dad is basque. I grew up in California. I lived in Donosti for a couple of years and began learning Euskera; however, I didn’t continue after returning back to the states. Anyone have recommendations for online classes?

Appreciate any recommendations! Thank you in advance!

Active Basque online speaking community?

Hello everyone, I'm taking basque classes at my university right now and I was wondering if there is an active place online where people chat in Basque. I tried the discord server but it seems really dead. Is there anywhere where people speak basque online?

Thanks!
