An dóigh a dtomhaiseann siad "éagoitiantacht" na dteangthach, níl mé cinnte go bhfuil sí go maith. Cé a déarfadh go bhfuil an Béarla níos aistí ná 'n Bhascais?
Réimnithear briathra na Bascaise do réir an ainmní, do réir an chuspóra dhírigh, do réir an chuspóra neamhdhírigh (=tuiseal tabharthach) agus i gcanúintí áiríd, do réir ghnéas an duine a bhfuil tú 'labhairt leis (agus do réir na haithne atá agad air). Agus ceanglann tú na cónaisc i ndeireadh 'n bhriathair chéarna.


Sompla:

emaiten ditzoñadanean
= when I give them to him (talking to a woman you know well)

emaiten is the imperfective verbal noun of "to give", and ditzoñadanean means "when I... them to him - talking to a woman you know well".

di- is the root of the auxiliary
-tz- is "them"
-o- is "to him"
-ña- implies "I say this to you, who are a woman I know well"
-da- means "I" (subject)
-nean means "when".

If this is not weirder than English... :darklaugh:
