I love relations between other languages! Even if they happen to be minor, strange coincidences occur or long-forgotten borrowings have been interchanged, and it’s really quite a nice mystery. Thank you for this little bit of comparison! 😊

@@conversationclasses The letter C doesn’t exist in Basque except in loan words, so it’s safe to safe if that loan word is from Castilian, they will probably pronounce it that way. Z is a little different. Some may pronounce Z kind of like in Castilian, but the majority pronounce it like S, not “th”. Hope this helps!
I love your channel. I'm a polyglot but I would appreciate it if you would slow down a bit for beginners. Then speed it up as Basque learners have obtained a certain level of mastery. No offense intended but I taught several foreign languages...
@@basqueberserk That would be awesome!!! I really want to learn this incredible language because most of my ancestry comes from Spain. Thank you for replying to my comment. I really appreciate you and your content.
@@ikerj0908 Nobody here claimed they were related (although some people do since both groups have the most similar DNA, apparently, [if I remember correctly] but I don’t hold with that language theory, so I get your frustration.)

Oh but basque or euskera language is so esasy, i don't know why many people sat it's so difficult for the only reason of being so different to other languages.
Once you get the logic of it, it’s definitely not such a hard language! I think for me the hardest things are (still) word order and the multitude of auxiliary forms. Also I understand that the case system is tricky if you are not used to that sort of thing. It’s definitely a different way of expression and some people find it daunting. 😌
When it's alone, generally yes, though I have heard one occasion when a native pronounced it like a Z, but maybe that was an outlier. When there are two Z's, they often like to pronounce it like "tz", like "ez zara" sounds a lot like "etzara". And sometimes, in the word "ez", they drop the Z before another word that starts with N or L, like "ez naiz" sounds like "ehnaiz". But that doesn't always happens. Some speakers pronounce 'tz' more like the 'ts' or 'tx'. So to answer your question, Z isn't always pronounced like S, but alone, yes.
@@basqueberserk in textbooks audios (slow talking) it is sometimes not shortened/changed, in songs and normal speed talking (FAST) the shortening/changing is the normal. I like examples: e(z) naiz hemengoa: I am not from here.

Muy bueno. Tengo herencia Euskara y me interesa mucho este idioma muy unico. Gracias.
Ez horregatik, de nada! Thank you for your comment! 🤘☺

my mom would speak Basque when we were young. When I finally was interested she barely remembered.
@@krismartinez650 that’s so sad! Your mom came from the Basque Country, or maybe her parents?
No mention of "Pintxo bat" or "sagardoa"?!
Haha! I will have to do a special video for those! 😊
Do you pronounce ce, ci and z as th like in Castellano?

Yes, this is something I want to improve on! This was an earlier video, so I was just nervous. 😊 Maybe I will remake this one and slow it down!

Haha nice word play!
I think Basque is a mysterious culture or ethnicity. And thats coming from a Siciliano.
Basque and Sicilian are both definitely unique and awesome.
Basque language has nothing to do with Sicilian. Basque is a pre indo-european language mixed with Celtic and Goth languages.
Stai Zitto! Who said it has anything to do with Basque. It was a joke.@@ikerj0908

It would be helpful if you repeated each phrase at least 3 times to give the viewer time to practice.

Seria legal um nativo ensinar.
@@zizanetecordeiro1330 tem razão. Most of the natives teach only in Spanish, but hopefully a native will make some videos in English for us one day!🤞
So then Z is pronounced like an S always?
