    Nop,they use calabobos or llovizna for the same word.Xirimiri or txirimiri-both accepted- are basque words only.From now on use euskara/euskera or uskara instead of basque

    Ok but he's yours. That's a big responsibility I don't want to be the one left feeding him and changing him. Remember your rabbit?

    This line is great, good work josu.

    And for the record, I agree with you ;)
    Even bringing in a few words in everyday use would help, "Pass the bainne (milk)" for example.

    Ok, so what's the bit in the title about your surname?
    By the way +1 on the "Josu is a legend" consensus...

    I think he meant it in an anthropological way, not to forget who we are and where we come from (based on his 'We are diluting our Irish ways with english' bit).

    Calling wee josufromgetxo Spanish is like calling a nationalist from Northern Ireland British.

    But that's what they are....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,094 ✭✭✭✭javaboy


    On the whole Basque thingy*, with José being a very common name in Spain, are you called Josu instead of Jose just to be different?


    *Not to trivialise the situation by calling it a 'thingy' :D

    Are you calling me a bunny-boiler...?! :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 josufromgetxo


    Josu is the basque name for jesus,Jose is a spanish name not basque

    what is true is that many names were "invented" in the late XIXth century or rediscovered to the citizens by the nationalism cultural movement
