Know that modern Basque is spoken by about a half million people in Euskal Herria, a region spanning the Spanish/French border, that encompasses four provinces in Spain and three in France. In Bilbao, because of the citys size and diversity, one mainly hears Spanish. That said, some Basque words and phrases like, Kaixo, Agur, and Eskerrik asko, are more frequently spoken than their Spanish counterparts. But mere miles away in smaller villages, Basque/Euskara is the first language.Top Twenty Basque Words You Should KnowAgur - GoodbyeAita - DadAma - MomArratsalde on - Good afternoonAupa - Howdy/heyBai - YesBai ote? - Really?Barkatu - Excuse meEgun on - Good morningErdera - Any language other than BasqueEskerrik asko - Thank youEuskara - BasqueEz - No Gabon - Good evening/Good nightGeldi! - StopHementxe! - Over / right here!Kaixo - HelloLasai - Take it easyMesedez - PleaseOngi etorri - WelcomeOsaba - UncleTopa! - Cheers!Zorte on! - Good luckConsider investing in your future happiness by reading this dictionary before you travel to the Basque Country.
