Alicia said: “Lots of complexes! With Euskaldunes and Castellanoparlantes. I have often had complexes between the Basques. In quotation marks I am a new Basque (I don’t know what it is to be a new Basque), but it has touched me to talk to the older Euskaldunes or with a lot of people who control in Basque and there has appeared my complex: Because I am from the shores of Euskal Herria and again Basque. I don't have the vocabulary, the level, the melody that others have, but I know I have merit, but sometimes I feel certain complexes or embarrassment. It has been my job to represent in the workplace and to attend meetings with many representatives of the Basque Country, round tables, etc. Then I felt a little embarrassed. I thought: Look at how others talk, how they control! And it was hard for me at first to talk to each other. It's a lot about the Basque level or that's what I believed." It is expensive to receive philosophical comments every time anything is done in Basque publicly. At least exhausting. Because the army is winning the war to clean up the Basque Country by mistake, but we are going to pay it by the neck, because in the Basque country that does not let go it will hardly find mistakes. Furthermore, is it not going to be that we look too much at the correction to hide, with haste, the shortcomings we have elsewhere?
Leire spoke to me in the same way: "I have also had something complex when speaking in the dialects. I've had it and I have it. Because many times they feel more Euskaldunes than I do because they have a "hidden" attitude or because I have internalized it in some way." For vascospeakers without Euskalki it is always the day of the EGA exam: they always wait for a self-appointed examiner, a headphone, a poorly used ergometer and – OUT! as in tennis, which ipso facto extracts the Euskaldunity Certificate of Fitness. Sadly, but inevitably by the Basque people. On the contrary, if you are a vasco-speaker say "other" and, sir, I am no one to enter your Basque status. Defects of origin are forgiveness.
Maitane's answer concludes: "On the one hand, unfortunately many still relate Euskara batua to the Euskaldunberris or to the Basque "orthopedic" (they have literally told me). Our Basque is not proper, it is natural, ours is invented and for many it is not beautiful. On the other hand, the usual thing: to be from here you do it well in Basque, surely you have Gipuzkoan parents. These prejudices create a complex to speak in Basque." Contempt, often masked with humor. To claim for more than two hundred years that we must call not only those who speak in Basque but, more rightly, those who speak in unified Basque assuming all the dialects.
That Euskaldunization has gone from the opposite throat, Ujué: "The Basques are public – viewed, judged, meaningful – and their representation is the result of continuous semiotic negotiation. Despite their diversity, with restraint, style, meaning, the Basques dialogue with the generic Basque (with their history and future) as well as with the real Basques of the environment."
In recent months I have had to work in a number of institutes and, at some point, I have had to talk to the students about the possibilities offered by the labour market. The typology of the students is varied and in the same city varies a lot from one neighborhood to another,... [+]
Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.
The first time I have read or heard it, the title of the... [+]
I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
The Basque country has a very large water flow in the shortage. Every local drop curls and revives our culture. Offer a sea of water to that thirst. Although the Basque Country has come from a deep and dark well, we have all drawn our sample of salt water and turned it into a... [+]
