We have also reviewed the examples, especially those relating to equality: treatment of women, current reality ...”.

Among the new forms are joño, kieto, gutasun, nabarrismo, pupa, zurgai, pott eman, ostia txarra, negar-marraska, kokorraino, ebook...

Improved for consultation

On the other hand, along with the update, Euskaltzaindia recalled that the use of the Euskaltzaindia Dictionary improved in February: “On the one hand, a new, more functional search engine was developed, offering new search possibilities, and on the other hand, the search engine now offers more possibilities to find words and, therefore, more specific.”
