What he told me doesn't want advertising, the protagonists of history don't know that I have to do this article. This will force me to give some extraordinary explanations. I would ask you to have some patience.

The story has been narrated by a young music enthusiast who has received Euskera at home.

Another young man who has formed a music group with whom he has learned Euskera at school or at the ikastola, in a city of Euskal Herria – of those who have learned and worked well, huh? – has decided that the group has joined a record label to take the record. Basque. The group considers that in the album there is a song that has “puntx” and that the motto is X aditz + nork aditz laguntzailea + direct object (“X du Y”, so to speak); they believe so much with the song that they think they have also seen it suitable for the title of the album, a little abbreviated; they have removed the direct object of the title (making the title: Verbal name X + auxiliary verb (“X du”). They communicate their decision to the record company.

Then the dispute began. The person in charge of the record shows that no, that title is not grammatically correct. That verb A, if it is without a straight object, does not accept a type of auxiliary; it needs a type of auxiliary, so the title of the disc needs an X verb + an auxiliary (“X gives”). That if you change the title like this, you lose the reference of the song, those of the group; that it makes no sense, that it is ridiculous.

There are the components of the group, says the young Euskaldun lover of music, crazy as a madman, losing the hours they would need to try searching for arguments in favor of his title and discussing by phone with the head of the label. It's possible! That I was sent to the record clerk to wind up, I suggested. But it's he who has to pay the record.

It's been a few weeks. The other day I walked into a store and saw the record. Title: Verb X + auxiliary verb of type nor (“X da”).

Of course, the least important thing from a grammatical point of view is who is right. The language that puts grammar and formal perfection before expressiveness will never be useful. There are people who have understood nothing in 40 years and since today there is no reason to think that they will understand anything.

We are skilled in making nice demands: living, creating, singing, playing! Once you've chosen this option, stay quiet; soon you'll feel like it.
