Basque with Esther

No one talks about this part...

Day 13 of Basque from Zero: People romanticize Basque rural sports. Harri-jasotzaileak - stone lifters competing in plazas.

But this is where it started.

Not with crowds watching. Right here. In fields like ours. Removing rocks so we could plant crops to help .

We didn’t call it a sport. We called it work.
And when I was a kid, I’m pretty sure I pretended to be one of the harri-jasotzaileak.

Today’s verb: KENDU = to remove, to take away

Your quiz:
Is KENDU a NOR or NOR-NORK?

Which is correct:

- Gu harriak kendu dira
- Gu harriak kendu gara
- Guk harriak kendu ditugu

Comment your answer. And if you’ve ever picked rocks from a field... you’re a harri-jasotzaile too.

Day 14 tomorrow - the final day.

Bihar arte lagun!
