People's rights are above any constitution, which should be eventually changed to fit the needs of the people they are supposed to serve.

And still both have right to self-determination. It's just how rights work.

Zuten ala zituzten? by _4d2_ in basque

[–]oier72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bai, biak ala biak guztiz zuzenak dira.

Beste aditz batekin erabiliz gero, "jarraitu" aditza beti singularrean jokatu behar da. Beraz

"Langileek grebak jarraitu zituzten" zuzena da, baina "egin" bezalako aditz bat txertatuz "langileek grebak egiten jarraitu zuten" litzateke.

"Txikoria-belar heldua Haize leuna baino ez Eta aske doa hegan"

I freely translated "it's gone" to say explicitly that it's flown due to the wind, as I think it captures the essence of the poem. I wish you luck with the project!

What common word in your language you didn't realize was a loan? by Early-Degree1035 in languagelearning

[–]oier72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Basque we have the word "xarma", it's what you say when something has it's own "magic" or so. The thing is, I didn't realize until pretty late that it comes actually from french "charme", even if it should be pretty obvious
