Introduction to Noun Gender and Number[edit | edit source]

In the Basque language, every noun is categorized into one of two genders: masculine or feminine. This classification affects the way articles are used and how nouns are modified. As a beginner, it's essential to grasp these concepts, as they are foundational for further learning in Basque.

Understanding Masculine and Feminine Nouns[edit | edit source]

In Basque, masculine and feminine nouns are not always intuitive. Here are some key points to remember:

Masculine nouns often refer to male beings or are derived from male-associated words.

Feminine nouns typically refer to female beings or are derived from female-associated words.

Some nouns may appear neutral and can be either masculine or feminine depending on context.

Here’s a quick reference table illustrating some common masculine and feminine nouns:

Basque	Pronunciation	English
mutil	muˈtil	boy
neska	ˈneska	girl
aita	ˈaita	father
ama	ˈama	mother
irakasle	iɾaˈkasle	teacher (neutral)
mediku	meˈðiku	doctor (neutral)

Remember that learning the gender of nouns is important because it affects article usage and adjective agreement in sentences.

Singular and Plural Forms[edit | edit source]

Nouns in Basque can also be singular or plural. Here’s how it works:

Singular nouns refer to one item.

Plural nouns indicate more than one item.

To form plurals, Basque often adds a suffix. The most common suffix for pluralization is -ak. However, some nouns may have irregular forms.

Here’s a table showcasing examples of singular and plural nouns:

Basque (Singular)	Pronunciation	English (Singular)	Basque (Plural)	Pronunciation	English (Plural)
liburu	liˈbuɾu	book	liburuak	liˈbuɾuak	books
etxe	ˈet͡ʃe	house	etxeak	ˈet͡ʃeak	houses
auto	ˈauto	car	autoak	ˈautoak	cars
ikasle	iˈkasle	student	ikasleak	iˈkasleak	students
lagun	laˈɡun	friend	lagunak	laˈɡunak	friends

Articles and Their Agreement with Nouns[edit | edit source]

In Basque, articles must agree with the gender and number of the nouns they precede. There are two types of articles: definite and indefinite.

1. Definite Article (the):

Singular: The definite article for masculine nouns is "a" and for feminine nouns is "a" as well.

Plural: In plural, both masculine and feminine nouns take the article "ak".

2. Indefinite Article (a/an):

The indefinite article is "bat" for both masculine and feminine nouns in singular form.

In plural, it is often omitted.

Here’s a table that summarizes the articles:

Type	Gender	Singular Article	Plural Article
Definite	Masculine	a	ak
Definite	Feminine	a	ak
Indefinite	Both	bat	(omitted)

-In this lesson, we will dive into the fascinating world of Basque noun gender and number. It is essential to understand these concepts to form correct sentences and convey the intended meaning accurately. Basque nouns can be masculine or feminine, and their singular and plural forms differ significantly. But don't worry, we'll explain everything in detail and provide examples using common Basque words.
+|}
-<h1>Noun Gender</h1>
+=== Articles and Their Agreement with Nouns ===
-Basque nouns have two genders: masculine and feminine. The gender of a noun is not always indicated by its meaning, so it must be memorized for each word.
+In Basque, articles must agree with the gender and number of the nouns they precede. There are two types of articles: definite and indefinite.
-Here are a few basic rules to help you determine the gender of a noun in Basque:
+. '''Definite Article (the)''':
-<ul>
+* '''Singular''': The definite article for masculine nouns is '''"a"''' and for feminine nouns is '''"a"''' as well.
-  <li>Words ending in -a are usually feminine. Example: etxea (house)</li>
-  <li>Words ending in -e are usually masculine. Example: gizona (man)</li>
-  <li>Words ending in -o can be either masculine or feminine. Example: ardoa (wine)</li>
-  <li>Words ending in -i are usually feminine. Example: ahizpa (sister)</li>
-</ul>
-Remember that these are just general rules and that some words may not follow them. It's best to memorize the gender of a word together with its meaning.
+* '''Plural''': In plural, both masculine and feminine nouns take the article '''"ak"'''.
-<h2>Using Articles with Gendered Nouns</h2>
+. '''Indefinite Article (a/an)''':
-In Basque, articles must match the gender of the noun they are modifying. Here is a table that shows how articles change based on the gender of the noun:
+* The indefinite article is '''"bat"''' for both masculine and feminine nouns in singular form.
+* In plural, it is often omitted.
+Here’s a table that summarizes the articles:
 {| class="wikitable"
-! Gender !! Definite Article !! Indefinite Article
+! Type !! Gender !! Singular Article !! Plural Article
+|-
+| Definite || Masculine || a || ak
 |-
-| Masculine || -a || bat
+| Definite || Feminine || a || ak
 |-
-| Feminine || -a || bat
+| Indefinite || Both || bat || (omitted)
 |}
-As you can see, the definite article is -a for both masculine and feminine nouns. The indefinite article for both is bat.
+=== Examples of Noun Gender and Number ===
+Now, let’s look at some examples to solidify your understanding of noun gender and number.
+. '''Masculine Singular''':
+* '''Basque''': mutil bat
+* '''Translation''': a boy
+. '''Feminine Singular''':
+* '''Basque''': neska bat
+* '''Translation''': a girl
+. '''Masculine Plural''':
+* '''Basque''': mutilak
+* '''Translation''': the boys
+. '''Feminine Plural''':
-Here are some examples of articles used with gendered nouns:
+* '''Basque''': neskaak
-<ul>
+* '''Translation''': the girls
-  <li>Etxea da hortik hurbil. (The house is close by.)</li>
-  <li>Gizona etxean dago. (The man is at home.)</li>
-  <li>Ardo bat nahi dut. (I want a wine.)</li>
-  <li>Ahizpa bizi da Amerikan. (The sister lives in America.)</li>
-</ul>
-Note how the articles change based on the gender of the noun.
+. '''Neutral Singular''':
-<h1>Noun Number</h1>
+* '''Basque''': irakasle bat
-Like many languages, Basque has singular and plural forms for nouns. In general, words that end in a vowel add -k to become plural, and those ending in a consonant add -ak.
+* '''Translation''': a teacher
-Here are some basic rules to help you form plural nouns in Basque:
+. '''Neutral Plural''':
-<ul>
+* '''Basque''': irakasleak
-  <li>Words ending in -a in singular change to -ak in plural. Example: etxea (house) → etxeak (houses)</li>
-  <li>Words ending in -ak in singular stay the same in plural. Example: autoa (car) → autoak (cars)</li>
-  <li>Words ending in a consonant add -ak in plural. Example: txakurra (dog) → txakurrak (dogs)</li>
-  <li>Some words have irregular plural forms. Example: haurrek (children), herriak (villages)</li>
-</ul>
-<h2>Using Articles with Plural Nouns</h2>
+* '''Translation''': the teachers
-As with gendered nouns, articles must match the number of the noun they are modifying. Here is a table that shows how articles change based on the number of the noun:
+Let’s explore more examples:
 {| class="wikitable"
-! Number !! Definite Article !! Indefinite Article
+! Basque !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| mutil bat || muˈtil bat || a boy
+|-
+| neska bat || ˈneska bat || a girl

+|-
+| irakasle bat || iɾaˈkasle bat || a teacher
+|-
+| irakasleak || iɾaˈkasleak || the teachers
 |-
-| Singular || -a || bat
+| auto bat || ˈauto bat || a car
 |-
-| Plural || -ak || bat
+| autoak || ˈautoak || the cars
+|-
+| liburu bat || liˈbuɾu bat || a book
+|-
+| liburuak || liˈbuɾuak || the books
 |}
-Here are some examples of articles used with plural nouns:
+=== Practice Exercises ===

+==== Exercise 1: Identify the Gender ====

+Determine the gender of the following nouns:
-As mentioned earlier, some nouns have irregular forms that don't follow the general rules. Here are a few examples:

+. irakasle
-  <li>Bikotea (couple) → Bikoteak (couples)</li>
-  <li>Adiskide (friend) → Adiskideak (friends)</li>
-  <li>Ama (mother) → Amaiak (mothers)</li>
-  <li>Ardi (sheep) → Ardiek (sheep)</li>
-</ul>
-It's best to memorize these irregular forms together with their singular counterparts.
+. lagun
-<h1>Conclusion</h1>
