eskerrik (thanks to) construction + verb

Postby marc » 2010-08-02, 11:47

I was wondering if someone could enlighten me. I want to say "Thanks for adding me as a friend" (on Facebook) in Basque (gracias por haberme añadido como amigo), but don't know how to create the correct verb form to match "eskerrik."

Nire lagun bezala gehitu nauzu is (I hope) "You have added me as a friend." Eskerrik requires some kind of -gatik form, no? So, nauzugatik? Nauzutik? Nauzuagatik? I can't find any of these forms.

Please help!

Hi Marc...

actuallty it would be nice if Basque were so logically constructed as that... Unfortunately we decided to go the complicated way a lot of times :)

Well, in any case, the correct form would be
"eskerrik asko ni gehitzeagatik''

Eskerrik asko erantzunagatik! Ezin hobea da! Oraindik ez dut ulertzen eraiketa hauek nola eraiki behar ditudan, baina euskara japonierara oso antzekoa dela eta, euskaraz hitz egiten (idazten) dudanean japonieran dauden antzeko eraiketa asko mailegatzen ditut.
