Translation examples
Those speaking Basque are speaking the local type—fairly thick Bizkaian—and most of those speaking Spanish have accents from Andalusia and Extremadura, which she sometimes finds hard to understand, and their way of speaking has traces of Basque in it.
El euskera que escucha es el local, vizcaíno prácticamente cerrado, y del español de acento andaluz o extremeño, que no siempre sabe distinguir, se le escapan frases enteras.
The old man’s father must have been a republican, although he was also a Basque culture enthusiast, like Martin’s father, and like him, he spoke the basic Basque that he had learned from his wet nurses, and he was a great pilota player. He’d taken charge of organizing the exile of a large part of his wife’s family; although they were from an old, illustrious Bizkaian line, they had little economic wealth.
El padre del viejo debía de ser republicano y vasquista, eso sí, como el padre de Martin, y al igual que este hablaba un euskera elemental, aprendido con las ayas, y era un gran pelotari. Se vio obligado a organizar y sostener el exilio de una gran parte de su amplia familia política, que aun siendo de un importante linaje vizcaíno no tenía grandes recursos económicos.
