I am interested in the relation between these languages

I am using google translate because I'm not basque, but I'm amazed on how similar they sound.


The first thing I've found:

Yes: Hai (japanese) Bai (basque)

You can search similarities too!
>>
light: akari (japanese) and arin (basque)
>>
bird: tori (japanese) and txori (basque)
>>
duck: ahiru (japanese) and ahate (basque)
>>
morning: gozen (japanese) goizean (basque)
>>
>>52109627
wow juan, nice job! but you need to sleep
>>
brother: ani (japanese) anaia (basque)
>>
Nothing but a bunch of false friends
>>
bery intersting
>>
Female: mesu (japanese) eme (basque)
>>
>>52110280
I think you mean false cognates
>>
And: to (japanese) eta (basque)
>>
two: ni (japanese) bi (basque)
three: mittsu (japanese) hiru (basque)
five: go (japanese) bost (basque)
nine: kokonotzu (japanese) bederatzi (basque)

the only number that goes longer in word is nine, in basque and in japanese, the other numers are easy short words

>I am interested in the relation between these languages
This is how it works
>What are the similarities between basque (Any language that isn't spanish because loanwords)
None
>>
>>52110280
what
>>
>>52110287
eme seems to be more related to feme than mesu, also how hard would it be to learn basque for a spanish speaker?
>>
>>52113345

The same type of shit exists in Polish and in Persian

Just coincidence probably
>>
Our only relevance with Basque is Francisco de Xavier I think.
His religion is truly pious, we repelled them Christians out though.

Thanks for appreciating the Japanese language but reality is probably this >>52110414.
