As in the rest of the languages of the world, in Basque there are formal and informal greetings, a characteristic to which we must add the fact that in Euskal Herria there are different dialects of Basque, the so-called &#8220;euskalkiak&#8221;, different dialects that, formed from the same dialectic base, create small variations with respect to each other. That is why, depending on the area of Euskal Herria where we are, we will hear different versions of a common denominator, the words kaixo or aupa.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"box info  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n            \n<h2><strong>Hello in Basque.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"checklist tie-list-shortcode\">\n<ul>\n<li>Kaixo.<\/li>\n<li>Aupa.<\/li>\n<li>Aupa hi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\"><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">\n            <\/div><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The formal way of saying <strong>hello in Basque, the word kaixo<\/strong>, has no great variations, but its homonym, the word aupa, a popular term that we hear more easily in the streets of the Basque Country, reaches unimaginable forms depending on the province where we are: aupa, iepa, aupi&#8230; And this last way of saying hello in Basque, is a simpler word to pronounce and more globalized than kaixo. As for the third option mentioned, &#8220;Aupa hi&#8221; is commonly heard among friends, since, aupa hi, would be in Spanish something like &#8220;hola tu&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Hola-en-euskera-kaixo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9584\" src=\"http:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Hola-en-euskera-kaixo.jpg\" alt=\"hola-en-euskera-kaixo\" width=\"713\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Hola-en-euskera-kaixo.jpg 713w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Hola-en-euskera-kaixo-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turismovasco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Hola-en-euskera-kaixo-660x330.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The entry of the Internet and social networks in the daily life of the Basques has created new words, shortened words, which give rise to a greater speed when writing in Basque by cell phone. Kaixo and Aupa, the 2 most used words to say hello in Basque, are not exempt from this type of use, and nowadays it is common to find conversations in which these words are mentioned by removing the vowels or eliminating some of their last characters. <\/p>\n<p>If you are curious to know any other word in our language, the Basque, do not hesitate to let us know through a comment in this article.
