+12:18:16 < inariksit> or "the dog, to whom I sing"
+12:18:25 < inariksit> or "the dog, with whom I walk"
+12:18:55 < spectei> "the mother of whom?" = "la madre de quien?" = "noren ama?"
+12:19:37 < olatz> txakurra, zeinari abesten diodan. Would be the tranlsation, but....
+12:20:35 < inariksit> it's just like "the dog who loves beer" = "garagardoa maite duten txakurra", but now with a preposition; "the dog to whom the owner sings"
+12:21:04 < olatz> spectei, yes! and "zeinen ama?" too
+12:21:39 < olatz> jabeak abesten dion txakurra
+
+12:22:36 < olatz> those are very complicated sentences!!
+12:22:37 < olatz> hahah
+12:23:02 < olatz> "the dog, to whom I sing" -> abesten diodan txakurra
+12:24:11 < inariksit> aah yeah, you have to change the copula too
+
+12:27:23 < olatz> the dog, with whom I walk -> txakurra, zeinarekin ibiltzen naizen (this is absolutely not natural for basque :-S)
+12:29:27 < olatz> I walk with you -> zurekin ibiltzen naiz
+12:29:40 < olatz> I walk with the dog -> Txakurrarekin ibiltzen naiz
+12:30:40 < olatz> so..... walk with -> -kin ibili. but..... the dog,.... must be absolutive
+12:32:18 < spectei> yeah, you are missing a kind of word
+12:32:36 < spectei> that kind of word is a pro-NP that stands in place of the thing that the relative is modifying
+12:32:46 < olatz> txakurra, zeinarekin ibiltzen naizen
+12:32:53 < spectei> like HARGLE-kin ibiltzen naizen txakurra
+12:32:53 < begiak> bargle!
+12:33:02 < inariksit> so this kind of clause wouldn't come before the txakurra?
+12:33:41 < inariksit> like (nik) maite duten txakurra or (nik) abesten diodan txakurra
+12:34:18 < olatz> yes.... zeinarekin....
+12:35:54 < spectei> olatz, so "zeinarekin ibiltzen naizen txakurra" would be syntactically well formed?
+12:38:18 < olatz> I would say... txakurra, zeinarekin ibiltzen naizen
+12:39:20 < spectei> ok
+12:39:28 < olatz> I'm not a linguist so I'm not sure about the syntactic correctness of the one above, but I would correct it if one my 
+                  students writes it.
