Adierazi

Adierazi is a Basque verb meaning to inform, notify, or announce. It is used to communicate information from a speaker to a listener or audience and is common in both formal and everyday Basque discourse.

Language and context: Basque, a language isolate spoken in the Basque Country (parts of northern Spain and southwestern France), uses adierazi across a range of registers. The verb appears in news reporting, administrative statements, educational materials, and personal conversation, whenever information is being conveyed from one party to others.

Form and usage notes: The infinitive form of the verb is adierazi. Like other Basque verbs, it is conjugated to reflect subject, object, tense, and mood, allowing speakers to specify who informs whom and when. In practice, adierazi is frequently employed in sentences that introduce a piece of information, a decision, or an announcement to an audience or recipient. In many contexts, it sits alongside related terms such as jakinarazi, which also conveys the sense of making information known.

Impact and nuance: Adierazi emphasizes the act of conveying information rather than merely stating a fact. It carries a sense of official or deliberate communication, though it remains common in everyday speech as well.
