Translation of "ekarri" into English

to transport toward somebody/somewhere

In Basque, ekarri (to bring) is a synthetic (trinko) verb, meaning it doesn't always need an auxiliary verb (like du or dugu) to conjugate in the present and past tenses. Instead, the prefixes and suffixes attach directly to the verb root. Because it is a transitive verb (nor-nork), the forms change based on who is bringing (the subject/agent) and what is being brought (the object). Below are the paradigms for bringing a singular object (e.g., it / hura) and a plural object (e.g., them / haiek). 1. Present Tense (Orainaldia) Bringing a Singular Object (Hura) Nik dakar-t (I bring it); Zuk dakar-zu (You bring it - singular/polite); Hark dakar (He/She brings it); Guk dakar-gu (We bring it); Zuek dakar-zue (You all bring it); Haiek dakar-te (They bring it). Bringing a Plural Object (Haiek); Nik dakar-zki-t (I bring them); Zuk dakar-zki-zu (You bring them); Hark dakar-zki (He/She brings them); Guk dakar-zki-gu (We bring them); Zuek dakar-zki-zue (You all bring them); Haiek dakar-zki-te (They bring them). 2. Past Tense (Lehenaldia) Brought a Singular Object (Hura): Nik nekarren (I brought it); Zuk zenekarren (You brought it) Hark zekarren (He/She brought it); Guk genekarren (We brought it); Zuek zenekarten (You all brought it); Haiek zekarten (They brought it); Brought a Plural Object (Haiek); Nik nekarzkien (I brought them); Zuk zenekarzkien (You brought them); Hark zekarzkien (He/She brought them); Guk genekarzkien (We brought them); Zuek zenekarzkiten (You all brought them); Haiek zekarzkiten (They brought them).
