Usage notes
- While often translated as "to walk", this verb lacks a clear English equivalent as it can be used to express almost any kind of motion. To express movement of a particular kind, it can take an adverb, such as oinez ibili (“to walk”, literally “to move by foot”), txirrinduz ibili (“to ride a bike”, literally “to move by bike”) or igeri ibili (“to swim”).
