Etymology

edit

From Proto-Basque *oso.

Pronunciation

edit
  • IPA(key): /os̺o/ [o.s̺o]
  • Audio:(file)
  • Rhymes: -os̺o
  • Hyphenation: o‧so

Adjective

edit

oso (comparative osoago, superlative osoen, excessive osoegi)

  1. complete, entire
  2. all, the whole
    Synonym: guzti
  3. just, righteous
  4. (Northern) healthy
    Synonym: osasuntsu

Usage notes

edit
  • In the sense "all", the terms oso and guzti are not always interchangeable. The term oso usually only modifies nouns referring to "dividable" referents. For example, both opil osoa and opil guztia (“the whole cake”) are correct and virtually synonymous; however *zuku osoa (literally “the whole juice”) is not and zuku guztia must be used instead.
