The tx phonetic is equivalent to a hard "ch" in English, like the first ch of church. Basque vowels are pronounced more or less most other latin vowels, although final o's can tend to have a shortened u sound. So the e is like "eh" or "ay", and the o is like "oh".
Etxe means house and is a common root of many common Spanish surnames like Echevarria. Ondo means good or well.
