Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Catalan
I speak one language [singular form] jo parlo una llengua
we speak three languages [plural noun] parlem tres llengües
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] visita molts països
they are happy now [plural pronoun] són feliços ara
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] ella té cinc sabates vermelles

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Catalan by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.

Call the ambulance truca a una ambulància!
I need a doctor em cal un metge
Where is the closest pharmacy? on és la farmàcia més a prop?
