Subject-Verb-Object Order

In Catalan, the most common sentence structure is subject-verb-object order. This means that the subject comes before the verb and the object comes after the verb. For example:

Catalan Pronunciation English Translation
Jo mengi una poma. ʒu mənˈdʒi u.nə ˈpɔ.mə I eat an apple.
Tu estudies català. tu əs.tuˈði.əs kə.təˈɫa You study Catalan.
Ella fa exercici. ˈɛ.ʎə fə əksərˈsi.si She exercises.

Verb Conjugation

In Catalan, verbs must be conjugated to agree with the subject. This means that the verb must be changed depending on who is doing the action. The basic conjugation for regular verbs in present tense is:

Subject Verb
Jo -o
Tu -es
Ell/Ella -a
Nosaltres -em
Vosaltres -eu
Ells/Elles -en

For example:

Catalan Pronunciation English Translation
Jo mengo una poma. ʒu məŋˈɡɔ u.nə ˈpɔ.mə I eat an apple.
Tu estudies català. tu əstudiəs kətəˈɫa You study Catalan.
Ella fa exercici. ˈɛ.ʎə fə əksərˈsi.si She exercises.
