Good videos. Just an advice: In catalan we say only Bon dia/Bona nit (depending if there is sun or not). Of course, we've a word for afternoon, són we can say "Bona vesprada/vespre/tarda", but in our culture we don't say it, so we stick just to Bon dia, while we can see the sun, and Bona nit, at night.
does anyone know about time in barcelona? or just Catalunya. I'm just wanting to know how it relates to here in the US (central time) Like 3pm here is what time over there or like at what time people eat their breakfast compared to here. I hope i made this understandable! haha
@TheFrite92 It depends on the part of the US you live in. I just know it's 6 hours difference if you live in New York, and 9 hours difference if you live in the West coast, but nothing else, hehe, sorry.
I just moved here to spain a few months ago...just started school in Barcelona.
I know Spanish from before since its my language..but not Catalan.I understand a bit when they talk to me.How long do you think it will take for me to learn?
@LillaVnilla I dont know if you learn it from the scratch, but a cousin of mine learn it in 3 months. She was monolingual in spanish, so speaking a latin language gives you a edge.
I'm learning spanish at the moment and after that i will study catalan. When I finished my spanish, how long will it take to learn Catalan, do you think? 3 months? 6 months? 1 year? Please let me know, i would highly appreciate it :)
@GuidingSlasher Hmm, hard to say, cause I don't know of anyone who has studied Catalan not living in Catalonia. They say it's harder than Spanish, so maybe it takes longer. Or well, maybe if you already know Spanish, Catalan is easier cause they are similar...
@E7HeL What do you say of someone that speaks european portuguesese? I'm portuguese and very recently I've starting watching a catalan tv show. I've never had lessons before, but still I get the general meaning and sometimes I feel like i'm listening to portuguese, because some expressions are pronounced almost identically.
hello!!! I want to ask whether I need to add the upside down exclamation mark [ ¡ ] before the phrase [ Hola! ] like Spanish??? like this [ ¡Hola! ]...Thank you!!

@AnaIsabell Yes, I don't speak Portuguese, but I know it's very similar to Catalan and Spanish, so I guess it might be easy to understand for you :)

Good evening = bon vespre. El que passa és que aquesta expressió es va perdent per culpa del castellà en algunes zones... Salutacions!
mptozer 9 months ago
@mptozer Sí, és veritat, existeix "vespre", però jo l'expressió "bon vespre" diria que no l'he sentida mai. Deu dependre de la zona. Salutacions!
