Catalan articles

From UniLang Wiki

>> languages >> Catalan >> Catalan grammar

Like in most Romance languages, articles are declined in gender (feminine/masculine) and number (singular/plural).
Nouns always need a determiner, i.e. a number, demonstrative pronoun, article or something like that. It can't stand alone as in some English expressions.

Indefinite Articles

  masc. fem.
sg. un una
pl. uns unes

Definite Articles

The forms with an apostrophe are used before words starting with a vowel or a silent H.

  masc. fem.
sg. el / l' la / l'
pl. els les

"Salat" definite articles

It's a relic of Old Catalan still used in the dialects spoken in the Balearic islands and some areas of the province of Girona instead of the standard definite articles.

  masc. fem.
sg. es / s' sa / s'
pl. es es
