We're getting bossy in this episode!
Com va? Esperem que estiguis bé!
In this episode, we’re focusing on one of the most useful parts of everyday Catalan: the imperative – how to give commands, instructions, and suggestions.
Using the theme of chores and daily tasks, you’ll learn how to tell someone to clean, tidy, organise, and help around the house – all in natural, real-life Catalan.
We’ll cover:
- How to form the informal imperative (for friends, family, people you know well)
- A quick introduction to the formal imperative
- How to use negative commands
- Practical, everyday phrases you can start using immediately
By the end of the episode, you’ll be able to say things like:
- Clean the kitchen!
- Take out the rubbish!
- Don’t leave your clothes on the floor!
Perfect for learners who want to sound more natural and confident in everyday situations.
We hope you enjoy the episode! Please give us a follow and a rating if you are finding the Podcast useful to help us keep making more for you.
