Questions & Answers about Ingresso diners al compte corrent.
Why is there no jo in the sentence?
Because Catalan usually omits the subject pronoun when it is clear from the verb form.
- Ingreso already tells you the subject is I
- So Ingreso diners al compte corrent naturally means I deposit money into the checking/current account
You can still say Jo ingresso diners al compte corrent, but jo would usually add emphasis or contrast.
What form is ingresso?
Ingresso is the 1st person singular present indicative of ingressar.
So:
- (jo) ingresso = I deposit
- Depending on context, it can also correspond to English I am depositing
Catalan present tense often covers both a general action and a current action, depending on context.
Why is it spelled ingresso with ss?
Because in Catalan, a single s between vowels often sounds like z, while ss keeps the s sound.
So:
- ingresso has ss to preserve the correct pronunciation
- It comes from the stem ingress- plus the ending -o
This is a spelling/pronunciation issue, not a different word.
Why is diners plural when English uses money as a singular word?
