Acampem aquí.

Acampem is the 1st person plural form of the verb acampar (to camp).

So:

• acampar = to camp
• acampem = we camp

Depending on context, this same form can also be used like Let’s camp, because Catalan often uses the nosaltres form this way.

Catalan often drops subject pronouns when they are clear from the verb ending.

So instead of saying:

• Nosaltres acampem aquí.

it is very natural to say simply:

• Acampem aquí.

The ending -em already tells you the subject is we.

Yes. That is a very common learner question.

Acampem can be understood as:

• We camp here / We’re camping here
• Let’s camp here

The exact meaning depends on context and intonation.

For example:

• said as a statement: We camp here
• said as a suggestion or decision: Let’s camp here

Catalan often allows this kind of overlap.

The infinitive is acampar, which means to camp.

A few present-tense forms are:

• jo acampo = I camp
• tu acampes = you camp
• ell/ella acampa = he/she camps
• nosaltres acampem = we camp
• vosaltres acampeu = you all camp
• ells/elles acampen = they camp

So acampem follows a regular -ar verb pattern.

Aquí means here.

The accent mark in aquí shows that the stress falls on the last syllable:

• a-QUÍ

Without the accent, the spelling would not correctly show the normal stress pattern.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation is:

• ah-kam-PEM ah-KEE

A few helpful notes:

• c before a sounds like a hard k
• qu in aquí also sounds like k
• the stress is on -pem in acampem
• the stress is on -quí in aquí

So the rhythm is roughly:

• a-cam-PEM a-QUÍ

No. Aquí is flexible.

You can say:

• Acampem aquí.
• Aquí acampem.

Both are possible, but they feel slightly different.

• Acampem aquí is neutral.
• Aquí acampem puts more emphasis on here, as if contrasting it with somewhere else.

No, it would not be wrong. It is grammatical.

But in normal Catalan, the pronoun nosaltres is often unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• Nosaltres acampem aquí, però ells dormen a l’hotel.
  = We camp here, but they sleep at the hotel.

So in a simple sentence, Acampem aquí sounds more natural.

Often, yes.

Catalan frequently uses the simple present where English uses either:

• we camp here
• we are camping here

So Acampem aquí can work for both, depending on context.

If you want to be very explicit about an ongoing action, Catalan can also use:

• Estem acampant aquí.
  = We are camping here.

But the shorter Acampem aquí is very normal.

In a sentence like this, it can function like an inclusive command or suggestion, similar to English Let’s camp here.

Catalan does not have a completely separate imperative form for we in the way English uses let’s. Instead, it uses the nosaltres form, which matches the present subjunctive form.

So in practice, Acampem aquí can be used to suggest an action:

• Let’s camp here.

That is why learners often notice that the same form can look like a plain statement and also act like a suggestion.

Yes.

• aquí = here
• allà = there / over there

In some varieties of Catalan, especially Valencian, you may also see:

• ací = here

So aquí is a standard and very common word for here, but you may encounter regional alternatives.

Yes, absolutely. It is short, natural, and idiomatic.

You might say it when:

• choosing a place to set up a tent
• deciding where to stay outdoors
• explaining your usual camping spot

Because it is so short, the tone and situation help determine whether it means:

• We camp here or
• Let’s camp here
