Questions & Answers about Acampem aquí.

What does acampem mean grammatically?

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.

Why is there no word for we in the sentence?

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.

Can Acampem aquí mean both We camp here and Let’s camp here?
