Sol·licito la vacant avui.

Catalan often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is.
Here, sol·licito is the 1st person singular form, so it already means I apply / I request.

You could say Jo sol·licito la vacant avui, but jo would usually add emphasis, contrast, or clarification.

Sol·licito is the present indicative, first person singular of sol·licitar.

So:

• sol·licito = I apply for / I request
• infinitive: sol·licitar

In this sentence, it describes a present action: I am applying for the vacancy today or I apply for the vacancy today, depending on context.

Because sol·licitar normally takes a direct object in Catalan.

So Catalan says:

• sol·licitar la vacant
• literally, something like to request the vacancy

English needs apply for, but Catalan does not need an equivalent of for here.

La vacant means the vacancy, the opening, or the vacant position.

In job or institutional contexts, vacant can function as a noun, not just as an adjective. So here it refers to an available post or opening.

It is feminine singular here:

• la vacant = the vacancy

La is the definite article, so it means a specific vacancy that speaker and listener can identify.

• la vacant = the vacancy / a known opening
• una vacant = a vacancy / one vacancy, not specified

So this sentence suggests the speaker is applying for a particular vacancy, not just any vacancy.

In this sentence, vacant is treated as a feminine singular noun: la vacant.

Learners often notice that vacant also looks like an adjective, and that is true. In real usage, it can be connected to an understood noun such as plaça or posició, both of which are feminine. That helps explain why the article is la.

The important thing for this sentence is simply:

• la vacant = feminine singular

The middle dot in l·l is a special Catalan spelling mark called the punt volat.

It shows that this is a geminated l:

• l·l is not the same as ll

This matters because:

• ll represents a different sound
• l·l means you pronounce two separate l sounds across syllables

So sol·licito is not pronounced with the ll sound found in words like lluna.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide would be:

• sol·licito ≈ sol-lee-SEE-to
• la vacant ≈ la va-KANT
• avui ≈ a-VUI

A few useful notes:

• sol·licito is stressed on -ci-
• vacant is stressed on the last syllable
• avui is also stressed on the last syllable
• in many Catalan varieties, b and v sound very similar

Yes, avui can move.

The version you have, Sol·licito la vacant avui, is perfectly possible and puts today at the end in a fairly neutral way.

Other common possibilities are:

• Avui sol·licito la vacant.
• Sol·licito avui la vacant.

The meaning stays basically the same, but the emphasis can shift slightly depending on position. Putting avui first often highlights the time more strongly.

You might hear demanar in some contexts because it means to ask for, but sol·licitar is usually more formal and especially appropriate for applications, official requests, and administrative language.

So for a job opening or official vacancy:

• Sol·licito la vacant avui sounds formal and suitable.
• Demano la vacant avui may sound less formal and not always as natural in the same context.

If you are talking about applying for a post, sol·licitar is the safer choice.

Yes, it is grammatical and understandable.

That said, depending on context, native speakers might also use other wording, especially if they want to sound more specific or idiomatic in a job-application context. For example, they might refer to a plaça or talk about presenting an application.

But as a learning sentence, Sol·licito la vacant avui works well and clearly shows:

• a first-person verb
• a direct object
• a time expression at the end
