Adjunto el currículum i la carta de presentació.

Adjunto is the first-person singular present tense of the verb adjuntar, which means to attach.

So Adjunto el currículum... literally means I attach the CV..., but in natural English it is usually translated as I am attaching the CV... or Please find attached the CV... depending on the level of formality.

In emails and cover letters, this is a very common and natural way to refer to attached documents.

Catalan often drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

Here, adjunto already means I attach, so jo is unnecessary.

• Adjunto el currículum... = I attach / I’m attaching the CV...
• Jo adjunto el currículum... would be possible, but it sounds more emphatic, as if you were stressing I.

This is different from English, where you normally have to say I.

Catalan usually uses the definite article more often than English does.

So:

• el currículum = the CV / résumé
• la carta de presentació = the cover letter

In this kind of sentence, Catalan normally includes the articles because you are referring to specific documents that are being attached.

Leaving them out would sound unnatural in standard Catalan.

Because this is Catalan, not Spanish.

In Catalan:

• i = and

In Spanish:

• y = and

So el currículum i la carta de presentació simply means the CV and the cover letter.

Catalan often uses the structure noun + de + noun where English may use a different construction.

So:

• carta de presentació literally looks like letter of presentation
• but the natural English equivalent is cover letter

This is just the normal Catalan expression for that document. It is a fixed, common phrase.

The accent in currículum shows the correct stress pattern in Catalan.

It is pronounced with stress on the second syllable: cu-RRÍ-cu-lum.

Catalan spelling uses accent marks regularly to show stress or vowel quality, so even words borrowed from Latin or used internationally may carry an accent in Catalan.

You may also sometimes see CV used instead, especially in practical or professional contexts.

Yes, it is a complete and perfectly natural sentence, especially in an email or formal message.

Catalan often allows concise professional phrasing, and this kind of sentence is common when sending documents.

For example, it would fit naturally in an email like this:

• Benvolguts,
• Adjunto el currículum i la carta de presentació.
• Atentament, ...

So even though it is short, it does not sound incomplete.

Yes, it is neutral to formal, and it works well in professional writing, especially emails connected with job applications.

It is direct and polite, though not overly elaborate.

If you wanted to sound a bit more formal or polished, you could also say things like:

• Us adjunto el currículum i la carta de presentació.
• Adjunt trobareu el currículum i la carta de presentació.

But the original sentence is already very appropriate in a professional context.

Us means to you (plural/formal, depending on context). In professional email style, it often appears when the writer wants to make the recipient more explicit.

So:

• Adjunto el currículum... = I attach the CV...
• Us adjunto el currículum... = I attach the CV to you / I’m sending you the CV as an attachment

The original sentence omits us because Catalan does not always need to mention the indirect object if it is obvious from context.

Yes. They are singular because each refers to one document:

• el currículum = one CV
• la carta de presentació = one cover letter

Even though there are two total attachments, each noun stays singular because you are naming the two individual items being attached.

That is why the sentence uses:

• el currículum i la carta de presentació not plural forms.

It is most common in writing, especially emails and formal messages.

In spoken Catalan, people might choose something a little more conversational, such as:

• T’envio el currículum i la carta de presentació.
• Et passo el currículum i la carta de presentació.

But Adjunto el currículum i la carta de presentació is still understandable in speech; it just sounds more like written professional language.
