Questions & Answers about Tinc no només el currículum sinó també experiència laboral.
Why is it Tinc and not Jo tinc?
Because Catalan usually drops the subject pronoun when it is clear from the verb ending.
- tinc already means I have
- the verb form tells you it is 1st person singular
So Tinc is normally enough. You would add jo only for emphasis or contrast, for example:
- Jo tinc experiència, però ell no. = I have experience, but he doesn’t.
What verb is tinc, exactly?
Tinc is the 1st person singular present indicative of tenir = to have.
So:
- tenir = to have
- tinc = I have
This is an irregular verb, so the form is not something you can predict just by adding a regular ending.
