Questions & Answers about L'entrevista de feina és genial.

Why does l'entrevista start with l' instead of la?

Because entrevista is a feminine singular noun, so its normal article is la. But in Catalan, la becomes l' before a vowel sound:

• la entrevista → l'entrevista

This is called elision. It works a lot like French apostrophes in forms such as l'école.

So:

• la feina
• l'entrevista

What exactly does de feina mean here?

De feina literally means of work or related to work, but in this sentence it functions naturally as job in English.

So entrevista de feina means:

• job interview
• literally, interview of work / interview for work

Catalan often uses noun + de + noun where English prefers a compound noun.

Compare:

• entrevista de feina = job interview
• sabates de muntanya = mountain shoes / hiking boots
• taula de fusta = wooden table or table made of wood

Why is it és with an accent?
