Questions & Answers about L'entrevistador jove té experiència laboral.
Why does the sentence start with L' instead of El?
L' is the shortened form of the definite article el before a vowel sound.
- el entrevistador becomes l'entrevistador
- This is called apostrophation
So l'entrevistador means the interviewer.
This is very common in Catalan:
- l'home = the man
- l'escola = the school
Why is jove after entrevistador instead of before it?
In Catalan, adjectives often come after the noun, much more often than in English.
So:
- l'entrevistador jove = the young interviewer
This noun + adjective order is the normal pattern in many cases:
- una casa gran = a big house
- un cotxe nou = a new car
Sometimes adjectives can go before the noun, but that may sound more literary, emphatic, or slightly different in tone. For a straightforward description, entrevistador jove is the expected order.
