Questions & Answers about Posa allò al transportí.
What does posa mean here, and what verb does it come from?
Posa is the informal singular imperative of posar, which usually means to put, to place, or sometimes to set.
So here posa means:
- put
- place
It is a command directed at one person that you address as tu.
Examples with the same verb:
- Posa el llibre a la taula. — Put the book on the table.
- Posa això aquí. — Put this here.
Why is it posa and not some other form of posar?
Because this sentence is giving a command to one person informally.
Catalan uses different imperative forms depending on who you are speaking to:
- (tu) posa — put
- (vostè) posi — put
- (vosaltres) poseu — put
- (vostès) posin — put
So:
- Posa allò al transportí. = command to one person you address as tu
- Posi allò al transportí. = more formal, to vostè
- Poseu allò al transportí. = to more than one person
