El lliurament és avui.

Lliurament can mean delivery, submission, or handing over, depending on context.

In El lliurament és avui, it could mean things like:

• The delivery is today
• The submission is today
• The handover is today

So if this is about a package, it is probably delivery. If it is about homework or an assignment, it is probably submission.

El is the masculine singular definite article, meaning the.

So:

• el lliurament = the delivery / the submission

Catalan usually needs the article here, just as English does. Saying only Lliurament és avui would normally sound incomplete or incorrect in ordinary speech.

Yes, lliurament is masculine, which is why it takes el.

A useful pattern is that many Catalan nouns ending in -ment are masculine:

• el moment
• el document
• el pensament
• el lliurament

This is a very helpful vocabulary clue, although it is always good to confirm with a dictionary if you are unsure.

It is és because the verb here is ser, not estar.

Catalan uses ser for things like:

• identification
• definitions
• general characteristics
• dates and time-related statements like this one

In El lliurament és avui, the sentence is identifying when the delivery/submission is. That is why ser is the natural choice.

So:

• és avui = is today

Using està here would sound wrong.

Avui means today.

Here it works as a time expression telling you when the delivery/submission is happening or due.

So the structure is basically:

• El lliurament = the subject
• és = is
• avui = today

Yes, the word order can change, but El lliurament és avui is a very normal, neutral order.

Catalan often uses:

• Subject + verb + time expression

So this sentence feels natural and straightforward.

You might also hear other orders for emphasis, for example:

• Avui és el lliurament — more like Today is the delivery/submission day
• És avui, el lliurament — possible in special spoken contexts, but not the neutral version

So the original sentence is the most standard way to say it.

The accent marks both stress and helps distinguish this word from es.

• és = is (from ser)
• es = a pronoun, often translated as oneself, itself, or part of a pronominal verb

So the accent is important because it shows that this is the verb form is.

A careful Central Catalan pronunciation is roughly:

• lliurament → lyoo-ruh-MENT or lyoo-ra-MENT, depending on accent and speaker

A few helpful notes:

• ll in traditional Catalan is like the lli sound in million for many English learners, though in real speech many speakers pronounce it more like y
• iu forms a glide, so it moves quickly together
• the stress is on the last syllable: -ment

So the main stress is:

• lliu-ra-MENT

Avui is pronounced roughly like uh-VOO-ee or ah-VOO-ee, depending on dialect.

The stress is on the second syllable:

• a-VUI

The final ui is pronounced as a glide, not as two fully separate English-style vowels.

Yes, absolutely.

If the context is school, university, or work, El lliurament és avui can mean that the assignment, report, or project is due today.

Depending on the situation, Catalan speakers might also say:

• S’ha de lliurar avui = It has to be handed in today
• La data de lliurament és avui = The submission date is today

But your sentence is perfectly possible and natural in the right context.

Yes, mainly with avui and pronunciation.

In Valencian, many speakers use:

• hui instead of avui

So a Valencian equivalent could be:

• El lliurament és hui

Also, the pronunciation of ll varies by region:

• some speakers keep a distinct ll sound
• others pronounce it more like y

But the grammar of the sentence stays the same.
