Questions & Answers about La devolució té un termini.
In Catalan, it is very common to use the definite article with nouns when talking about a specific thing or a general concept already understood from context.
So la devolució means the return or the refund.

Also, devolució is a feminine noun, so it takes la.
Devolució can mean return or refund, depending on context.
For example:
- in a shop context, it can mean a return
- in a money context, it can mean a refund

Nouns in Catalan have grammatical gender, and devolució is feminine.
