Per descomptat, l'enviament arriba avui.

Because enviament begins with a vowel, the masculine singular article el is shortened to l' before it.

• el llibre = the book
• l'enviament = the shipment / the delivery

This is very common in Catalan:

• l'amic
• l'escola
• l'hotel

So l'enviament is just el enviament in its contracted form.

Per descomptat means of course, certainly, or naturally. It is a very common expression in Catalan.

It is often used:

• to confirm something
• to reassure someone
• to sound polite and confident

Examples:

• Per descomptat. = Of course.
• Per descomptat que sí. = Of course yes / Absolutely.

In this sentence, it sets a reassuring tone: Of course, the delivery arrives today.

Catalan often uses the present tense for a planned, expected, or scheduled future event, especially when there is a time word like avui, demà, or després.

So:

• L'enviament arriba avui = The shipment arrives today
• El tren surt demà = The train leaves tomorrow

This works much like English, where you can say:

• My package arrives today
• The train leaves at six

You could also say arribarà avui, using the future tense, but arriba avui sounds very natural.

Yes. L'enviament arribarà avui is also correct.

The difference is mostly one of style and nuance:

• arriba avui: very natural for something scheduled or expected
• arribarà avui: more explicitly future, sometimes a little more formal or definite

Both are correct, but in everyday Catalan, the present tense is very common in this kind of sentence.

Enviament usually means shipment, dispatch, or sometimes delivery, depending on context.

In practical everyday use, especially with online shopping or tracking, it often refers to:

• the item being sent
• the shipment process
• the package in transit

So in this sentence, l'enviament arriba avui would usually be understood as:

• the shipment arrives today
• the delivery arrives today
• the package arrives today

If you want to be more specific, Catalan also uses words like:

• paquet = package
• lliurament = delivery
• entrega = delivery

The comma separates the introductory expression Per descomptat from the main clause.

So the structure is:

• Per descomptat, = introductory phrase
• l'enviament arriba avui. = main statement

This is similar to English:

• Of course, the shipment arrives today.

The comma makes the sentence easier to read and shows a slight pause.

Yes. Arriba is the third-person singular form of arribar because l'enviament is singular.

• l'enviament arriba = the shipment arrives
• els enviaments arriben = the shipments arrive

So the verb matches the subject in number.

Yes. Catalan allows some flexibility in word order, although l'enviament arriba avui is the most neutral and straightforward version.

Possible alternatives include:

• Avui arriba l'enviament.
• L'enviament avui arriba. (less neutral, more marked)

The original sentence sounds natural and standard. Moving avui to the front can emphasize today.

Avui is pronounced roughly like ah-BOO-ee or uh-BOO-ee, depending on accent.

The important part is that the end is not like English boy or boo alone. It has a glide:

• a-vui

In standard Catalan, it is approximately:

• /əˈβuj/ in many Eastern accents
• /aˈβuj/ in many Western accents

So the stress is on the second syllable.

Not always, but it is one of the most common and safe choices.

Other possibilities can include:

• és clar = of course / clearly
• naturalment = naturally
• i tant = of course / definitely (more informal, depending on context)

So per descomptat is a solid, standard option, but Catalan has several ways to express the same idea depending on tone and situation.
