Questions & Answers about A la mare li agrada beure te.
Because agradar is built differently from English to like.
In Catalan, the person who experiences the liking is usually introduced with a:
- A la mare = to the mother / mother
So A la mare li agrada beure te is structured more like:
- To mother, drinking tea is pleasing
That is why a appears before la mare.
Li is an indirect object pronoun meaning to him / to her / to you (formal).
In this sentence, it refers back to la mare:
- A la mare ... li ... = to mother ... to her ...
So li and a la mare point to the same person.
