Questions & Answers about La meva filla vol aprendre més a l'escola.

Why is it la meva filla and not just meva filla?

In standard Catalan, a possessive adjective like meva is usually used with a definite article when it comes before a noun:

• la meva filla = my daughter
• el meu llibre = my book

So la meva filla is the normal structure. English does not use an article here, but Catalan usually does.

Why is it meva and not meu?

Because meva agrees with filla, which is feminine singular.

The forms are:

• meu = my, masculine singular
• meva = my, feminine singular
• meus = my, masculine plural
• meves = my, feminine plural

So:

• el meu fill = my son
• la meva filla = my daughter
