Questions & Answers about La meva mare anirà a la farmàcia perquè necessita un medicament.
Why is it la meva mare and not just meva mare?
In standard Catalan, possessives usually go with a definite article:
- la meva mare = my mother
- el meu pare = my father
- els meus amics = my friends
This is different from English, where you normally say just my mother without the.
So la meva mare is the normal, natural way to say it in Catalan.
What does anirà mean, and what verb does it come from?
Anirà is the 3rd person singular future form of the verb anar (to go).
So:
- anar = to go
- anirà = he/she/it will go
In this sentence, it refers to la meva mare, so it means:
- My mother will go
A few useful future forms of anar are:
- aniré = I will go
- aniràs = you will go
- anirà = he/she will go
- anirem = we will go
- anireu = you all will go
- aniran = they will go
