Questions & Answers about Jo subratllo cada paràgraf important amb un retolador blau.

Do I need to say Jo, or can I leave it out?

You can usually leave it out.

Catalan often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.
Here, subratllo means I underline / I highlight, so jo is not strictly necessary.

• Jo subratllo cada paràgraf important... = I underline each important paragraph...
• Subratllo cada paràgraf important... = same basic meaning

Using jo adds emphasis, contrast, or clarity, for example:

• Jo subratllo, però tu no. = I underline, but you don’t.

What does subratllo mean exactly?

Subratllo is the 1st person singular present form of subratllar, which means to underline or sometimes to highlight/mark as important, depending on context.

So:

• subratllar = to underline
• subratllo = I underline

In this sentence, it describes a habitual action or something the speaker generally does.

Why is it subratllo and not something like subratlla?
