Why does the sentence start with A l'empresa? What does a mean here?
Here a means at or in, depending on how we naturally translate it in English.
- a l'empresa = at the company
- l' is the article la/el shortened before a vowel
So:
- la empresa → l'empresa
- a + l'empresa → a l'empresa
In this sentence, A l'empresa on treballo means At the company where I work.
Catalan often uses a for locations where English might use in or at.
Why is it on treballo? Does on mean where?
Yes. In this sentence, on means where.
- l'empresa on treballo = the company where I work
It introduces a relative clause, just like where in English.
A few examples:
