Questions & Answers about A la pastisseria hi ha un pastís de xocolata molt bonic, i crec que l'oncle l'adorarà.
Why does the sentence start with A la pastisseria? Does a mean in here?
Yes—here a la pastisseria means at the bakery or in the bakery.
In Catalan, a is very often used for location, where English might use at, in, or sometimes to, depending on context. So:
- a la pastisseria = at/in the bakery
- a casa = at home
- a Barcelona = in Barcelona
So even though a often gets taught first as to, it also commonly marks place.
