Questions & Answers about La meva filla adora la xocolata.
Why is there la before meva filla?
In Catalan, possessives are very often used with the definite article. So la meva filla is the normal way to say my daughter.
Compare:
- la meva filla = my daughter
- el meu fill = my son
- els meus amics = my friends
This is different from English, where we usually say just my daughter without the.
Why is it meva and not meu?
Because meva has to agree with filla, which is a feminine singular noun.
The possessive changes for gender and number:
- meu = masculine singular
- meva = feminine singular
- meus = masculine plural
- meves = feminine plural
So:
- la meva filla
- el meu fill
- les meves filles
- els meus fills
What exactly is adora grammatically?
