Questions & Answers about Divendres la meva tieta ens portarà al teatre en cotxe, i després ens tornarà a casa.
Why is Divendres used without a preposition? Does it mean on Friday?
Yes. Here Divendres means on Friday.
In Catalan, days of the week are often used without a preposition when giving the time of an event:
- Divendres anirem al cinema = On Friday we’ll go to the cinema
- Dilluns treballo = On Monday I work
A useful contrast:
- divendres = on Friday
- els divendres = on Fridays / every Friday
So in your sentence, Divendres refers to a specific Friday, not a habitual action.
Why is it la meva tieta and not just meva tieta?
Because Catalan normally uses the definite article with possessives:
- la meva tieta = my aunt
- el meu germà = my brother
- la nostra casa = our house
That is different from English, where you usually say just my aunt, not the my aunt.
So la meva tieta is the normal Catalan pattern.
