L'agència immobiliària té un anunci.

Because la becomes l' before a singular noun that starts with a vowel or silent h.

• la + agència → l'agència

This is called elision. It helps the sentence sound smoother.

Similar examples:

• l'escola
• l'oficina
• l'habitació

So L'agència means the agency.

The apostrophe shows that a vowel was dropped from the article la.

So:

• full form: la
• before a vowel: l'

It works much like in French, and a bit like contractions in English, though it is not optional here. In this sentence, l' is simply the feminine singular definite article before agència.

In Catalan, adjectives often come after the noun, unlike in English.

So:

• agència immobiliària = real estate agency

This is the normal order for many descriptive adjectives in Catalan. English says real estate agency, but Catalan naturally puts the descriptive word after the noun here.

Because it agrees with the noun agència, which is feminine singular.

Catalan adjectives usually agree in gender and number with the noun they describe.

Here:

• agència = feminine singular
• immobiliària = feminine singular form

For comparison:

• masculine singular: immobiliari
• feminine singular: immobiliària
• masculine plural: immobiliaris
• feminine plural: immobiliàries

So agència immobiliària uses the feminine singular adjective.

Té means has. It is the third person singular form of the verb tenir (to have).

So:

• jo tinc = I have
• tu tens = you have
• ell/ella té = he/she/it has

In this sentence, the subject is L'agència immobiliària, which is singular, so Catalan uses té.

The accent in té is a written accent that helps show pronunciation and distinguish forms.

Here it marks the stressed vowel:

• té = has

Catalan uses accent marks more systematically than English. In this case, the accent tells you the word is stressed and pronounced with an e sound.

It is just the normal spelling of this verb form, so you should learn té as a complete word.

Un is the masculine singular indefinite article, meaning a or an.

Since anunci is a masculine singular noun, Catalan uses:

• un anunci = an advertisement / a listing

Compare:

• un llibre = a book
• una casa = a house

English uses a/an depending on sound, but Catalan uses un/una depending on the noun's gender.

Because Catalan does not choose the indefinite article based on the next sound, the way English does with a/an.

English:

• a book
• an ad

Catalan:

• un llibre
• un anunci

The choice depends on gender and number, not on whether the next word begins with a vowel.

So un anunci is correct because anunci is masculine singular.

Anunci usually means advertisement, ad, or sometimes listing, depending on context.

In the context of a real estate agency, un anunci will often mean:

• an ad
• a property listing
• an advertisement posted by the agency

So the word is broad, and the exact English translation depends on the situation.

Yes. This is the standard Catalan order:

• Subject: L'agència immobiliària
• Verb: té
• Object: un anunci

So the sentence follows a normal subject–verb–object pattern, just like English:

• The real estate agency has an ad.

That makes this a very straightforward Catalan sentence structurally.

A simple learner-friendly approximation is:

la-JEN-si-a ee-mo-bee-lee-A-ree-a tay oon a-NOON-see

A few pronunciation notes:

• g in agència sounds like the s in measure or the g in genre
• ci in anunci sounds like see
• the stressed syllables are roughly:
  • agència
  • immobiliària
  • té
  • anunci

The written accents help show where the stress falls:

• agència
• immobiliària
• té

Because Catalan often omits subject pronouns when the verb form already shows who or what the subject is.

Here, the subject is explicitly given:

• L'agència immobiliària

So there is no need to add a pronoun. Catalan does this very often:

• Té un anunci = It has an ad
• L'agència immobiliària té un anunci = The real estate agency has an ad

Including a pronoun here would usually be unnecessary unless you wanted emphasis or contrast.
