Qui vol llogar el pis?

Qui means who and is the question word used for people.

So in this sentence, qui is asking which person wants to do the action.

A useful comparison:

• qui = who
• què = what

Also, qui does not take an accent in Catalan.

Vol is the 3rd person singular present tense of voler, which means to want.

So:

• jo vull = I want
• tu vols = you want
• ell/ella vol = he/she wants

In the sentence Qui vol llogar el pis?, vol means wants.

When qui is the subject of the question, Catalan normally uses the verb in the 3rd person singular.

So:

• Qui vol...? = Who wants...?
• Qui ve...? = Who is coming?

This works very much like English, where we also usually say Who wants...?, not Who want...?

After voler in Catalan, the next verb goes directly in the infinitive.

So Catalan says:

• vol llogar = wants to rent
• vull menjar = I want to eat
• volen sortir = they want to go out

English needs to after want, but Catalan does not.

Llogar means to rent / to hire.

With something like un pis, it usually means to rent a flat/apartment. Depending on context, Catalan llogar can sometimes refer either to:

• renting something as the person who pays for it, or
• renting something out to someone

But in a sentence like this, the intended meaning usually becomes clear from context.

Related word:

• lloguer = rent, rental

El is the definite article, so el pis means the flat/apartment — a specific one.

Compare:

• el pis = the flat/apartment
• un pis = a flat/apartment

So Qui vol llogar el pis? sounds like the speaker is talking about a particular apartment already known in the conversation.

Yes. Pis is the normal everyday Catalan word for flat/apartment.

For many learners, it helps to remember:

• pis = flat/apartment
• apartament = apartment, but often used in more specific contexts, such as a holiday apartment or a particular kind of apartment

So if you want the usual word for apartment/flat, pis is very common and natural.

Catalan does not use do/does to form questions the way English does.

English says:

• Who does want...? → actually just Who wants...?

Catalan simply uses the question word plus the verb:

• Qui vol llogar el pis?

This is a very normal Catalan question pattern. There is no extra helper verb like English do.

Catalan uses only the final question mark:

• Qui vol llogar el pis?

Unlike Spanish, Catalan does not use an opening question mark ¿.

So the punctuation here is completely standard in Catalan.
