Questions & Answers about Gràcies per avisar.

Why is it per avisar and not something like per avises or per avisant?

After gràcies per in Catalan, you normally use the infinitive of the verb.

• Gràcies per avisar = Thanks for letting me know / warning me
• avisar is the infinitive: to inform / to warn / to let someone know

So this structure is very similar to English thanks for + -ing, but Catalan uses per + infinitive instead of a gerund.

Other examples:

• Gràcies per venir = Thanks for coming
• Gràcies per ajudar = Thanks for helping

What exactly does avisar mean here?

Avisar can mean several related things, depending on context:

• to let someone know
• to inform
• to warn
• to notify

In Gràcies per avisar, it often means something natural like:

• Thanks for letting me know
• Thanks for telling me
• Thanks for warning me

So the exact English translation depends on the situation, even though the Catalan verb stays the same.

Why is there no word for me? Shouldn’t it be Gràcies per avisar-me?
