Questions & Answers about Faig una sèrie.

What verb is faig from?

Faig is the 1st person singular present tense form of fer, which means to do or to make.

So:

• fer = to do / to make
• faig = I do / I make

This is why Faig una sèrie means I make / I do a series, depending on context.

Why is it faig and not something more regular-looking?

Because fer is an irregular verb.

Its present tense forms are not built in a fully predictable way. For example:

• jo faig = I do / make
• tu fas = you do / make
• ell/ella fa = he/she does / makes
• nosaltres fem = we do / make
• vosaltres feu = you all do / make
• ells/elles fan = they do / make

So faig is just the correct irregular form for I.

Why isn’t jo included?

Catalan often drops subject pronouns when the verb already makes the subject clear.

Since faig can only mean I do / I make, the jo is not necessary.

• Faig una sèrie = I make a series
