Questions & Answers about Suo quan m'entreno.

What verb form is suo?

Suo is the 1st person singular present tense of suar, meaning to sweat.

So:

• suo = I sweat

Catalan often leaves out the subject pronoun, so suo already includes the idea of I.

Why isn’t jo included?

Because Catalan is a language that often drops subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The ending of the verb already tells you who the subject is:

• suo = I sweat
• sues = you sweat
• sua = he/she/it sweats

So Suo quan m'entreno is perfectly natural. You could say Jo suo quan m'entreno, but that usually adds emphasis or contrast.

What does quan mean here?

Here quan means when and introduces a time clause.

So the structure is:

• Suo = main clause
• quan m'entreno = subordinate time clause

It means something like I sweat when I work out / train.
