y

In Catalan, "y" is not commonly used, but in rare cases, it may appear as an archaic or foreign influence meaning "and" (similar to "i").


The connecting 'i' is equivalent to 'and' in English, linking related ideas or actions.

M'agrada fer senderisme i nedar.

I like hiking and swimming.


The 'i molt' construction emphasizes an adjective, creating an intensifying expression equivalent to 'very' in English repetition.

Tinc un amiguet, però és un xiquet molt i molt generós.

I have a little friend, but he is a very, very generous boy.


'I bé' is an introductory phrase, often used to transition or start a question, similar to 'Well' in English.

I bé, què penses fer aquest cap de setmana?

And well, what do you plan to do this weekend?
