Hey Ya'll...
Here's a list of my favorite Catalan words (my vocabulary is still a bit limited, but you know, poc a poc) followed by a translation into Spanish and then English.
·ioga (yoga, yoga)
·soci (socio, member) - pronounced like a hybrid between the Spanish and English words for "sassy" (soso, sassy) and also happens to be the way Jorge says it.
·collonut (cojonudo, brilliant/amazing/awesome)
·qué fort! (¡qué fuerte!, oh my god!/holy shit!/no kidding!/wow!/unbelievable!)
·ou (huevo, egg) - words comprised of vowels only = !!!!
·tranquil! (¡tranquilo!, relax!) - the 'l' is silent
Also, a follow up to this Catalan lesson: let's see if you can understand this article/interview my school wrote about me! Here is the link to the school's website. They will be publishing the actual interview in the school newspaper later in spring. ¡My students are so cute!
Treat yourself to a real Spanish siesta this week!
