We're getting bossy in this episode!

Com va? Esperem que estiguis bé! 

In this episode, we’re focusing on one of the most useful parts of everyday Catalan: the imperative – how to give commands, instructions, and suggestions.

Using the theme of chores and daily tasks, you’ll learn how to tell someone to clean, tidy, organise, and help around the house – all in natural, real-life Catalan.

We’ll cover:

  • How to form the informal imperative (for friends, family, people you know well)
  • A quick introduction to the formal imperative
  • How to use negative commands
  • Practical, everyday phrases you can start using immediately


By the end of the episode, you’ll be able to say things like:

  • Clean the kitchen!
  • Take out the rubbish!
  • Don’t leave your clothes on the floor!

Perfect for learners who want to sound more natural and confident in everyday situations.

We hope you enjoy the episode! Please give us a follow and a rating if you are finding the Podcast useful to help us keep making more for you.
