[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.] Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others. Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs. When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library. We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances. For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you". A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must itself be a software library. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library. 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License. However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.) b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution. d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place. e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute. 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License). To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. Copyright (C) This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more details.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary.

Currently the DACCO project (that generated the files in this Github repository) seems to be unmaintained. There is [https://www.catalandictionary.org/](http://www.catalandictionary.org/) website as a Web frontend. [qdacco](https://github.com/cpina/qdacco), a maintained application, provides an interface to the dictionary (on GNU/Linux).

Aquests verbs es tradueixen en anglès per verbs transitius que regeixen com a complement verbal l'infinitiu 'to'.No s'atreveixen a presentar-se.They don't dare to show up / they dare not show up.S'han decidit a comprar el terreny.They've decided to buy the lot.Es nega a ajudar-nos.He refuses to help us.[a + infinitiu] toExcepcions: el gir 'tornar + a + verb' es tradueix en anglès per 'verb + again' (p.e., Aquestes nevades poden tornar a tancar les carreteres > These snowstorms might close the highways again).Exception: 'tornar + a + verb' is translated by 'verb + again' (e.g. Aquestes nevades poden tornar a tancar les carreteres > These snowstorms might close the highways again).No hi ha res a fer.There's nothing to do.Això no té res a veure amb el que deia.This doesn't have anything to do with what he was saying.Vols aprendre a fer pàgines web?Do you want to learn to make web pages?Fa una hora ha començat a ploure.It started to rain an hour ago. ababol0408(red) poppy àbac0405abacus abacà0707Manila hempcànem de Manila abacial0408abbatial / abbeyEsglésia abacial.Abbey church. abadejo0208pollock abadessa0906abbess abadia0205abbey abaixament0606lowering abaixar0205to lowerLa promesa electoral del partit d'<b>abaixar</b> els impostos era totalment falsa.La nota final de l'examen pot <b>abaixar-se</b> de mig punt quan els problemes ortogràfics siguin especialment greus. abaixar la guàrdia to let your guard down abalançar-se0408to rush towards (someone) / to hurl yourself at (someone) / to hurtle towards (someone) / to charge (a group of people) / to rush (a group of people) / to jump on (someone)to lean on abanderar0313to register (a ship)Literally 'to give a flag (bandera) to' because ships sail under the flag of the country in which they were registered.to champion (a cause or plan) / to lead abanderat0313flag bearerleader / championabanderada abandóabandonment / neglectwithdrawal / retirement abandonament0405abandonmentneglectwithdrawal taxa d'abandonament dropout rate abandonarto leaveEs prohibeix <b>abandonar</b> residus fora dels recipients destinats a escombraries.Quan tenia 18 anys, Francois va haver d'<b>abandonar</b> la seva França natal per motius laborals.A primera hora del matí vaig <b>abandonar</b> la capital i vaig emprendre camí cap al nord.to abandonLes campanyes de sensibilització per no <b>abandonar</b> els animals domèstics no tenen el suficient èxit.Els reservistes decidien <b>abandonar</b> les seves posicions i tornaven a casa.to give upUn 45,5% dels fumadors volen <b>abandonar</b> el tabac quan entri en vigor la llei.Totes les unitats de l'IRA han rebut l'ordre d'<b>abandonar</b> les armes.to pull out / to withdrawEl pilot ha hagut d'<b>abandonar</b> la cursa en la volta 31 del circuit després d'haver trencat el motor del seu Subaru. abandonat0505abandoned / desertedneglectedabandonada abansbefore / beforehand abans d'ahir the day before yesterday abans de tot first off / first of all / firstly abans que rather than abans que res first off / first of all / firstly<b>Abans que res</b> hola a tothom, és el primer cop que participo en aquest fòrum!above all<b>Abans que res</b> volien la llibertat.Un nen superdotat és un nen <b>abans que res</b> i se sent també com un nen. abaratimentlowering / reduction (of prices / costs / expenses) abaratirto reduce / to lower (prices / costs / expenses) abarrotar0406to pack / to fill / to cram abarrotat0413[~ de] filled (with) / full (of) / packed (with) / jam-packed (with)abarrotada abàsia0407abasia abastreachextent a l'abast within reach / close at hand donar l'abast to manageNo dono l'abast (tinc massa coses per fer i no puc fer-les totes).I can't manage (I have too many things to do and can't do them all).Com t'ho fas per donar l'abast?

En altres casos, quan 'arribar' vol dir 'anar a un lloc o venir d'un lloc', es tradueix en anglès de la manera següent: get here (arribar aquí), get there (arribar allà), get home (arribar a casa), get to + lloc (arribar a un lloc). Encara que aquestes construccions no són generalment imprescindibles —és a dir, l'ús del verb arrive no seria incorrecte—, val la pena familiaritzar-s'hi.to get (somewhere)No vaig arribar a casa fins a les quatre de la matinada.I didn't get home until four in the morning.Sempre arriba tard a la feina.She always gets to work late.to reachL'escala no arriba fins a la teulada.The ladder doesn't reach up to the roof.Em pots baixar aquest pot de mel?

Catalan has one word 'melmelada' that covers both 'jam' and 'marmalade'. If a character in a Catalan exam paper is eating 'melmelada', it is likely to be jam. In addition, those who prepare Catalan exam papers are a perverse lot and so such characters have a particular preference for 'melmelada de prunes' - plum (NOT prune) jam (NOT marmalade).

'Oi' is a handy little Catalan word that is used to get someone to agree with what you've just said. It functions in much the same way as the French 'N'est ce pas?', covering a multitude of more wordy English options that vary according to context such as 'don't they?', 'isn't that right?', 'aren't we?' etc.... 'Oi' can also be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. 'Oi que ho heu entès?', 'Oi que és un fet curiós?') and in the expression 'Oi que sí?' (e.g. 'El formatge és molt bo.

only through our noses.Cal esmentar les excepcions següents: la preposició 'per' es tradueix en anglès per 'by' en els girs 'per mar' i 'per terra' (by sea i by land) i per 'along' quan s'usa davant el nom d'una via (carrer, camí, carretera, etc.). Exemples: En el segle divuit era perillós viatjar per mar > It was dangerous to travel by sea in the eighteenth century; Anaven amb cotxe per la carretera > They were driving along the highway.Exceptions: The preposition 'per' is translated as 'by' in the expressions 'per mar' and 'per terra' ('by sea' and 'by land') and by 'along' when used before the name of a road. Examples: En el segle divuit era perillós viatjar pel mar > It was dangerous to travel by sea in the eighteenth century. Anaven amb cotxe per la carretera > They were driving along the highway.[per + infinitiu, que denota causa, bescanvi o preu] for + (gerundi)Com a regla pràctica podem dir que, a grans trets, quan en castellà la preposició seria 'para', en anglès volem l'infinitiu 'to', sense cap preposició; en canvi, quan en castellà la preposició seria 'por', en anglès volem la preposició 'for' més el gerundi.Em

'Xarnego' is applied to people of Spanish origin belonging to the working class or lower-middle class who are reluctant to use Catalan or to appreciate Catalan culture and customs as they *should*. No foreign (i.e. non-Spanish) person can be called a 'xarnego'. Sometimes the term is still used in its old sense, referring to people of 'mixed' origin.

Many native Catalan speakers, (e.g. those from Lleida), don't use the neutral vowel either). 2. the use of an unvoiced 's' instead of voiced 's' (e.g. instead of 'els' being pronounced 'alz', it is pronounced 'alsss'). In addition, the letter 'j' is often pronounced like an 'i' (e.g. 'injecció' is pronounced 'iniacsió')somebody who speaks 'xava' xaval0205lad (xaval) / young boy (xaval) / lass (xavala) / young girl (xavala) / kid (xaval o xavala)xavala xavalla0505small change / loose change / spare change / shrapnel (col.loq) / coppers (Br.) xec0205cheque (Br.) / check (Am.) xec bancari banker's draft (Br.) / cashier's check (Am.) xec en blanc blank cheque (Br.) / blank check (Am.) xeic0205sheik xef0505chef xellí(person / people) from Xellarelating to Xella or its peoplexellinsxellina xelvà(person / people) from Xelvarelating to Xelva or its peoplexelvansxelvana xemeneia0708fireplace / hearthchimneychantergrallA 'chanter' is a part of a bagpipe. xenó0508xenon xenòfob0205xenophobicxenòfoba xenofòbia0205xenophobia xerà(person / people) from Xerarelating to Xera or its peoplexeransxerana xeraquer(person / people) from Xeracorelating to Xeraco or its peoplexeraquera xerès0205sherry xeremies0708bagpipe(s)gaita, sac de gemecs, bot (de gemecs), manxa borrega, cornamusa xeresà(person / people) from Xeresarelating to Xeresa or its peoplexeresansxeresana xericà(person / people) from Xèricarelating to Xèrica or its peoplexericansxericana xeringa0205syringexeringues xerrac0112sawrattletraditional, wooden, Mallorcan percussion instrument xerrada0505talk / chatinformal lecture / briefing xerradissa0905chatter xerrador0305chatterbox talkativexerraire xerraire0610chatterbox talkativexerrador xerrameca0505chatter Estava tipa de sentir tanta <b>xerrameca</b>.

If you are in fact looking to translate 'albeit' into Catalan be very careful.

Però, no sempre són sinònims. A més del fet que 'large' és més formal que 'big', i que 'big' s'utilitza habitualment per a referir-se a les persones (per ex.: 'She's a big girl', 'His friend is very big'), hi ha moltes altres diferències súbtils. Assenyalar totes aquestes diferències ultrapassa l'abast d'aquest diccionari però us donem alguns substantius que sempre van acompanyats de 'big' (big boss, big breath, big brother, big decision, big favour, big grin, big hit, big problem, big sigh, big sister, big smile, big yawn). gros big up encomiar / enaltir alguna cosa (o algú) (potser més del que es mereix)Podcasting went mainstream when the BBC <b>bigged it up</b> and Apple integrated it into iTunes.If you ask me, there's too much hype around it.

El complot va ser descobert i els conspiradors van ser executats. Cada any al 5 de novembre els anglesos celebren aquest fet històric amb focs artificials i fogueres. Molt sovint els nens fabriquen un 'guy (fawkes)' que és un efígie que cremen a la foguera.

Avui dia és molt habitual sentir la paraula 'envy' utilitzada amb un sustantiu (x) just abans per significar 'enveja del x d'una altra persona que és més gran / fort etc. del teu' (per exemple: 'stroller envy', 'deck envy', 'grill envy', 'jeep envy').

'Hire' vol dir 'llogar' però durant un període de temps relativament curt. Per aquesta raó, es diu 'hire a car', 'hire a boat', 'hire a video' o 'hire a bike', però NO es diu 'hire a flat' o 'hire a house'. Es diu 'rent a flat' i 'rent a house'. Amb el sentit de 'llogar', 'to hire' s'utilitza molt més a l'anglès britànic que no pas a l'anglès americà. Els americans tendeixen a utilitzar el verb 'to rent'. Mentre que als aeroports britànics els senyals 'lloguer de cotxes' diuen 'car hire', als EUA diuen 'car rental'. rent contractar'Contractar' means 'to hire' as in 'to employ someone'. employ hire out llogar hired man jornaler hirsutehirsut hirsutismhirsutisme Hispanichispànic hissy1208marraneria / rabiola / enrabiadaTambé 'hissy fit'.paddy, tantrum histological1007histològic histology1007histologia historianhistoriador historic0108històric historicalhistòric historicallyhistòricament historiography0108historiografia historyhistòriahistoriesantecedents the rest is history la resta és cosa sabuda histrionic1012histriònic / dramàtic / teatral histrionically1012de manera (o forma) histriònica histrionics1012histrionisme hithithithitting0508pegar / colpejarencertarxocar / topar contra hit back tornar un cop / respondre a una acció hostil amb una acció semblanttornar un cop (a algú) / respondre a una acció hostil amb una acció semblant hit on mostrar (a algú) atenció sexual (sovint importuna) hit up demanar préstec (a algú)Sintaxi: to hit somebody up for a loan. hit upon acudir-se (una idea) èxitHit single.Cançó d’èxit.Hit parade.Llista d'èxits.copimpacte / blancpetició de fitxer / ocurrència hit the roof perdre els estreps hit the headlines ésser notícia hitchfer autoestopconnectar temporalment (sobretot un remolc a un vehicle) entrebancestri (per a connectar una cosa a una altra) hitch up arromangar / arremangarShe <b>hitched up</b> her skirt and walked along the water's edge. to get hitched casar-setie the knot, get spliced (Br.) hitch-hikehitchhikefer autoestop hitchhikerautoestopista hitchhikingautoestop hi techd'alta tecnologia hithertofins aquí / fins araOxford University Press are planning to release a collection of <b>hitherto</b> unpublished works by Mark Twain. hit list1012llista negra hitman1012assassí a sou / sicarihitmen HIVHuman Immunodeficiency Virus VIHVirus d'Immunodeficiència Humana HIV test prova del VIH hive1007ruscarnauticària HIV negativeVIH negatiu HIV positiveVIH positiu hiyaholahi!

Però, no sempre són sinònims. A més del fet que 'large' és més formal que 'big' hi ha moltes altres diferències súbtils. Senyalar totes les diferències ultrapassa l'abast d'aquest diccionari, però es pot dir que quan es parla d'una quantitat, molt sovint l'únic adjectiu que pots utilitzar és 'large' (per exemple: large amount of, large number(s) of, large proportion, large quantity of, large scale, large volumes of).

Normalment, són els adversaris del grup o els periodistes els que fan ús de la paraula. El substantiu s'utilitza sobretot en expressions que inclouen un modificador (per exemple: 'the environmental lobby', 'the nuclear lobby'). Normalment no s'utilitza genèricament o en plural. L'expressió 'pressure group', per contra, no les mateixes restriccions.lobbies fer pressió lobbyist0209lobbista lobe1007lòbul lobotomise0413lobotomitzarlobotomize lobotomize0413lobotomitzar lobotomy0809lobotomia lobsterllagostaSpiny lobsterLlamàntol locallocallocalitzattòpic / localLocal anesthetic.Anestèsic local (o tòpic).topical pub (més proper del teu veïnat)la gent del país / els veïns local call trucada metropolitana (de telèfon) localise1007localitzarlocalize localize1007localitzar locallylocalment locate1007localitzarubicar locationlloc / paratge / emplaçamentsituació / orientació / ubicació locatedsituat / ubicatsituated locavore0309persona que només menja aliments de fonts locals (generalment els que es produeixen en un radi de 100 milles o sigui 160 quilòmetres) lochllac(en Escòcia) locktancar (amb clau) pany[on a canal] resclosa lock away tancar amb clau (alguna cosa, en un lloc segur) lock down tancar amb seguretat (un ordinador / un edifici..) lock in tancar (algú) amb clau (en un lloc) lock out tancar (algú) fora (d'un lloc) lock up empresonar / arrestar lock gate comporta lockdownconfinament locker1112armariet locket0513medalló lockout0114tancament patronal / locaut locksmith0710manyà locomotive0407locomotora locum(metge) suplent locustllagosta locution1112elocució lodging0408allotjament loftentresolat / edifici readaptatloft'Loft' is widely used but 'entresolat' and 'edifici readaptat' are the terms recommended by Termcat.[golf] elevació lofty1112pompós / ostentós log1007tronc[for the fire] tióquadern de bitàcola log in iniciar una sessióentrar (en un sistema informàtic)log on log off finalitzar una sessiórsortir (d'un sistema informàtic)log out log on iniciar una sessióentrar (en un sistema informàtic)log in log out finalitzar una sessiósortir (d'un sistema informàtic)log off logarithm0809logaritme logger1108llenyataire / abatedor / picador / talladorwood(s)man, lumberjack logiclògica logicallògic logicallylògicament logisticlogístic logística logisticallogístic logistically0909logísticament logologotip / logo / dibuix de la marca loinllom loitergandulejar loll0309arrepapar-se / escarxofar-seThese two verbs mean specifically to loll (or lounge) in a chair. lollipop0909pirulí / xupa-xupspiruletalolly (Br.), sucker (Am.) lollipop lady dona que ajuda els escolars a travessar el carrercrossing guard lollipop man home que ajuda els escolars a travessar el carrercrossing guard lollypirulí / xupa-xupspiruletalollipopsuckergelat de palpopsicleice lollylolliespasta LondonLondreslondinenc Londonerlondinenc London weightinguna prima que es paga a la gent que viu i treballa a Londres ja que el cost de la vida és molt més alt allí que a la resta del país.

En aquests casos, off és a vegades, però no sempre, sinònim de away.She got in her car and drove off without speakingElla pujà al cotxe i se'n va anar sense parlarHe was only here a moment, then he hurried offElla pujà al cotxe i se'n va anar sense parlarThe queen sent the explorers off to discover new landsLa reina envià els exploradors a descobrir noves terresThe Vikings invaded England and carried off all the silver and goldEls viquings van envair Anglaterra i s'endugueren tota la plata i l'orfora de lloc, no tocantQuan la combinació verb+off significa fora de lloc, no tocant, l'adverbi generalment no es tradueix en català, sinó que dóna al verb un sentit de separar-se d'alguna cosa. Per tant, en alguns contextos, una traducció literal en català podria ser separar-se+gerundi, on el gerundi és la traducció del verb anglès. Per exemple, break off separar-se trencant, drop/fall off separar-se caient, bite off separar-se mossegant, cut off separar-se tallant, etc. Ara bé, aquestes traduccions literals no són gaire aconsellables, ja que no formen part de la llengua viva, i el que cal fer en cada cas és traduir la locució anglesa verb+off per la locució catalana més apta. Un sentit afí és el de treure's alguna peça del vestuari.A button has dropped offS'ha descosit del tot un botóThe hands of the watch have fallen offLes busques del rellotge s'han desmuntatHe had two fingers cut offEs va tallar (o se li van tallar) dos ditsShe eagerly ripped off the wrappingElla va arrencar amb ganes el paper d'embolicarYou should take off your hat in the presence of a ladyHauries de treure't el barret en presència d'una damaShe hurriedly pulled off her gloves and tore off her coatAmb pressa ella va treure's els guants i l'abricI like walking on the beach with my shoes offM'agrada caminar per la platja descalçindicant separació, allunyament o la idea de no sobreNotem que, en el sentit de separació, allunyament o no sobre, el mot off també s'usa com a preposició. A més, quan l'adverbi off s'empra en aquest sentit, s'hi sobreentén un complement.He stood for a moment on the bridge, then dove offS'estigué un moment al pont, després es capbussàHe was trying to walk along the fence but fell offIntentava de caminar per sobre de la tanca, però caiguéinterrompent, desconnectantWhat time do you get off?A quina hora plegues?All the lights had been turned offS'havien apagat tots els llumsminvant, desapareixentThe pain is wearing offEl dolor està minvantThey've finished off the beerS'han begut tota la cervesa on the off chance per si de cas / per atzarThe sun was shining, but I brought an umbrella <b>on the off chance</b> that it might rain. off colour malaltYou look a little <b>off colour</b> today. offalmenuts off-colorverdOff-color jokesAcudits verdsblue off-duty0110fora de serveiAn off-duty policemanUn policia fora de servei offence0309ofensacrim / delicteoffense cause offence ofendre give offence ofendre to take offence (at something) ofendre's (per alguna cosa)to be offended (by something) offendofendrecometre un delicte (o crim) / delinquir to be offended (by something) ofendre's (per alguna cosa)to take offence (at something) offense0309ofensacrim / delicteoffencejoc ofensiujugadors ofensius cause offense ofendre give offense ofendre take offense (at something) ofendre's (per alguna cosa) offensiveofensiu ofensiva offensive foul falta personal en atac go on the offensive passar a l'ofensiva offer1007oferir offer up oferir a Déu (una pregària, un sacrifici, etc.)oferir / presentar ofertaoferiment offeringofrena officeoficinadespatxgabinet'Gabinet' refers specifically to the office of a professional such as a lawyer or a doctor. office automation ofimàtica / buròticaOffice automation toolsEines ofimàtiques office building edifici d'oficines officialoficial oficial officiallyoficialment officiateoficiar offlinefora de línia off-roadtot terreny / quatre-per-quatre (4x4) off-roadertot terreny / quatre-per-quatre (4x4) offsetoffsetoffsetoffsettingcompensarCompanies may <b>offset</b> losses incurred abroad against domestic earnings. compensaciódesfasamentòfset'òfset' means 'offset' as in 'offset printing'. offshootderivació / conseqüència"Grime" is the much-touted British <b>offshoot</b> of American rap.Researchers find troubling <b>offshoot</b> of schizophrenia.

For this reason we have chosen to give a Castilian 'equivalent' to make the meaning clear to Catalan speakers.

Exemples: substitució de whom per who quan aquell fa de complement directe - Who did you see? (més col·loquial que Whom did you see?) A qui vas veure?. Substitució de whom per who quan aquell fa de complement preposicional - Who do they agree with? (més col·loquial que With whom do they agree?). Amb qui estan d'acord?. L'ús més important de l'interrogatiu whom és en contextos formals quan es vol assolir un to elevat o bé quan el complement de la frase, directe o preposicional, és llarg o complex. Exemples: To whom was the President alluding? A qui al- ludia el president? For whom do our leaders suppose we are mourning?

Instead, you would use a Catalan verb in the future tense. 'Will' és un verb auxiliar que s'utilitza en anglès per formar el temps futur (per exemple: 'I <b>will</b> go when I am ready', 'He <b>will</b> speak to her this evening') o per formular una pregunta (per exemple: '<b>Will</b> you help me?', '<b>Will</b> you shut up for goodness sake?!'). Cobrir plenament aquest sentit 'gramàtic' de la paraula en un diccionari com aquest és una tasca molt difícil, però esperem afegir unes notes més profundes en un futur proper. willful0209intencionat / premeditatWillful damageDanys intencionatstestarrut / obstinat / tossut / caparrutheadstrongwilful willfully0209intencionadament / premeditadamenttossudament / obstinadament / testarrudamentwilfully willing0110disposat / voluntariós / volenterós willinglygustosament / de bon grat / de bona gana / molt de grat / amb (molt de) gust willingnessbona voluntat / bona disposició willowsalze willytitolawillies'Willy' és una paraula infantívola.wiener [something] to give (somebody) the willies donar esgarrifancesThat picture gives me the willies.Aquest quadre em dóna esgarrifances. willy-nillya tort i a drettant sí com no / tant si vols com si no vols / de grat o per força / vulgues no vulgues / vulguis o no wily0708murri / astutcrafty, cunning wimpporuc / cagat / nyicrisUn(a) 'wimp' pot ser una persona a qui li falta coratge o una persona (físicament) feble.Patrick couldn't even lift Jessica's suitcase down the stairs.

'Tu' = singular, familiar form (used with individual friends, acquaintances, contemporaries and younger people). 'Vosaltres' = plural, familiar form (same people as with 'tu' but used when speaking to more than one of them at once). 'Vostè' = singular, polite form (used with individual older people or people you need to show a bit of respect to). 'Vostès' = plural, polite form (same people as 'vostè', but when addressing more than one). To an English speaker this can be kind of confusing at first, but don't fret too much, to our knowledge there are no recorded cases of any Catalans going ballistic and beating foreign speakers to death for picking the wrong one ;-) et / -te / t' / 't / us / -vos / es / -se / s' / 's youngjove young offendermenor infractor youngsterjove yourel teu / la teva / els teus / les tevesel vostre / la vostra / el vostresel seu / la seva / els seus / les seves yours1009el teu / la teva / els teus / les tevesel vostre / la vostra / el vostresel seu / la seva / els seus / les sevesatentament / cordialmentDear Sir, .....
