Catalan Idiom Challenge: El Nacional.cat's Fun Street Interview
El Nacional.cat recently conducted a fun street interview in Catalonia, testing locals on their knowledge of common Catalan phrases. The video, which has already garnered significant views, focuses on three idioms: "fer escarafalls" (to exaggerate a complaint), "saber de quin peu calça algú" (to know someone well), and "buscar les pessigolles" (to deliberately annoy someone). One interviewee commented, "Fer escarafalls és com, t'ho diria, aviam... rebuscar-se les paraules," highlighting the nuanced understanding of the language. Another added, "Saber de quin peu calça algú vol dir conèixer aquella persona." The video's lighthearted approach makes learning about Catalan culture accessible and enjoyable, showing the richness and diversity of the language.
