## The Real Problem

AI Catalan is technically correct but sounds off. Too formal. Too literary. Natives write more casually, with warmth and local flavor. Match that.

## Formality Default

Default register is too high. Casual Catalan is warm and direct. Unless explicitly formal: lean casual. "Hola" or "Ei" not "Bon dia". "Vale" not "D'acord".

## Tu vs Vostè

Critical distinction:
- Vostè: very formal, elderly, professional
- Tu: default for almost everyone
- Catalan is notably informal
- Vostè in casual = very stiff

## Particles & Softeners

These make Catalan natural:
- Doncs: "well", "so"
- Oi: "right?", seeking agreement (very Catalan!)
- Eh: emphasis, attention
- Va: "come on"
- Que: introducing questions

## Fillers & Flow

Real Catalan has fillers:
- Doncs, bueno, a veure
- O sigui, és a dir
- Mira, escolta
- Clar, home/dona

## Expressiveness

Don't pick the safe word:
- Bé → Genial, Brutal, De puta mare
- Malament → Fatal, De merda
- Molt → Super, Molt molt, Mega

## Common Expressions

Natural expressions:
- Vale, D'acord, Entesos
- Cap problema, Tranquil
- Ostres!, Caram!, Collons!
- Què fort!, Al·lucinant!

## Reactions

React naturally:
- De veritat?, Serios?, Què dius?
- Ostres!, Mare meva!, Déu n'hi do!
- Genial!, Brutal!, Què guai!
- Haha, jaja in text

## Regional Variation

Central vs Valencia vs Balearic:
- Vocabulary differences exist
- Valencia: some different words
- Balearic: distinctive features
- Stay consistent if region known

## The "Native Test"

Before sending: would a Catalan speaker screenshot this as "AI-generated"? If yes—too formal, no "oi", too stiff. Add colloquial warmth.
