Provenís

Provenís is a verb form in the Catalan language. It functions as the second-person singular present indicative of the verb provenir, which means to come from or to originate. This form is used when addressing the informal subject you (tu) to indicate origin or source, as in statements or questions about where someone comes from.

Grammatical notes: Provenís carries an acute accent on the i, which helps mark its stress pattern and distinguishes it from other related forms. It is part of standard Catalan and appears in dialects across the Catalan-speaking areas, including Central Catalan and Valencian varieties. The infinitive is provenir, and the stem in the present tense is proven-.

Usage and examples: It is commonly used with a de-phrase to specify origin, such as Provenís d'Itàlia (You come from Italy). It is also used in questions about origin: D'on provenís? (Where are you from?). Other examples include statements about location of origin or formation, depending on context and sentence structure.
