The Catalan word "era" means "threshing floor" or refers to "era" as a period of time in English.


In this sentence, 'era' denotes an open space or area used for agricultural purposes, such as threshing grain.

L'avi treballava a l'era cada matí.

The grandfather worked in the threshing floor every morning.


Here, 'era' serves as the third person singular form of the verb 'ser' (to be) in the imperfect tense, indicating past habitual or ongoing state.

Aquella era una època molt tranquil·la.

That was a very peaceful period.


In this instance, 'era' again refers to an open area, commonly in an agricultural or rural context, but the focus is on its transformation during the season.

A l'estiu, l'era s'omplia de flors.

In summer, the threshing floor filled with flowers.
