Descans – Català; Ara i Sempre

Normally during the weekend I try to not work too much and sleep a little bit more than during the week, this in Catalan means Descans.  /dəskæns/
Yes, Descans is the same as Rest; the refreshing quiet of sleep or ease.
And I am sure you will try to do it as much as possible during the weekend, am I wrong?
This time, the quote doesn’t contain the word I am teaching, but it’s a quote we use always when someone goes to sleep. I really have no idea why we use these words, but if you ever go to a Catalan house, at night I am sure they will say to you…

Bona Nit i Tapa’t!
Good night and cover up!
