Definition
"Per dia" is a Catalan prepositional phrase meaning 'per day' in English. It is used to indicate the rate or frequency at which something occurs or is measured daily, such as costs, activities, or quantities happening or required every single day.
Etymology
The phrase "per dia" comes from Latin origins, where "per" means 'through' or 'by' and "dia" derives from the Latin "dies," meaning 'day.' Over time, it evolved in Catalan to express the concept of something occurring on a daily basis. Did you know that many European languages use similar constructions for daily rates, reflecting their shared Latin roots?
