Usage notes

Feminine nouns beginning with stressed/ˈa/likearatake the singular definite articleel(otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usualla:elara.This includes the contracted formsalanddel(instead ofa laandde la,respectively):alara,delara.

These nouns also usually take the indefinite articleunthat is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine formunais also permitted):unaraorunaara.The same is true with determinersalgún/algunaandningún/ninguna,as well as for numerals ending with 1 (e.g.,veintiún/veintiuna).

However, if another word intervenes between the article and the noun, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (la,unaetc.) must be used:lamejor ara,unabuena ara.

If an adjective follows the noun, it must agree with the noun's gender regardless of the article used:elara única,un(a)ara buena.
In the plural, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (las,unasetc.) are always used.
