Usage notes

edit
  • Feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like asta take the singular definite article el (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usual la: el asta. This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al asta, del asta.
These nouns also usually take the indefinite article un that is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine form una is also permitted): un asta or una asta. The same is true with determiners algún/alguna and ningún/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, una etc.) must be used: la mejor asta, una buena asta.
  • If an adjective follows the noun, it must agree with the noun's gender regardless of the article used: el asta única, un(a) asta buena.
  • In the plural, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (las, unas etc.) are always used.
