It gained its current meaning during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries.[2]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈaɾa/
  • Rhymes: -aɾa
  • Syllabification: a‧ra

Etymology 1

From Latin āra.

Noun

ara f (plural aras)

  1. altar
Usage notes
  • Feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like ara take the singular definite article el (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usual la: el ara. This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al ara, del ara.
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 ara or una ara. 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 ara, una buena ara.
  • If an adjective follows the noun, it must agree with the noun's gender regardless of the article used: el ara única, un(a) ara buena.
  • In the plural, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (las, unas etc.) are always used.
