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