editNoun
editagüita f (plural agüitas)
- diminutive of agua; a small amount of water
Usage notes
edit- agua is a feminine noun, but the masculine definite article is used because it starts with a stressed a: el agua. Its diminutive, agüita, stresses the second syllable, so the feminine definite article is used as with any other ordinary feminine noun: la agüita.
