Etymology 1Edit

From Latin āra.

NounEdit

ara f (plural aras)

  1. altar
Usage notesEdit
  • The feminine noun ara is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed /a/ sound in that it takes the articles el and un (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:
el ara
un ara
  • However, if an adjective, even one that begins with stressed /a/ such as alta or ancha, intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la or una.
