Nouns beginning with a, ha
Feminine nouns that begin with a stressed a or the silent h followed by a stressed a take the masculine definite article el or the indefinite article un. The reason such nouns take the articles el and un is that it would be difficult to pronounce the two vowels – la a, una a together. Since the nouns are feminine, the plural articles las and unas are used and any adjective modifying the noun is in the feminine form.
