Ik zat een tijd geleden in de metro in Amsterdam en hoorde ineens ‘ewa sahbi,ara die garo’ (‘hé, vriend, geef me die sigaret’). Bijna helemaal in het Marokkaans-Arabisch. En ik draai me om en ik zie allemaal witte jongens.
I was on the Amsterdam underground some time ago and suddenly I heard “ewa sahbi, ara die garo” (“Hey, friend,give me that cigarette”). Almost entirely in Moroccan Arabic. And I turn around and all I see are white boys.

FromProto-Ugric*arɜ(“maternal relative”,“mother’s (younger) brother”),[1] probably a Proto-Iranian borrowing, compareAvestan𐬠𐬭𐬁𐬙𐬀𐬭(brātar),Ossetianӕрвадӕ(ærvadæ,“brother”). The ending-a in Hungarian may be a diminutive or a third-person singular possessive suffix. It gained its current meaning during theHungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries.[2]

“And would anyone adore the divinity of Juno afterward, or [as a] suppliant [worshiper] lay an offeringon [my]altars?” (Juno is asking herself a rhetorical question.)

Feminine nouns beginning with stressed/ˈa/ likeara take the singular definite articleel (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usualla:el ara. This includes the contracted formsal anddel (instead ofa la andde la, respectively):al ara,del ara. This is to avoid doubling of the /a/ sound.
These nouns also usually take the indefinite articleun that is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine formuna is also permitted):un ara oruna ara. The same is true with determinersalgún/alguna andningún/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.
