• Feminine nouns beginning with stressed/ˈa/ likeabra take the singular definite articleel (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usualla:el abra. This includes the contracted formsal anddel (instead ofa la andde la, respectively):al abra,del abra. 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 abra oruna abra. 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 abra,una buena abra.

• If an adjective follows the noun, it must agree with the noun's gender regardless of the article used:el abra única,un(a) abra buena.
• In the plural, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (las,unas etc.) are always used.

• → English:abra
• → Tagalog:abra
