editUsage notes
edit- This article is nowadays an obsolete variant, unlike its illiquid counterpart a. It is currently used only in some restricted areas where it is still withheld in conversational communications.
- Today it is mostly used in crystallized contexts, such as singing, poetry or sayings and proverbs. In all these cases this definite article is more euphonetic than the variants, now predominant, which have undergone the lenition of the initial liquid consonant.
- Its use is however almost undisputed before nouns (or nominalized forms of other parts of speech, most often adjectives) that begin with vowels. In this case the form is an apocopic l'. Otherwise, illiquid definite articles are phonetically absorbed by the following noun. I.e: l'arancina (liquid) and ârancina (illiquid).

editEtymology
edit(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
Pronoun
editla
- these; class 6 proximal demonstrative.
Spanish
editPronunciation
editEtymology 1
editFrom Old Spanish ela, from Latin illa(m), feminine singular of ille.
Article
editla f sg (plural las, masculine el, masculine plural los)
- feminine singular definite article; the
Pronoun
editla
- accusative of ella, ello (when the antecedent's implied gender is feminine), and usted (when referring to a woman); her, it, you (formal)
- impersonal neuter pronoun (accusative) in certain colloquial phrases: it, this
- La sabe toda.
- He/she knows everything (it all)
- ¿¡Dónde la viste!?
- Where did you see that!?
- No te la creo.
- I don't believe you. (from, "I don't believe you [when it comes to] this.")
Usage notes
edit- Sometimes used where English would prefer a possessive: tengo algo en la bolsa (literally “I have something in the bag”) as opposed to tengo algo en mi bolsa (“I have something in my bag”). This is especially true with body parts and with articles of clothing or similar accessories.
- Where a feminine noun begins with stressed (h)a-, though not common, el is used instead: el alma, el águila, el hacha. (The article remains la where an adjective intervenes between the article and the noun: la majestuosa águila.) The plural remains las.
