This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al ara, del ara. This also applies to the indefinite article, which takes the form of un, which is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine form una also occurs): un ara or una ara. The same is true with determiners algún/alguna and ningún/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.) are used: la mejor ara, una buena ara. In these cases, el and un are not masculine but feminine, deriving from Latin illa and una, respectively, even though they are identical in form to the corresponding masculine singular articles. Thus, they are allomorphs of the feminine singular articles la and una. The use of these allomorphs does not change the gender agreement of the adjectives modifying the feminine noun: el ara única, un(a) ara buena. In the plural, the usual feminine plural articles and determiners (las, unas, etc.) are always used. ===== Derived terms ===== === Etymology 2 === ==== Verb ==== ara inflection of arar: third-person singular present indicative second-person singular imperative === Etymology 3 === ==== Noun ==== ara m (plural aras) (South America) ara (bird) === Further reading === “ara”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025 == Swedish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /²ɑːra/ Rhymes: -²ɑːra === Noun === ara c ara (macaw) Synonym: arapapegoja ==== Declension ==== ==== See also ==== papegoja (“parrot”) === References === “ara”, in Svensk ordbok [Dictionary of Swedish] (in Swedish) “ara”, in Svenska Akademiens ordlista [Wordlist of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) “ara”, in Svenska Akademiens ordbok [Dictionary of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) == Tahitian == === Etymology === From Proto-Polynesian *hala.
