Pronunciation[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Noun[edit]
agüita f (plural agüitas)
- diminutive of agua; a small amount of water
Usage notes[edit]
- agua is a feminine noun, but the masculine definite article is used because it starts with a stressed a: el agua. Its diminutive, agüita, stresses the second syllable, so the feminine definite article is used as with any other ordinary feminine noun: la agüita.
Etymology 2[edit]
See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form.
Verb[edit]
agüita
- only used in se agüita, third-person singular present indicative of agüitarse
