Noun

asa f (plural asas)

1. handle

Usage notes

• The feminine noun asa is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed a sound in that it takes the definite article el (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:

el asa

• However, if an adjective, even one that begins with a stressed a sound such as alta or ancha, intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la.

Verb

asa

1. Informal second-person singular (tú) affirmative imperative form of asar.
2. Formal second-person singular (usted) present indicative form of asar.
3. Third-person singular (él, ella, also used with usted^?) present indicative form of asar.
