Usage notes[edit]
  • The feminine noun asa is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed /a/ sound in that it takes the articles el and un (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:
el asa
un asa
  • However, if an adjective, even one that begins with stressed /a/ such as alta or ancha, intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la or una.

asa

  1. Informal second-person singular (tú) affirmative imperative form of asar.
