Spanish
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Inherited from Old Spanish fabla, from Latin fābula (“discourse”). Compare fábula, a borrowed doublet.
Noun
[edit]habla f (plural hablas)
Usage notes
[edit]- Feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like habla take the singular definite article el (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usual la: el habla. This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al habla, del habla.
- These nouns also usually take the indefinite article un that is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine form una is also permitted): un habla or una habla. 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.) must be used: la mejor habla, una buena habla.
- If an adjective follows the noun, it must agree with the noun's gender regardless of the article used: el habla única, un(a) habla buena.
- In the plural, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (las, unas etc.) are always used.
