El and La – What are they?

Introduction Remember that in greetings, males say “encantado” and girls say “encantada” to mean delighted? Words ending with “o” are masculine and words ending with “a” are feminine. Lets expand this!

El and La “el” and “la” are Spanish articles that are placed before some nouns and words. El is the masculine article. La is the feminine article. Words ending with “a” will always have the feminine article “la” in front of the word. Words ending with any other letter will almost always have the masculine article “el” in front of the word. However, there are some rule breakers!
