### Noun

#### Usage notes

* Feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like arpa take the singular definite article el (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usual la: el arpa. This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al arpa, del arpa.
    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 arpa or una arpa. 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 arpa, una buena arpa.
* If an adjective follows the noun, it must agree with the noun's gender regardless of the article used: el arpa única, un(a) arpa buena.
* In the plural, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (las, unas etc.) are always used.

#### Derived terms

* arpa de boca
* arpa eólica
* arpista
