### Usage notes

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