[edit]Usage notes
[edit]- This article is nowadays an obsolete variant, unlike its illiquid counterpart a. It is currently used only in some restricted areas where it is still withheld in conversational communications.
- Today it is mostly used in crystallized contexts, such as singing, poetry or sayings and proverbs. In all these cases this definite article is more euphonetic than the variants, now predominant, which have undergone the lenition of the initial liquid consonant.
- Its use is however almost undisputed before nouns (or nominalized forms of other parts of speech, most often adjectives) that begin with vowels. In this case the form is an apocopic l'. Otherwise, illiquid definite articles are phonetically absorbed by the following noun. I.e: l'arancina (liquid) and ârancina (illiquid).

Pronoun
[edit]la

- La sabe toda.
- He/she knows everything (it all)
- ¿¡Dónde la viste!?
- Where did you see that!?
- No te la creo.
- I don't believe you. (from, "I don't believe you [when it comes to] this.")
Usage notes
[edit]- Sometimes used where English would prefer a possessive: tengo algo en la bolsa (literally “I have something in the bag”) as opposed to tengo algo en mi bolsa (“I have something in my bag”). This is especially true with body parts and with articles of clothing or similar accessories.
- Where a feminine noun begins with stressed (h)a-, though not common, el is used instead: el alma, el águila, el hacha. (The article remains la where an adjective intervenes between the article and the noun: la majestuosa águila.) The plural remains las.

- A subject may be placed between la and the verb.
- The third-person imperatives using la (e.g. la teeb) are more common than the forms using -ko(d) (tehko).
- Forming second-person imperatives with la is theoretically possible, but practically never done; the inflected imperative forms are used instead.
