A question about Spanish! 10 POINTS!?

Question

Hi, I have a question about Spanish for those who can speak influently out there.

I was doing my homework, and I got confused with couple words (or whatever you call them)

I want to know the difference between (Las,Los,El,La)

Las- as (i.e. Las Piernas-legs)

Los- as (i.e. Los ojos-eyes)

La- as (i.e. La Cara-face)

El- as (i.e. El Cuello-neck)

I just gave you some examples so that you know how it is used.

So please explain clearly to me so that I don't get confused between those four.

I am sure they are somewhat different.

Thank you so much for your attention.

and 10 points are waiting for you~!

Answer 1

Las, los, la, and el are basically the same thing and they all mean "the".

the only difference is that if the noun is like female and plural u say Las but if it is female and singular u just use La.

and if the noun is male and plurar u say Los but if it is male and singular u use El if u dont get it just aim me

Answer 2

las and la are used to described feminine objects (usually end in "as" or "a") ie la rosa las tiendas

la is singular.... only one

las is plural... more than one

la rosa... one rose

las rosas... more than one rose

the same thing for Los and El except it is masculine...

los.. plural

el... singular

masuline objects are usually end in "o"  'e" or "es"

el diente (one tree)

los dientes (multiple teeth)

el zapato (one shoe)

los zapatos (multiple shoes)

Answer 3

1. yes they are called words HAHAHA

Ok, so

the plural (when there's more than one) form of "el" is "los"

"los ojos". They're masculine and there's more than one.

and

the plural form of "la" is "las".

You just need to remember

lonley= el

many= los

lonley= la

many=las

Answer 4

They all mean "the".  The only difference is the nouns they modify.

All adjectives, including determiners, must match in number and gender, the nouns they modify.

And you only need to have studied Spanish for about a week to know that.  And there is no such word as influently.  Oh!  Wait!  As in not fluently....I get it!  Ha!

Answer 5

from what i remember of spanish, the Las and La refer to feminie items, and Los and El refer to male.....but it has to do with how the other word ends....

Answer 6

They all mean "the"

La is the feminine form (when a word ends in -a usually)   one kitchen = la cosina

El is the masculine form (when the word ends pretty much anything else)    one book = el libro

Las is the plural feminine.  For example, if you're talking about multiple kitchens you would say "las cosinas"

Los is the plural masculine.  Multiple books "los libros"

As you get more proficient in spanish you'll start to get a feel for which words are masculine and feminine.  Eventually, you will be able to figure out (usually) if you should use "la" or "el" even with a word you haven't seen before.

Answer 7

They are all different ways of saying the english word "the".

"el" is used for singular masculine words such as el apperitivo (the appetizer).

"los" is used for plural masculine words such as los trabajos (the jobs).

"la" is used for singular feminine words such as la mar (the sea).

"las" is used for plural feminine words such as las muchachas (the girls).

Hope that helped!

Answer 8

La - feminine singular.

(Used with feminine nouns when there is only one subject.)

Las - feminine plural.

(Used with feminine nouns where there is more than one subject.)

El - masculine singular.

(Used with masculine nouns when there is only one subject)

Los - masculine plural.

(Used with masculine nouns where there are multiple subjects.)

Sorry if I didn't explain that very well, I know more Latin than Spanish, but that's the best way I can explain it.

Answer 9

Las = 'the' for Plural Feminine words

Los = 'the' for Plural Masculaine words

El = 'the' for Singular Masculaine words

La = 'the' for Singular Feminine words

Hoped this helped!

Answer 10

If the object (i.e. eyes, legs) is plural (means there're more than one of them), then you use "las" as "the" for the feminine object, which usually (but not always) ends with the letter "a". Example: legs is a plural object, and so you use las piernas for the legs because the singular form of the plural object is pierna, which ends with the letter "a" (that means it's a feminine object).

If a single object ends in "o" then use "el" in front of the object because the object is masculine. Example: cuello is a single object ending with the letter "o", which means it's also a masculine word in Spanish.  In this case you would use "el" in front of a single masculine object.

"La" is used in front of a single feminine object such as the word "cara", which ends in "a" (feminine).  "Las" is used in front of a plural feminine object such as "piernas".

Answer 11

they mean they same thing trust me im mexican but you just use them differently in different sentences like los ojos the eyes you cant say la ojos because los= more than one la is 1 thing las piernas legs and its las because its just legs not the legs and if you wanted to say it as the legs it would be los piernas any more questios or more details email me

Answer 12

This is simple. they all mean 'the' but, la and las are feminine, los and el are masculine.

Las and los are for multiple things, los hombres (multiple men) Las mujeres (Multiple women)

El and la are singular, el muchacho (the guy) La Muchacha (the girl)

Suerte.

Answer 13

las and la are the "feminine" forms and los and el are the "masculine." if las or los is used, it has to be consistent, so just watch the end of the other word...if you look at the words, for example, las piernas, both end in "as." just like in los ojos, they both end in "os." las and los are plural forms, meaning more than one, and la and el are singular. you can kind of think of these words as the spanish for "the"....hope that helps
