Spanish

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Old Spanish arca, archa, from Latin arca (“chest, box”), from arceō (“to enclose”).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈaɾka/ [ˈaɾ.ka]
  • Audio:(file)
  • Rhymes: -aɾka
  • Syllabification: ar‧ca

Noun

[edit]

arca f (plural arcas)

  1. ark, chest
    Synonym: cofre

Usage notes

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