spanish language question!!!

[PostWhore]

what is the difference between el/los and un/unos
and la/las una/unas

[DWB]

You mean, for example, why is it UN dia but UNA samana?

[the_mix]

singular and plural

el-singular
los- plural

[pornguy]

Singular and plural for the male and female version of the words.

[PostWhore]

i understand that
but i mean when u use


el or un
la or una

[WarChild]

i understand that
but i mean when u use


el or un
la or una

A very SIMPLE rule, that doesn't hold true all of the time, is words ending in "o" are male and words ending in "a" are female.

gofuckyourself - veychingatetumismo

That's not really true, that translation is the crappy spanish that mexican and sudamericans in general speaks... Beliveme they dont talk spanish, 90% of sudamerican people doesn`t know to talk his own language (spanish) and they use a mix of bad spanish and some invented words. (don`t think about gramatical sentences they doesn't know that "thing" exists)

the real translation is gofuckyourself = veyjodeteatimismo - ve y jodete a ti mismo.

sorry for my bad english. My english its like their Spanish, a shit.
