What is the correct definite article for the noun palabra?

a. el,

b. la,

c. los,

d. las

Answer: b. la,

The correct article that should be related with the Spanish noun “palabra” (meaning “word”) is “la”.

In Spanish, nouns are either masculine or feminine and in this case, the definite article (used in this way as “the” in English) must match the gender of the noun.Specifically:

“El” is applied before singular masculine nouns.

“La” is put before singular feminine nouns.

Appropriately masculine nouns in a plural form begin with “los”.

“Las” denotes the plurals of feminine nouns.

The Spanish word for “word,” palabra, is a feminine noun. Consequently, the prepositional phrase starting it is “la’’.

Some examples:

La palabra es difícil.(The word is difficult.)

El último término del texto. (The last sentence of the text.)

Thus, b. la. is the correct option for the article to use with the noun “palabra”.
