agua del grifo
Spanish
Noun
agua del grifo f (uncountable)
- tap water
Usage notes
- The feminine noun agua del grifo is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed a sound in that it takes the definite article el (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:
- el agua del grifo
- However, if an adjective, even one that begins with a stressed a sound such as alta or ancha, intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la.
