Etymology

From Proto-Ugric *arɜ (“maternal relative”, “mother’s (younger) brother”),[1] probably a Proto-Iranian borrowing, compare Avestan 𐬠𐬭𐬁𐬙𐬀𐬭‎ (brātar), Ossetian ӕрвадӕ (ærvadæ, “brother”). The ending -a in Hungarian may be a diminutive or a third-person singular possessive suffix. It gained its current meaning during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries.[2]

Usage notes

The feminine noun ara is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed /a/ sound in that it takes the articles el and un (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:

el ara

un ara

However, if an adjective, even one that begins with stressed /a/ such as alta or ancha, intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la or una.
