What is the Spanish la in English?

"La" in Spanish translates to "the" in English, but it's specifically the feminine singular definite article. So, it's the equivalent of "the" when used before a feminine noun.

Here are some examples:

* La casa (the house)

* La mesa (the table)

* La mujer (the woman)

Note: Spanish has a different definite article for masculine singular nouns ("el") and for plural nouns ("los" and "las").
