This week’s word is: el ala ah’-lah (noun) which means wing; branch (of a political party). One thing to remember though is “Ala” is a feminine noun, but in the singular, it takes the masculine article “el” so that the “a” in “la” and the first “a” in “ala” don’t blend into each other.

Feminine noun with a masculine article, I never took Spanish I didn’t know this. Interesting this word has several meanings.
I am going to have a bit of a tough time with this weeks word. But I am sure I will figure out someway to work it into a conversation with my daughter. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
I hope you were able to use it at some point!
