Etymology

From earlier fada, from Vulgar Latin *Fāta (goddess of fate), from the plural of (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latin fātum (fate). Compare Catalan, Occitan, and Portuguese fada, French fée, Italian fata.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈada/ [ˈa.ð̞a]

Noun

hada f (plural hadas)

  1. fairy
  2. (obsolete) one of the Fates

Usage notes

  • Feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like hada take the singular definite article el (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usual la: el hada. This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al hada, del hada.
These nouns also usually take the indefinite article un that is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine form una is also permitted): un hada or una hada. The same is true with determiners algún/alguna and ningún/ninguna, as well as for numerals ending with 1 (e.g., veintiún/veintiuna).
However, if another word intervenes between the article and the noun, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (la, una etc.) must be used: la mejor hada, una buena hada.
  • If an adjective follows the noun, it must agree with the noun's gender regardless of the article used: el hada única, un(a) hada buena.
  • In the plural, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (las, unas etc.) are always used.
