Today’s Spanish word of the day is “agua”. It’s a feminine noun meaning “water”.
It could be a pretty useful word to know if you ever end up lost in a Mexican desert!
Although “agua” is a feminine noun, it’s usually used with the masculine article “el” rather than the feminine “la”.
This is because “agua” begins with a stressed “a”, so it’s easier to say “el agua” rather than “la agua”.
