If I am using "it" to refer to a direct object pronoun, which would I use to replace "la mantequilla"?

Question

I'm confused if I would use the word lo, la, los, or las. Which is it?

Answer 1

Hello! Yes, for this example you would say "la mantequila." Mantequilla is a feminine word, so your options would be "la" or "las", but since this is singular your answer would be "la." Remember that there are still exceptions though ! And not every word that ends in -a is feminine, just as there are words that don't end in -a that are feminine :) I hope this helped!

Answer 2

Hi there! You would use la, since it agrees in gender and number. La is used for singular feminine words, such as "la mantequilla". In simplest terms for DOP's, look at the article that's in front of the word and that will tell you what to use!
