Spanish

Etymology

agua +‎ -ita

Noun

agüita f (plural agüitas)

diminutive of agua a small amount of water

Usage notes

agua is a feminine noun, but the masculine definite article is used because it starts with a stressed a: el agua. Its diminutive, agüita, stresses the second syllable, so the feminine definite article is used as with any other ordinary feminine noun: la agüita.
