Pronunciation

/ˈalma/

💡

Cultural Note

Despite being feminine, 'alma' takes the article 'el' in singular for phonetic reasons (el alma, not la alma). 'Alma gemela' (soulmate) is a deeply romantic concept in Spanish culture. The phrase 'mi alma' (my soul) is used as a term of endearment, especially in poetic or literary contexts. In Andalusian Spanish, it's a common affectionate address.
