Aquesta means this.
It is the feminine singular form of the demonstrative adjective, and it matches regla, which is a feminine singular noun.
The basic pattern is:
- aquest = this (masculine singular)
- aquesta = this (feminine singular)
- aquests = these (masculine plural)
- aquestes = these (feminine plural)
So:
- aquesta regla = this rule
Because Catalan adjectives and determiners often agree in gender and number with the noun.
Regla is a feminine singular noun, so the demonstrative must also be feminine singular:
- aquesta regla = this rule
