Questions & Answers about La política de combustible aparece aquí.
What does política mean here? Is it politics?
No. In this sentence, política means policy, not politics.
This is a very common point of confusion for English speakers because política can relate to politics in other contexts, but in a phrase like la política de combustible, it clearly means a policy/rule/guideline about fuel.
So here, think of política as:
- a company policy
- a rules document
- a formal guideline
Why is it la política and not el política?
Because política is a feminine noun in Spanish, so it takes the feminine article la.
- la política
- not el política
A lot of nouns ending in -a are feminine, and política is one of them.
Why is there de in política de combustible?
