Questions & Answers about Una mano tiene cinco dedos.
Why is it una mano and not un mano if the word ends in "-o"?
In Spanish, most words ending in "-o" are masculine, but mano is a famous exception! It is a feminine word, which is why we use the feminine word for "a" here: una mano. You will also always say la mano (the hand).
Why is the verb tiene instead of "tene"?
Does una mean "a" or "one" here?
