How To Use ‘Un’ and ‘Una’ in Spanish (or Leave Them Out)
If you listen to oldies music, you may recall one of the sentences of a popular Spanish-language dance tune: Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán, soy capitán. Translated, that would be, "I am not a mariner, I am a captain, I am a captain."
That sentence indicates one of the differences between Spanish and English.
Although English requires the word "a" before "mariner" and "captain," Spanish doesn't require an equivalent word, which in this case would be un.
Un and Una Classified as Indefinite Articles
"A" and "an" are known to grammarians as indefinite articles, and the Spanish equivalents are un (used before masculine nouns and noun phrases) and una (feminine).
Using the Spanish indefinite articles when they aren't needed is one of the pitfalls for many beginning Spanish students. Say "no soy un marinero, soy un capitán," and it would sound as awkward (and improper) as one possible translation into English: "I am not one mariner, I am one captain."
