Hola! Do we say "tengo un alma blanca" or "tengo una alma blanca"? Alma is feminine noun, but it starts with 'a' letter... Thanks in advance for any answers! Regards! Adios!

What do you mean? There should be an definite article in this sentence? - WojtekK1902, Mar 18, 2010

Hi Wojtek, welcome to SpanishDict 
It's a female noun, but it takes the masculine article "el" or "un" in singular form (but: las almas, unas almas in plural), just as el aula or el agua. It's because they begin with a stressed "a" and it would sound a bit awkward la alma or una agua
