Answer 2

Hi Sepid,

I think you mean the word Manzana?

the apple = la manzana --> this is the singular form.

the plural form is --> the apples = las manzanas

una manzana = an apple unas manzanas = some/ a few apples.

unas is not just a plural form of una. This is important to keep in mind!

una = a ------- unas = a few/some

success with your Spanish and welcome to the forum.

Answer 4

Una manzana = An apple. Unas manzanas = some apples Un manzano = An apple tree. And manzana has another meaning it can mean a block of buildings.
