Choose the correct translation of the following words.
the chairs
la silla
las sillas
una silla
unas sillas
To determine the correct translation of the phrase "the chairs," we need to understand the meaning of each option and select the one that best matches the given phrase. Let's examine each option:
1. la silla - This translates to "the chair" (singular). However, the phrase requires a plural form (chairs), so we can eliminate this option.
2. las sillas - This translates to "the chairs" (plural). The correspondence between the given phrase and this translation indicates that this is the correct option.
3. una silla - This translates to "a chair" (singular), which does not match the given phrase. We can eliminate this option.
4. unas sillas - This translates to "some chairs" or "a few chairs" (plural). While it is similar to the correct answer, "the chairs" is a specific reference rather than undetermined quantities, so this option is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct translation of "the chairs" is "las sillas."
