Noun

hampa f (plural hampas)

  1. underworld (part of society that is engaged in crime or vice)

Usage notes
  • The feminine noun hampa is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed /a/ sound in that it takes the articles el and un (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:
el hampa
un hampa
  • However, if an adjective, even one that begins with stressed /a/ such as alta or ancha, intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la or una.
