I guess i was beat to the punch but in any case both are correct. depending on where your spanish comes from you use different words. wich is why our responces were slightly different.

for example. in northern mexico they might call a car an "automobil", in central mexico a "coche" and in southern mexico a "carro". They all mean the same thing, it all depends where you learned your spanish.

"El" is male and "La" is female. The fairy was a female, therefore "La" is the correct term. Although like I mentioned before, it all depends where you learned your spanish

Click to expand...

sex has been determined by "Hada Madrina" not by "El" or "La". In singular form it would be "El", in plural form it would be "Las". For instance, the term "the water" in spanish it would be "el agua" not "la agua". Spanish is a complicated language and not as easy as english. But hey, what do I know I just went to school in Mexico.:rolling:
