The Indefinite Article has no plural, but the Spanish plural forms "unos" (masc.) and "unas" (fem.) translate the English words "some" or "any," as unos hermanos (some brothers), unas hermanas (some sisters), unos tinteros (some inkstands), unas mesas (some tables). (The Spanish words "algunos," "algunas," are also used for the same purpose.)
