Feminine Plural
This word is the plural form of the singular noun 'hija' (daughter). Since 'hija' ends in a vowel ('a'), we add an '-s' to make it plural: 'hijas'.
Gender Consistency
Since 'hijas' is a feminine plural noun, any adjectives or articles used with it must also be feminine and plural (e.g., 'Mis hijas' / 'Las hijas').
Confusing Gender Plurals
Mistake: “Using 'hijos' when referring only to female children.”
Correction: 'Hijos' (with an 'o') means 'sons' or 'children' (mixed gender group). Use 'hijas' (with an 'a') only when referring specifically to daughters.
