la fruta
the fruit
Example Sentence
La fruta madura se come mejor hoy.
The fruit tastes better today when it's ripe.

La fruta means fruit as a category. It is often used for the produce section or for fruit in general, not just one piece.
Common Phrases
- fruta madura — ripe fruit
- comprar fruta — to buy fruit
Example
La fruta madura esta mas dulce.
Ripe fruit is sweeter.
Common Mistake
Do not use las frutas just because English says "fruits". When you mean fruit in general, la fruta is usually the best choice; las frutas is more like different kinds of fruit.
