The translation of 'the' in Spanish depends on what word it is being used in front of - in technical grammar terms, it depends on what word it is functioning as the definite article of. Nouns in Spanish have assigned genders that determines which version of the definite article is used. For example:

the man = el hombre

the woman = la mujer

Both el and la mean 'the'. Also, the definite article must agree in number with the noun, meaning:

the men = los hombres

the women = las mujeres

Both los and las mean 'the,' but they are the plural forms for the pluralized nouns.
