"de la" means 'some' or 'of the' in French. You use "de la" with feminine nouns and "du" before masculine nouns.

de la viande = some meat.

la porte de la maison = the door of the house

du sucre = sugar, some sugar

When a noun begins with a vowel sound, "de la" and "du" are replaced by a shortened form, " de l' "

de l'eau = some water
