indefinite articles in spanish agree in number and gender with the noun...there are four:

a/an
masculine singular: un (un libro)
feminine singular: una (una casa)

some (before countable nouns)
masculine plural: unos (unos libros)
feminine plural: unas (unas casas)

The spanish equivalent of "some" when used before an uncountable noun is "un poco/algo de"
some sugar: un poco/algo de azucar
some water: un poco/algo de agua

“Los artículos definidos” or definite articles in Spanish are words we use to specify the gender and number of a noun in Spanish. They are “La, Los, El, Las” They are the equivalent to “The” in English. “Los artículos indefinidos” or indefinite articles in Spanish are related to the number and gender of a category of nouns, but not one in specific. They correspond to “a, an” and “some” in English. They are “Un, Una, Unos, Unas”. Here are two great free Spanish lessons about this topic:
