Hi. Similar to your other posed question given in,
http://www.italki.com/answers/question/59929.htm
You may again refer to the knowledge database in italki, available at:
step 1: http://www.italki.com/knowledge/italian
step 2: http://www.italki.com/knowledge/wikilist-italian-english-1-[sl].htm
step 3: http://www.italki.com/knowledge/wiki-Italian+Articles.htm
Hence, from there, it lists out the rules for the indeterminative (indefinite) and partitive (plural indeterminative) articles. In general,
For masculine singular (including the ones starting with a vowel): un ;
For masculine plural: dei ;
For masculine singular starting with impure consonants: uno ;
For masculine plural starting with impure consonants: degli ;
(Impure consonants are defined as "z", "s"+consonant, "gn", "pn", "ps" or "x".)
For feminine singular: una ;
For feminine singular starting with a vowel: un' ;
For feminine plural: delle.
Good day. / Buona giornata.

hola
mira, "un" es un artículo indefinido y se usa asi:
singular masculino = "un" examples un lápiz, un niño, un borrador
plural masculino = "unos" unos lápices, unos niños, unos borradores
singular femenino = "una" examples; una niña, una flor, una casa
plural femenino = "unas" unas niñas, unas flores, unas casas
El articulo indeterminado UNO se emplea adelante de una palabra masculina que comienza en S+consonante,Z,GN,PS.
hay una diferencian entre uno y otro niño
