Question

a or o heladas...?
Why does 'heladas' have an 'a' and not an 'o', at the end?

Salí afuera sin guantes y ahora tengo las manos heladas.

Answer

The noun "mano" is feminine, LA mano, LAS manos...
Not all feminine nouns finish with an A.

Answer

In this case "heladas" is an adjetive, and means very, very cold.
Male singular: helado
Male plural: helados
Female singular: helada
Female plural: heladas
Manos is a female plural noun, so "heladas".

In Argentina "helado" as a noun means "ice cream". Pay attention!! ^-^
