For those who are confused:
"Un" means "a" (in english) and it's only used when talking about a masculine word.
"Una" also means "a" and it's only used when talking abouy a femenine word.
How do you know wether a word is masculine or femenine?
Masculine words end with the "o" vowel" while femenine ones end with the "a" vowel.
For example:
Femenine: Una bananA
Masculine: Un gelatO
Of course, there are exceptions to these rules in some cases, but that's the easiest way to identify the gender of many singular words.

In italian, the typical pattern is for fruits (like "la banana") to be gramatically feminine, and for trees (like "il banano") to be gramatically masculine. There are exceptions.
