Spanish has three kinds of demonstrative, whose use typically depends on the distance (physical or metaphorical) between the speaker and the described entity, or sometimes depends on the proximity to the three grammatical persons.
A definite article is an article that marks a definite noun phrase. Definite articles, such as the English the , are used to refer to a particular member of a group. It may be something that the speaker has already mentioned, or it may be otherwise something uniquely specified.
The articles in English are the definite article the and the indefinite articles a and an.They are the two most common determiners.The definite article is the default determiner when the speaker believes that the listener knows the identity of a common noun's referent (because it is obvious, because it is common knowledge, or because it was mentioned in the same sentence or an earlier sentence).
To add an article to this category, tag it with {{Expand Spanish}}. (Do not add articles to this category directly.) (Do not add articles to this category directly.) This category is not shown on its member pages unless the appropriate user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set.
Japanese, 私は本を持っている (watashi wa hon o motteiru "I have a/the book"), is ambiguous between definite and indefinite readings. [7] Germanic, Romance, Celtic, Semitic, and auxiliary languages generally have a definite article, often preposed but in some cases postposed. Many other languages do not.
Because the definite article is, along with más or menos, the superlative marker, the comparative is grammatically indistinguishable from the superlative when it is used; an additional qualifier phrase such as de los dos ("of the two") must therefore be used to indicate that the adjective is the comparative.
