Grammar Guru: Definite vs. Indefinite Articles

In Afrikaans, nouns do not have definite or indefinite articles like in English. Instead, the context or additional words are used to indicate whether a noun is specific or general. For example, “die boom” means “the tree” while “boom” means “a tree.”
