The Nepali definite article

The definite article is what we call the word 'the' in English. The English definite article 'the' does not exist in Nepali. Unlike English, a noun on its own can be considered definite without the need for a specific word to show this.

Examples

kōdā

the horse

bistara

the bed

kar

the house

aimai

the woman

kēti

the girl

Step 4 : The definite article in Nepali

The definite article is what we call the word the in English. The definite article is used with nouns in English (the book, the chair, the door etc.). Using the nouns kitab, meč and toka (book, chair, door) which you learned in Step 3, learn how to use each noun with the definite article. This is easy in Nepali, because in Nepali, there is no definite article. So the word kitab can mean book or the book, the word meč can mean chair or the chair and the word toka can mean door or the door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the definite article in Nepali including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the definite article with the Nepali nouns kitab, meč and toka, you're ready to move on to Step 5 (the plural in Nepali).
