The Korean definite article

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

Examples

čimdē

the bed

sonyo

the girl

omoni

the mother

aboji

the father

mal

the horse
