The Kurdish definite article

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

Examples

derî

the door

xwîşk

the sister

lawik

the boy

heval

the friend

xanî

the house
