The Mala­gasy indefinite article

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

Examples

a table
seza iray
a chair
vony iray
a flower
zaza iray
a child
