The definite article is a proclitic.

The definite article is a prefix, le- (also li-, la-, lu-, lju-, lja- depending on number and 'gender'–though, this precise prefix might also show the variants laj- and luj- for lja- and lju-).

When the context might seem obvious, or the locutor is speaking about their direct environment, the definite article might not be used.

Ex. : Mela tame nezol, ta kado klale stol

mother mine think, that cat pretty be

We will translate this as "My mother thinks the cat is pretty" and not "My mother thinks some cat/any cat is pretty", as the locutor probably speaks of their familial pet.

The definite suffix is: -xr. There are also distance-neutral definite demonstratives:

Class I sg: lrxr
Class II sg: saxr
Class III sg: prxr
Class IV sg: vaxr
Du: krxr
Pl: trxr
