THE ARTICLE.

11. The definite article is "la", the, as "la knabo", the boy, "la

cxevalo", the horse, "la tablo", the table, "la pomo", the apple. In

English there is an indefinite article "a, an" for the singular, but

none for the plural. Esperanto has no indefinite article for either

singular or plural. Therefore "knabo" may mean "boy", or "a boy", "pomo"

may mean "apple" or "an apple".
