- (en) a/the table → ميز
- (en) a/the son → پسر
- (en) a/the cat → گربه
- (en) a/the father → پاپا
- (en) a/the door → در
However, in Farsi, there is also a word, "را" to reference a particular noun in a conversation. It is somewhat similar to "the" in English, however, it is not an equivalent substitute.
- (fa) من را در دیدم → I saw (the particular) door.
