In Farsi, there is no usage of articles. For instance, translating a noun with a preceding article in English to Farsi will render this result:
- (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.
- (fa) من را ذان دادم → I gave (the particular) bread.
- (fa) من را سگ برداشم → I took (the particular) dog.
- (fa) من را کتاب نوشتماشم → I wrote (the particular) book.
- (fa) من را کیف دوست داشتم → I loved (the particular) bag.
