Definite Articles in Galician grammar are essential for identifying specific nouns. They are similar to the English articles “the” and come in four forms, based on gender and number: “o” for masculine singular, “a” for feminine singular, “os” for masculine plural, and “as” for feminine plural. It is crucial for learners to master these definite articles to communicate effectively in Galician.
