Both articles are always placed before the noun.
Al caso diretto singolare si ritrovano due forme, che si distinguono in base al primo fonema del nome che accompagnano:
• ež si prepone ai nomi che iniziano per consonante.
• ežd si prepone ai nomi che iniziano per vocale.


The definite article, both in its singular and plural forms, can merge with some prepositions to form the so-called ''articled prepositions''. Such forms will be analyzed in a following section.
Examples:
ež pɔge čəjnnos
<small>the person is singing</small>
 
ežd ɔne čəjnnos
<small>the woman is singing</small>
 
The definite article, both in its singular and plural forms and in any case, can merge with some prepositions to form the so-called articled prepositions. Such forms will be analyzed in a following section.
