There are two articles: the definite article ''fin'' (m sg), ''fis'' (f sg), ''fi'' (pl), from the distal demonstrative ''fi'', and the specific article ''sen'' (m sg), ''ses'' (f sg), ''se'' (pl), from the proximal demonstrative ''se''. Indefinite nonspecific nouns do not take an article. The English definite article, and some unpreceded nouns such as ''society'', ''man'' (humanity), and ''life'', correspond closely to the Windermere definite article, but the English indefinite article can be translated into either Windermere indefinite nouns or specific nouns depending on context.
