The definite article is rarely used in Skegletorahh'gallã. Only when referring to someone's title like “The Doctor” or “The Lord President”. The gallifreyan word for “the” is due [du.e].

Indefinite articles, on the other hand, don't exist at all. But wait a second, we already saw that there is in fact a word for a/an in Gallifreyan so, how does this work? Well, despite “on” has the same meaning as the indefinite article it is only used when answering a question about quantity or as emphasis in the case of “grotjjo”. So, instead of saying “on labeljyou” (a house) you'll say simply “labeljyou” ([a] house).
