Funny enough, the Japanese doesn’t have the word “the” per say. It most depends on context and how you translate it. Example: ねこは赤です -> literal translation: Cat red Now time to add some English words to make it sound ✨better✨ “The cat is red”

Japanese has demonstratives like "that", just no articles.

'That' wasn't meant to be deleted, so thanks for pointing out typo. (Sorry if this is double posted)
