# particle_definite_article Article
The definite article is one of the ways that a word can be made [definite](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/state_determined/02.md) (i.e. in the determined state) in Biblical Hebrew. The definite article is not an independent word but the prefix הַ (he with pathah), usually accompanied by a dagesh in the next consonant. The definite article normally takes the pathah vowel, but that vowel can shift (usually either lengthening to qamets or shortening to seghol) depending on the placement of the accent and/or gutteral consonants within the word.

The definite article does not have any specific function other than to indicate that a particular word is in the determined state.
### In Poetry
In Hebrew poetry the definite article is often not present where you would expect it. This may have to do with the meter or other the rhythm since it would often add a syllable.
## אֶת
אֶת is used to [mark the direct object](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/particle_direct_object_marker/02.md) and make it [definite](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-uhg/src/master/content/state_determined/02.md).
NOTE: The definite article is only rarely found in Hebrew poetry. This may have been done for the sake of rhythmic meter, since the article almost always adds a syllable to a word. In Hebrew poetry, words can be in the determined state even without the definite article. Therefore, in Hebrew poetry, often the state (construct, absolute, or determined) of a particular word must be determined by the context.
