Nominal Structures of Uralic Languages

The longer allomorph of the definite article is identical to the distal inflecting demonstrative //az// 'that'. However, their distribution differ: inflecting demonstratives must be followed by the definite article, which means that a single //az// can only be interpreted as a definite article, while two instance of //az// following each other are the combination of the distal demonstrative plus the long form of the article.

az	az	iroda
that	the	office

’that office’
