What Is your definition of the word the? Please don't use a dictionary definition
but post what is instantly in your mind
 
Folks should start putting "game" in the thread title. I thought maybe you have been searching for a final thesis subject.
 
For mercy's sake.... Do NOT put 'Google' into Google.

You could BREAK the internet!
 
The: an article used to refer to a specific object/case/item/thing rather than a generic one. The only definite article in English.
 
The,Those. This,These .:bangbang: Scotty Dog PS. If ya did tear time, would you end up with a zipper effect?
 
There is no the definition of the. There are several definitions of the, therefore the best you could do is a definition of the.

For instance, "enough" is a definition of the but not the definition of the.

Half a bee, philosophically,
must ipso facto half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
vis-a-vis its entity... you see?

But can a bee be said to be
or not to be an entire bee
when half the bee is not a bee
due to some ancient injury...
