 Colognian prepositions articles such as in "dat Auto", or "et Auto", the car; the first being specifically selected, focused, newly introduced, while the latter is not selected, unfocused, already known, general, or generic.Standard Basque distinguishes between proximal and distal definite articles in the plural (dialectally, a proximal singular and an additional medial grade may also be present).The Basque distal form (with infix "-a-", etymologically a suffixed and phonetically reduced form of the distal demonstrative "har-/hai-") functions as the default definite article, whereas the proximal form (with infix "-o-", derived from the proximal demonstrative "hau-/hon-") is marked and indicates some kind of (spatial or otherwise) close relationship between the speaker and the referent (e.g., it may imply that the speaker is included in the referent)
