Right, I didn't mean to imply that everyone should use them.

Even with languages with articles, it can be hard to learn another
language's articles.  I know that knowing when to use "el", etc. in
Spanish was pretty difficult, and I'm sure the same applies for
Spanish-speakers and "the".

Probably why I tend to avoid articles in my langs, I don't want to
bother figuring out when they should be used.  However, descendants of
Utakassí will definitely have articles, derived from _fúnu_ (that,
previously mentioned)
