Is it the fact the way something is written almost has no bearing on how it’s pronounced?
For me as someone who speaks english as a 2nd language this is definitely a big one
Though on the topic of the definite article, as a kid I found articles in general to be weird as my native language has none, so there were just these “untranslatable” words in front of some nouns for some reason

Funny you mention this, cuz I have been trying to learn japanese lately and it not having articles is a big obstacle for me.
