territory of Azerbaijan. The definiteness/ indefiniteness category is a semantic category found in some
Iranian languages. Means of expression of definiteness/indefiniteness exist in all languages. However,
the article, which forms the core of the functional-semantic field of definiteness/indefiniteness, is not

languages. The research shows that proper names, personal pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, the
numeral “one”, postpositions and other means are used in Tat language to express definiteness and
indefiniteness.
