Not such an odd question. We often take the grammatical categories of our
own language and attempt to impose them on other languages. Many
languages don't have "definitie articles" as we have in English and
Hebrew.

The English forms "I ate, I have eaten, I was eating" are also not
paralleled in other languages.

So we need to examine our assumption that our categories automatically
fit onto other languages.
