Why is there no word for “the” in darasin Hausa, even though the translation is “the Hausa class”?

Hausa does not use separate words for “the” or “a/an” like English does.
Definiteness is usually understood from context, word order, or suffixes.

• Darasin Hausa literally means “lesson-of Hausa” or “Hausa lesson.”
  Depending on context, it can mean:
  • a Hausa class
  • the Hausa class

In this sentence, because we are talking about a specific, known class that happens regularly, it is naturally understood as “the Hausa class”, even though Hausa doesn’t mark that with an article.
