>Because really, what's the fucking difference between a thing and the thing from grammatical point of view?
NTA but Anglophone native speaker here. You've piqued my curiosiry.
To answer your question, I think the need for articles in English is more to do with the context of the sentence. "A king is dead," simply means that a monarch has died. "The king is dead," is referring to a specific king, for example.
But I imagine you probably have a way to say that in Slovak where the context can be inferred from the rest of the sentence? Really I don't know enough about linguistics to articulate or really grasp this since I only speak English, and the other foreign languages I studied both had articles (French and Spanish).
