The post didn't say that there wasn't any way of defining it, just that most people wouldn't be able to off the cuff if someone asked them. I know I wouldn't be able to

I used to drive my parents crazy asking them questions like, "mommy, what's the word 'the' mean?" when I was little. Little me was awesome :)

An article that comes before to introduce a noun.

"The" is an article (one of three) that come before a noun to indicate which noun one is referring to.

a definite article, specifying which exact one, rather than in general ^ similar to "that", but "that" would be a demonstrative pronoun rather than a definite article
