The English language uses articles to identify nouns. There are two types of articles in English:

The definite article: the (specific)

The indefinite article: a, an (non-specific)

There are no definite and indefinite articles in ancient Egyptian.

In this course both translations are demonstrated.

"the strong man"

or

"a strong man"
