Why doesn’t this thing have pronunciations for these words? I have no idea if I am pronouncing “rȳban” correctly.

[ftay98]

i think the yy is pronounced longer

[Adi20055]

Y is pronounced like the german ü.
The line on top indicates that it's pronounced for a longer period of time.

Anyone know if there is a word to distinguish btw. definite and indefinite nouns (such as a "bir" in Turkish)?

[elilla.b]

I don't think so, no. You have to decide between definite and indefinite by context, as in Japanese.

[RooyAguirre]

Can "A man I hear" be a possible answer too? If not, why?

[ftay98]

makes no sense in English apparently

[Adi20055]

No, because ryyban means "I hear", there is no other place to put it except from at the begining...
