Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

thank you for asking this legend

In this case it's similar to English: the type of map vs the size of the map

ah it makes sense, thank you

[astral quest]

You use the definite article when the noun refers to the specific instance in question, not the type of noun as a generic sense (if that makes sense: it's hard to put precise words on these things), liek for example:
-vitesse du jeu = speed of the game (the speed the game is being played at)
-vitesse de jeu = game speed (one of the speeds that this type of game can be played at: the "speed of playing" in a sense)
In this case, both du and de would work just fine
