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.

Some nouns are what is called uncountables. You can't count instances of it.
Water, for instance. There isn't one water, two waters, etc, it's just water. There's some of it.

In English, you could either use no article or "some" for such nouns. In French, you would have to use partitive articles.
du/de la/de l' are such partitive articles for uncountables nouns.

"café" is pretty weird in that in can be either. "du café" is referring to the uncountable liquid, "un café" is talking about an instance of a cup of coffee.
