Interesting Noun-to-adjective Combination

I was reading my previous post and I suddenly realized that an indefinite noun combined with an adjective can sound quite differently when translated in English from a definite noun combined with an adjective, as shown below :)

1. الْوَلَدُ مَرِيضٌ al waladu mariidhun. The boy is sick.
   وَلَدٌ مَرِيضٌ waladun mariidhun. A sick boy.
2. الْرَّجُلُ طَوِيلٌ al rajulu Tawiilun. The man is tall.
   رَجُلٌ طَوِيلٌ rajulun Tawiilun. A tall man.
3. الْقَلَمُ مَكسُورٌ al qalamu maksuurun. The pen is broken.
   قَلَمٌ مَكسُورٌ qalamun maksuurun. A broken pen.
4. الْمَكتَبُ كَبِيرٌ al maktabu kabiirun. The desk is big.
   مَكتَبٌ كَبِيرٌ maktabun kabiirun. A big desk.
