English term or phrase: We see a hand ; We see the hand
Hello,

I was wondering how these two short senteces would be said in Hebrew? In fact, in Russian they could be said in a single sentence because Russian has no definite and indefinite articles: 'My vidim ruku. Thanks for any help. I appreciate all answers even the ones I don't vote for.

Sincerely,
