Latin drops articles. In English, there are three articles: "a", "an", and "the". When a translation needs them to make sense, we are expected to insert them.

"Those" is not an article but a pronoun referring to specific things previously mentioned, known, or understood, or to identify a specific person or thing observed or heard by the speaker.

If you are asked to pick a fruit and given this selection:
🍓🍒🍎🍉🍇🍑🍊
you can effectively say, "I would like the grapes": "ūvās velim."
If your selection were:
🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇
and you wanted a particular bunch of them, you would need to point to (or otherwise indicate) them and say, "I would like those grapes": "illās ūvās velim."
