Hello, @miner_0554, on the website:

Tips and Notes

( Basic 1 / Lesson 1 ) you will find an explanation .....

"Just like in English, Hungarian has definite articles and an indefinite article.

A and az are like English's the . A fiú = the boy .

If the word starts with a vowel, you use az. For a consonant, you use a.

az alma, a fiú

Hungarian's indefinite article is simpler: the indefinite article a or an is always egy.

egy alma, egy fiú

Don't confuse Hungarian's "a / az," the definite article meaning the, with English's a / an, which are the indefinite articles, meaning egy!"

I recommend frequent use of the website provided above!
