ad lucem eam?
"the light" - it doesn't say about "a light" in general, but about some specific light.
Do you agree, dear Alex?

Yes, it might refer to a particular light.
But I think it depends on the context, doesn't it?

Hm, I don't think so, dear. Ok, I will ask Lilian what she thinks about it.

Hi Lilly!
Could you please tell us if "the light" means some specific light here and it could be replaced by "this light"?

I don't think it could be changed into "this light" or "a light".
It's simply "the light", like it would be "the water" or "the air"

Ok, I'll ask differently: is this about a particular light or about the light in general?
