当 capital 指某个国家/地区的唯一首都时，表示特指，需加定冠词 the。汉语没有冠词，学习者容易漏掉。

Pronunciation & Spelling
In General American, Tirana is /tɪˈrɑːnə/. Genuine rhymes: sultana and nirvana share the stressed /ɑːnə/ ending. Lookalikes with -ana/-anna (banana, Havana, Montana, savanna) are pronounced with /ænə/, not /ɑːnə/. In British English, banana can be /bəˈnɑːnə/ and would then rhyme.
