........a or the place...........
My son was listening to a story where hospitals were mentioned. He asked me a question, ‘What is a hospital?’
1. A hospital is a place where doctors work.
2. A hospital is the place where doctors work.
Which sounds more natural?
Could you give me a more natural example about the unnatural choice?
Thank you and good morning. :)

Neither answer the asked question. #2 is factually incorrect since many doctors don’t work in one. #1 is factually correct but doesn’t define a hospital

I would use #1. A place where doctors work means that the hospital is one place where doctors work. The place ...... would mean that the hospital is the only place where doctors work.

#1 when speaking in general.

A hospital is a facility where the most urgent medical needs are treated and where advanced testing and treatment are performed.
