wha??

there is no way of saying it

but if you're referring to "of" as in whose possession, then it's pronounced "no" as in "ano restaurant NO sushi" - "that restaurant's sushi"

as for "the", if you're referring to something like the tea, japanese people usually refer to "ochia" as in "the tea" but more politely as opposes to just "chia" as in "tea"
also can be used for other things where you want to be more polite, like "ogaasan" - "mother" or "the mother"

hope this helps
good luck

of -- The answers above are correct.

the -- There is no equivalent concepts for "a" "an" "the" in the Japanese language, or other few Asian languages that I am familiar with.

Japanese does not have "the". There are also no plurals. You infer everything from the situation.

Of would be の (no), I suppose.

"The"-- is not usually used but if you want to use it as an emphasis like THE table- then use "sono" which literally means "that"

of- would be "no" or "kara"
"KARA" also means from
