Starfire learns native vocabulary vis-a-vis lip contact in the original. In this series, it is unclear as she punches Robin when he suggests such a method. In any event, she does not know idioms or phrases that mean something other than how they literally translate. For instance, her attempts to arrange, "the blind date," for Beast Boy left him seriously injured.

Adding the defninte article "the" before a noun usually doesn't change the word's meaning or that of the sentence (only in cases of disambiguation like: "Which one of you Billy Numerous clones keyed my car? "I am the Billy clone.") Therefore, she doesn't know when or when not to do it.
