In this lesson we will take four consonants:

'Hamza'=
'Waw'=
'Ya'=
'L'= .

 

Note:

  • When hamza is used with kasrah it is written in this way
  • In lesson1 we dealt with and as long vowels, and they didn't carry the markers of the short vowels ( fatha , damma , kasra )

The following tables summarizes the various forms of the letter in different positions in a given word:

  Initial Medial Final
    After
non-connecter 		After
connector 		After
non-connecter		 After
connector
 
 
 
 

Practice:

1) case of Hamza

a)in the begining of the word:

b)in the middle of the word:

  • After a connector
  • After a non-connector

c)at the end of the word:

  • After a connector
  • After a non-connector

When preceded by a long vowel or sukun the final hamza (when it is at the end of the word) is written on the line like this :

After Long Vowel

One last thing in this chapter is the definite article:

The definite article in Arabic is prefixed to the noun or adjective it modifies.But it is prononced in two different ways:

  1. when it is written as in this word (means: the door),it is prononced "Al" .
    Note the sukun on top of ""
  2. when it is written as in this word (means: the house).
    Note the absence of sukun on top of "" and the shadda on the consonant which follows the definite article, In this case the "" is not prononced.

These examples will make this clear:

Moon article

Sun Article
