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:

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

Summary

This lesson was a bit long but Congratulation that you've come this far, and remember that after few easy lessons you will master the Arabic alphabet (Inshaa' Allah).

Among today's consonants only is connector.

The definite article can be written in two different ways:

  1. : is called moon article and is used with 14 of the alphabets

  2. :is called sun article and is used with the other 14 of the alphabets

Insha' Allah in lesson 9 we will show when we use the sun article and when we use the moon article.
