Arabic for beginners: Question - pronouncing haa (ه) and Haa (ح)

[@baeguevara354]

Here's a helpful way to think about it, from a linguistic standpoint: Haa (ح) is more tense, but haa (ه) is more lax. Think about the vowel [æ], the first vowel in the word "apple." Then think about the vowel [ə], the first vowel in the word "anomaly." Both represent the /a/ sound, but one is very tense, while the other is very lax. Try saying just those vowels, going back and forth between the two, and feel how your mouth changes. Now, apply that change to the /h/ sound. Try saying it with your mouth tensed up, expelling air a bit more forcefully. That's the sound that Haa (ح) makes. Now try again with your mouth relaxed, and feel the sound being articulated a bit deeper, almost in your voice box. That's the sound that haa (ه) makes. Hope this helped! Probably only a few people will see this, but I figured I would try anyway.

I know this is 2yrs ago but thank you very much this helped alot~

[@ammarkassam6747]

Thank you, great explanation

[@widadmogral2704]

Thanks a lot.

[@aretiredsubberl7036]

Thank you, just as I thought the comment section is much more helpful than the video itself

[@bayceel0s]

Very helpful. Thank you so much.

[@yizhou5903]

I'm crying. My Saudi friend taught me dozens of times, but I still don't know how to pronounce it. Then she said, it's ok, people still can understand you. 😥

[@Diego_Borges]

I'm crying too. You can say ha in dozens of ways but no one is the correct.

[@NadaNuri]

Same crying here, i can say it with fatha but not with damme and kesra 🤦‍♀️

[@AbouIlboudo]

Crying with you guys, I can pronounce it but it ends up sounding like Kha most of the time

[@sandylan8833]

I am crying because I am hungry

I'm repeating over and over this video and maybe it got a little better kzbin.info/www/bejne/bae5k4GHqq1sors

[@valdirbergamobergamo5396]

I watched the whole course, it is wonderful, highly advisable. I would like you to make a special video about Ayn and Ghayn, because they are the real difficulties for a non-native Arabic speaking person. God bless you, thanks a lot !!! from Brasil.

[@oneonta310]

One of the letters is like breathing onto your glasses to clean them. I think it's ح

[@gundulpacul3]

Eat something hot and spicy and you can pronounce it while spiciness.

[@kongiebeanie6488]

that's a good tip. thank you.

[@LearnQuranicArabic]

That's an interesting way of putting it

[@mishfanaaz4376]

Jazakillahu khairan kasira sir.i m an Indian I search your channel.yours vidio is helpful 💐❣

[@AishaMohammed93]

حThis letter is pronunced as "hha" and the other one is very simple and normal ه is pronunced as ha(very short and simple, like you are relieved of something!) So the first one is a hha opening up your mouth wider, a bit more agressively. And the other one is more relaxed like ha! (Ah, am going to relax now)

[@doflamingocorazon587]

Thank you.

[@muaaza1432]

Alhamdulillah, This has helped me a lot, Shukran for sharing. 👌🏽

[@tere218]

Thank you so much for this. I’m struggling a lot in knowing the spelling of common nouns/adjectives etc. and knowing the difference between which letters to use, when to insert vowels VS. using diacritics to guide the pronunciation of the words. Shukran!

[@DRMELON-dc9nj]

Wow, your explanation was beutiful. Very good!

[@joy3631]

so if you sarcastically clear your throat or make the sound to get ppl to pay attention to you "ahem". its closer to the ح sound.

[@mitchellstrong]

Thank you. That actually makes sense

Jazak Allah khairan.. That was very helpful; can you make a tutorial on how to pronounce the خ ج ذ ث because I'm teaching Arabic for a non Arab, and I know how to prounce the letters without even thinking how I do them.. but when my tutee asks me about the right position of the tongue and the air from the throat, I find it not easy to be answered.. I believe that looking at such figures will be very useful for her and for all Arabic learners

You said at the 0:22 part of the video that Ha is a heavy letter. Are you sure it's a heavy letter. I'm just learning and Ha is not heavy so are you sure it's a heavy letter?

[@Nidinidnid]

Haa is not a heavy letter it does not have tafkheem from my leaning of tajweed I think maybe the brother made a mistake.

[@anitaheubel3228]

I’m creating my own language with 3 types of “H”, one being the Arabic sound. But I could never figure out how it was sounded and out of despair I was beginning to think I may not be able to have all 3. Thank you so much as now I know the difference and can again include the Arabic “H” into my language.

[@LearnQuranicArabic]

I'm so happy to hear that ☺️

[@anitaheubel3228]

And for your effort at such an excellent explanation, I will explain the meanings of all 3 “H’s” to you. Your thoughts would be greatly valued. My language is based on Logic, and tho logic can be relative to and for each person, I try to make it as ‘universally’ logical as possible. I hope you are already chuckling. The soft “h” is the breath of Life, coming as it does directly from the lungs. Thus it represents Life, Breath, Air, Gas, atmosphere, sky……..and more. The Arabic “H” represents the wind, its gentle breezes to its violent tempests, and everything about the weather. The Guttural “X” represents the emotions, as how often do we describe the weather with human emotions - brutal winds, violent flatulence, quirky hiccups……. I hope this meets with your approval.🌹

[@peterevans6480]

I only started trying to learn arabic last week so I have to practice a lot before I can nail all the pronounciation 😔 I should get a teacher but I have anxiety about it

[@faes3955]

Thank you ❤

[@iShaybie]

thank you for the explanation:) however these are SO similar why is it necessary for both to exist?!

[@Far7anR]

They actually are quite different. It is like the "s" sound in "snake" with the "ch" sound in "chair" or something like that. The more you practice and get acquainted with the language, the more you will be able to see and appreciate the difference. It is an acquired palate :)

[@ilovemytragus]

I got told that if its regarding the quran precise sounds need to be made to insure proper reciting. Apparently there are 42 or so rules even just for surah fatiha

[@samreynolds3789]

Shay Monét THAT IS HOW IT IS ! Like in English: TOO , TO , TWO or PIN , PEN , etc.......!

[@aretiredsubberl7036]

I am sorry but just like any other video, it merely explains the difference but no explanation on "how" to practice and "how" to pronounce the two.

[@SteamShinobi]

So I live in an area which is populated densely with Arabs. They're awesome, and I took Arabic in school. It's my fifth language. These two letters confused me a lot, so thank you for covering them. Also, I can't tell, but you don't have what I consider an Arabic accent in English; that comes from hearing people from Iraq, Saudi-Arabia, Morocco, Qatar, Sudan, Lebanon, and Yemen. Though I'm sure there are many others, and some listed above may not be Arabic; that's so you don't think I'm some white person whom has no knowledge of the variety of accents that the country has. I just think you have a good English accent as well. :D! Thanks!

Why does the circular h sometimes have 2 dots at the end of a word

[@mennakhamis7047]

it is not h or (ه) sound it is called taa marbuta or Tied ta' (ة) which is primarily a feminine marker ,It comes at the end of the word only like مدرسة ,قطة , مكتبة while ha (ه) words like (final position: منبه , اتجاه , شبيه, )(medial position : فهد , شهر كهف ) (initial position : هادئ, هواء , هاتف)

Listen to both pronunciations and keep repeating both audio files until you find the difference. Since I'm a native speaker of Arabic I couldn't see a difference between B & P until I did just that haha.

Same 😵‍💫

[@ReynaVDrake]

[@HarrisonWells-j7x]

Both sound the same to me, can’t detect the difference and it’s honestly vexing me at this point, idc if anyone wants to say otherwise, because the two letters are almost identical to the point it’s annoying since ur risking distortion of certain words that contain ه

[@LearnQuranicArabic]

What I will do is produce a new video that will make the two letters more clearer, God willing.
