Thank you. What I liked is that you also told the meaning of few words. Following are the ones of whose meaning were not given in the lesson. Here are those words and their meanings for others going through this lesson. 1. The Arabic word "فُتِحَ" (futiha) translates to "it was opened" or "to open" in English. It is the past tense form of the verb, derived from the root "ف ت ح" which pertains to the act of opening something. 2. The Arabic word "سَمِعَ" (samiʿa) means "he heard" or "to hear" in English. It is the past tense form of the verb, derived from the root "س م ع" which pertains to the act of hearing or listening. 3. The Arabic word "زَرَعَ" (zarʿa) translates to "he planted" or "to plant" in English. It is the past tense form of the verb, derived from the root "ز ر ع" which pertains to the act of planting seeds or crops in soil.

In terms of arabic, its increasing difficulty is: understanding, speaking, thennnn writing. This video has given me the insight to writing arabic in english then converting it to arabic. It's genius. It gets harder with long vowels but wow this is a great start.

[@mezina92]

Thank you so much for explaining short vowels this way. I really appreciate the visual to write out all consonants and then add the vowels to pronounce the word. It's really good practice until I become more familiar with Arabic. :)

I consider short vowel markers should be mandatory for texts written in Arabic. It’s more aesthetic and suddenly doesn’t becomes impossible to read

[@bayaan0003]

Assalamu alakium:) Amazing video I actually learned a lot! Alhamdulillah one question For the Damna how do we know when to write o/u and for the Kasrah the same thing with the e/i which? Thankyou brother

[@Arabic101]

Wa alikom asslam brother/ sister, You pronounce /u/ when the letter the follows is و . For example, دُور here the د had damma and the letter after it is و , so in this case you'd say it is /u/ which is the stronger version of /o/ obviously. Same with /i/ and /e/ when the letter that comes after is ي then you'd pronounce it as /i/ like صِياح Hope this answers the question.. Asslamo alikom

[@bayaan0003]

Arabic 101 ohhhh thankyou!!

[@kelor]

Hi everybody! Can anyone please tell what the names (or words) mean: 1) "HULAYE" (or HULAYI). The root is "HL". 2) "ALASHYAL" (or ALASYAL or ALASHIAL or ALASIAL) 3) "ZER'O" (does it mean "under" something?) Thanks!

[@vincentproud6589]

I've been looking everywhere for this, I'm super confused, but what's the difference between putting a Sukoon and just leaving it blank? Wikipedia lists: دَدْ as an example where a Sukoon is necessary. But I can't see how that would be pronounced any differently from: دَد ?

[@Arabic101]

The answer really depends on how far are you with learning Arabic, I'll give you both answers .. No vowel (blank as you call it) = sukoon .. It's one and the same, and there's no difference whatsoever if you are still beginning to learn Arabic since when it comes to reading they are pronounced the same way. If you are a bit advanced, then there is a tiny difference which is: sukoon sign ْ refers to (true sukoon) while blank refers to (a stopping sukoon). True sukoon means that this letter gets sukoon all the time no matter where it comes, whether you stop of keep on reading. Stopping sukoon, however, is the type of sukoon that happens at the end of words only when you stop at that word. Example: you say كَتَبَ أَحمَد. but if you stopped after only reading the first word it should be like this كَتَب with the last letter blank. Hope this answers the question, let me know if you still have questions..

[@vincentproud6589]

@@Arabic101 That's a great explanation, thanks! :)

[@thomythom]

Doesn't fathah sound change according to soft and hard letters?

[@mohammadzaidi8287]

When reading Quran I notice sometimes the kasra seems to be pronounced like the i in the English word tin or win or still. Example the kasra under the ha in: عَلَيهِم or in the ba of بِسم الله other times it’s pronounced more like the ea in the words feature or clean like in the word سَمِعَ or فُتِحَ. Am I right in my observation if so how do you explain when the kasrah should sound either way?

[@Arabic101]

Asslamo alikom, That is indeed absolutely true. In fact, not showing the kasrah enough is called 'imalat al-kasra' Here's an important comparison to fully understand this concept: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGi9gqeqeciYqKc

I wonder if you might be able help me. When the particle of emphasis 'inna' is used before a noun it turns it into accusative. However, I have come across a few example with the name 'Allah' where the name is genetive, it becomes 'Inna'llahi' not 'Inna'llaha,' I was wondering what the reason is?

@@Arabic101 Are you sure? I didn't see it cover the particle of emphasis 'Inna' before Allah. I thought it's supposed to turn Allah into accusative, but I've seen a few examples where it's written 'Inna Allahi.' So, 'Allah' is genetive.

This is confusing so is it okay to write the short vowels or not? And how do you know a words vowels if they aren’t written

[@Sahih_imlaak]

Arabs usually don’t use them because they’re familiar with the words, but for foreigners it’s difficult to read the words without short vowels in..

[@zackf1064]

What is the difference between (تَشْكِيل) and (حَرَكَات)?

[@gnidnoeled786]

At 9:23 mark, why there's no damma above the "s" of sukun?

[@Sahih_imlaak]

Because you can write the words without writing short vowels, but you should pronounce them..

[@no.1chickenlover]

This is surprisingly easy to follow, thank you for this! Why is sukoon spelled with sin kaaf wau nun? Or will this be covered in the next videos? Or am I reading it wrong 😭😭😭

[@randamustafa2891]

I am confused on how sometimes for short vowels we sound the fatha like 'a' as in cat and sometimes it is more short like 'but', how do we know in this case which way to sound the word out?

[@Arabic101]

short vowels are the diacritics َ ِ ُ long vowels, which is the lesson after this one, are three letters ا و ي and these are the vowels that are prolonged.

[@randamustafa2891]

@@Arabic101 So, pronunciation also depends on the word itself? Is this difference something I should just memorize for every word I learn?

[@yaxyahassan3415]

, have you been working.

[@guzarian]

Assalamu alaykum I have a question ❓ In BASAL, you put Fathah after ب but there is no any vowels after ص and you pronunced SA. How do you know it is ba-SAl? Why it is not BASL?

[@Arabic101]

Wa alikom asslam, First of all, Arabs, because of how much we use the language, don't need to use short vowels to identify words. So we know that there is fathah on ص simply because the word with no vowel on ص doesn't exist, so it leaves us no choice other than the one with fathah. As for why it is not indicated on the word in the lesson, is because I wanted to focus only on the first letter, and how it would look like. Finally, you too, after a lot of practice, will, in shaa Allah, be able to read arabic, without any short vowels. :) Hope this answers your questions in shaa Allah Asslamo alikom

[@CC-hq1sd]

How do I know when to pronounce u instead of o? Or i instead of e?

[@Arabic101]

It depends on the letter before it; if it has a short vowel of the same nature, so ُ or ِ then it would mean that و and ي will be long vowels and they will be pronounced as u: and i: respectively. Otherwise, it would be a semi-vowel o & e and as you progress more in the course, it will be explained with more details.
