[@debramajeed6]

This is helpful. I was struggling with translating words with alif lam followed by sun and moon letters. I was confusing when to pronounce and add the lam. Thank you! May Allah SWT continue to bless your efforts.

[@musicnation6450]

Thank u so much because of you i passed my test

[@xanasantos1]

I’m watching this because I’m Portuguese! In Spain and Portugal we have so many Arabic words and only just learnt why not all begin necessarily with Al. 🙂

[@sirneilloverman8300]

Marhaban, Ana Jhungi, Have you seen that film scenery where the green lantern gave his ring to a villain and the villain becomes powerful for a while. Then he tries to attack the hero and he instantly fails. Hero says "you see, you have to be the chosen one". Lugatil Ummi Laisat Lugatil Englijiyati wa Bangaliyati. Lugatil Ummi Hiyal Lugatil 'Arabiyati. Ya Soondari!!! Tajkarul Haza.

What is the meaning of sun letter phrase They are the beginning letters in this verse ⇓ طِبْ ثُمَّ صِلْ رَحْماً تَفُزْ ضِفْ ذَا نِعَمْ دَعْ سُوءَ ظَنٍ زُرْ شَرِيفاً لِلْكَرَمْ

*MarHaba, you are a great teacher, because your explanation is very clear, which is of great help to beginning Arabic students like myself.A question though:Since al-ward means THE FLOWERS (plural), how do you say THE FLOWER (singular)?Shukran*

what's the difference between ana rah b3amil and ana rayih b3amil? This is in the Lebanese dialect so it isn't formal 3rbi

[@fahadalisheikh6980]

You make a Arabic conversation dialogue

[@Crick1952]

Is there a reason that the 'l' remains in the definite article for the sun letters? Why doesn't Arabic use two different definite articles for the different words (i.e. Spanish (el/la), Dutch (de/het), ect.)

[@nivienhelmy7697]

because it has nothing to do with the word being masculine or feminine. It's about the first letter of the noun. Arabic is a unique and rich language and has totally different rules from Latin based languages.

[@Crick1952]

Nivien Helmy I don't doubt that at all. That's why I'm trying to learn it :) I'm just asking so I can understand, and those are the two languages I can speak the best and can use for comparison. So why does the /l/ remain even when it's not pronounced?

[@nivienhelmy7697]

por sepuesto ! OK ...that's how grammar is. With some letters for easier pronunciation you don't pronounce el or al in full. That's how I explain it to my students : )

[@nivienhelmy7697]

so you can't drop it because it's still there...you just don't pronounce in full. And anyway if you do pronounce it in full, it's a slight mistake ...no big deal

[@nandanagirish334]

How do you memorize the sun and the moon letters?

[@mariama.7940]

14 sun letters are pronounced with the flexible FRoNT part of the tongue.

[@mariama.7940]

14 sun letters are pronounced with the flexible FRONT part of the tongue

[@dark3rthanshadows]

and how do i say , praise the sun ?

[@Repentforthekindomogiah]

Don't worry you'll learn in hell

[@fs5421]

But what if a sun letter comes after laam sukoon? Like letter noon does come after laam sukoon.

[@colonel016]

Then laam sukoon will change it self to A and L will be silent

[@Alimanfuha1404]

Moon Letters, you can say the word in Arabic. ابغ حجك وخف عقيمة.

[@anitasteiner5733]

So... dental and alveolar articulations lead to the complete assimilation of the lam into the gemminated shamsiyeh consonant.

[@ivornworrell]

*Anita you seem to be somewhat erudite in your medical terminologies but just to make it pellucid, you spelt the word "gemminated" incorrectly (one m too many).After some degree of ambivalence I decided to erase all dubious feelings & pen you this dissertation since it appears to me that your level on medical vocabulary is still in its embryonic stage.*

[@anitasteiner5733]

@@ivornworrell I love mansplaining. You just don't how much!!! Especially when the assumptions on which it's based are wrong...as they usually are... I happen to have studied Phonetics and Phonology, not Medicine. But thanks for your "dissertation" on what you think is embryonic.

[@ivornworrell]

@@anitasteiner5733 Respectfully.

[@mariama.7940]

simple explanation is that sun letters are prounounced with the flexible FRONT part of the tongue. or they are also called corporal letters.

actually an alif is used as long vowel only, it is not a consonant.. it is called HAMZAH that sits on an alif that makes the sound 'a, i, u'
