letter Alif - حرف الألف

Letter Alif is our first guest today in Arabic for non Arabic.

I would like to spot the light on the difference between two kinds of Alif ......

Alif with Hamza   ......... أ

ِAlif without Hamza ...... ا

I think you see the difference .............it is hamza   ...... ء

which may appear on the top of  this stick ( looking like number 1) ....

Notice the words in our video for today which may have Hamza or not ......

Also I hear a very brilliant  body saying :  Hamza sometimes appear below the ( Alif)........YESSSSS my dear sometimes it does happen  as in  : إبراهيم

which means in English  : Ibraham

Let's pick some words together.

أرنب = rabbit = Arnab

أفعى = snake = af 'aa

Remember to familiarize as much as you can ........
