| مرحبا انا نورا! |
| (marhaban ana nora!) |
| Hi I'm Nora! |
| Welcome to ArabicPod101.com’s Abjadiyyah Made Easy! |
| The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn the Arabic alphabet: the [أَبجَدِيَّة] (abjadiyyah). |
| Congratulations! You arrived at the end of the series. |
| In the past three lessons, you learned many letters, but do you remember all of them? In this lesson we’re reviewing these letters. |
| In lesson 17, we learned و (waw) and ي (yāʾ) |
| The و (waw) is just like the English "U" in the word "rule," while the ي (yāʾ) is the English "I" in the word "win." |
| Let’s practice writing them together one more time: |
| First we have و (waw): |
| Initial and isolated: وَطَن (waṭan), "homeland" |
| Medial and final: فَوْق (fawq), "on top of" |
| Now let’s check ي (yāʾ): |
| Isolated: ي |
| Initial: يَسار (yasār), "left" |
| Medial: كيس (kīs), "plastic bag" |
| Final: صَبي (ṣabī), "boy" |
| That’s it for lesson 17! Let’s see lesson 18’s letters! |
| In lesson 18 we learned ى (alef layyena), and ا (alef). |
| These two vowels sound just like the "A" in the word "apple." |
| Let’s practice writing them together one more time: |
| First we have ا (alef): |
| Isolated and initial: ا |
| Medial and final: هُناك (hunāk), "there" |
| Now let’s review ى (alef layyena): |
| Isolated: ى |
| final: عَمى (ʿamā), "blindness" |
| As you can see, it only comes in the isolated form and the final form. |
| That’s it for lesson 18. Next, let’s see lesson 19. |
| In lesson 19 we learned ء (hamza), |
| ؤ (hamza on waw), |
| ئ (hamza on alef layyena) |
| These are all different versions of the glottal stop, or hamza. |
| Let’s practice writing them together one more time: |
| First we have ء (hamza) isolated:ء |
| Medial: عَباءة (ʿabāʾah), "cape" |
| final: حَمراء (ḥamrāʾ), "red" |
| It looks the same in both cases. |
| Now let’s check ؤ (hamza on waw): |
| Isolated: ؤ |
| Medial: مُؤامرَة (muʾāmrah), "conspiracy" |
| This one only comes in the isolated form and the medial form. |
| The last one is ئ (hamza on alef layyena): |
| Here it is in its three forms: |
| Isolated: ئ |
| medial: ثائِر ( ṯāʾir), "demonstrator" |
| final: مُبتَدِئ (mubtadiʾ), "beginner" |
| This one comes in the isolated, medial or final forms. They look quite different though. |
| And that’s it for lesson 20. We’re done! |
| Let’s check the list of all the letters we covered so far! (animation) |
| أ ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ك ل م ن ه ة و ي ى ء ؤ ئ |
| We’ve come a long way since the first lesson! Great job guys! |
| We’ve come a long way since the first lesson! Great job guys! |
| Now that you’ve learned all of the Arabic alphabet, and learned all about the Arabic vowelling system, you’re ready to write any word you like! Let’s celebrate by writing a cool new word! |
| أَحسَنت (ʾaḥsant), |
| which means "Great job!" |
| Now you’ll be able to read and write any Arabic word! |
| What are you going to write? |
| Salam! |
