In Arabic we have Letters like ( ا ب ت ث ج ح ....).
These letters have pronunciation.
Then we have these small Symbols ( َ - ُ - ِ ) ( ً - ٌ - ٍ ) ( ّ ) ( ْ).
When we add those Symbols to the Letter it will change their pronunciation ...
Well not very different but it will look like we say the letter with a second letter or more ....
So I'll give Examples and see:
We will start with the first three symbols: ( َ ) ( ُ ) ( ِ )
- The first one is called in Arabic "Fat ha" and it means you should open your mouth while saying the letter.
- The second one is called "Damma". Your mouth should have a round shape like you're pronouncing a "O".
- The third one is called "Kasra". Your mouth should have the same shape as when you're pronouncing a "E".
Here are some examples:
- If we want to say the letter ( ب ) in Arabic, let's add that Fatha to it ( بَ ). Its pronunciation becomes (Ba). Not a long "a", just a short one.
- if we want to say the letter ( ب ) in Arabic, let's add that Damma to it ( بُ ). Its pronunciation becomes (Bo). Not a long "o", just a short one.
- if we want to say the letter ( ب ) in Arabic, let's add that Kasra to it ( بِ ). Its pronunciation becomes (Be). Not a long "e", just a short one.
The table below will help you with other letters:
| letter | name of the letter | pronunciation with Fatha | pronunciation with Damma | pronunciation with Kasra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ا | Alif | A | O | E |
| ب | Ba'a | Ba | Bo | Be |
| ت | Ta'a | Ta | To | Te |
| ث | tha'a (th here must pronounce as [th] in tee[th] | tha | tho | the |
| ج | jeem | ja | jo | je |
| ح | ha'a [h] | ha | Ho | He |
| خ | Kha'a [KH] must pronounce as [X letter in Russian] | Kha | Kho | Khe |
and so on with All the letters.
Please note that the second letter you add has a very short pronunciation.
I hope this will help you. A lot of people I talked to found this hard to understand but found it a little easier after this explanation ...
See you soon.

hello Again ...
well let's complete our lesson ....
we'll talk about these symbols ( ً )-( ٌ )-( ٍ )
- The first one is called in Arabic "Tanween Al Fat'h" and it means you should open your mouth while saying the letter then add N at the end of letter.
- The second one is called "Tanween Al Damm". Your mouth should have a round shape like you're pronouncing a "O" and add N at the End of the letter
- The third one is called "Tanween Al Kasr". Your mouth should have the same shape as when you're pronouncing a "E" .and add N at the End of the letter
Here are some examples:
- If we want to say the letter ( ب ) in Arabic, let's add Tanween Al Fat'h to it ( بً ). Its pronunciation becomes (Ban). Not a long "a", just a short one.
- if we want to say the letter ( ب ) in Arabic, let's add Tanween Al Damm to it ( بٌ ). Its pronunciation becomes (Bon). Not a long "o", just a short one.
- if we want to say the letter ( ب ) in Arabic, let's add Tanween Al Kasr to it ( بٍ ). Its pronunciation becomes (Ben). Not a long "e", just a short one.
The table below will help you with other letters:
