 I have found a page published the Guardian,

https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2010/feb/07/learn-arabic-alphabet-table

Suggest , you go through it. I think it is built by English Speaking people and made for English Speaking readers.

Many peoples are not used to letters that change its form, depending on the location of it. It can be independant/ individual or begining or middle or at the end of a word.

The best way is to give example in a sentence ( ayat)

Learn Arabic grammar lesson 1


Let us start with the introduction to grammar I am using the 1 hour video series and divide the video into 2 parts. I feel an hour lesson online is too long.


PART 1 Arabic words are divided into 3 categories... 1. Nouns 2. Verbs 3. Haraf.

A. Arabic Words


B. Indefinite Nouns.
In English - the form is - a book.
To make it definite, we say - the book.

However in Arabic ,
indefinite - we add tanuwin - haza baitun
non definite - we ad alif lam.. albaitait . No tanuwin is allowed.


We look at english sentence.... This is a house
The Arabic sentence is ...  This House...
There is no .. is a ... which is called copula words.  There is no copula words in Arabic. The same is for Malay... Ini rumah.

In translating Arabic to English.. we will add the copula word to make it readable.


Reading from Right to left

- haza kitabon

- haza  qolamin

- haza miftaahun .

Various form of nouns (time 29min)
1. In nouns end with dommah (depan)

Starting from Basic Arabic Alphabets

 I always wrongly assumed that everyone know the basic Arabic alphabets. The reality is, most do not know.


So that is where we start: The words are made up of letters, the basic alphabets...

SHIFTING FOCUS

 I am changing the focus of the blog.


Instead of learning to speak Arabic, I am refocus on classical Arabic, with the intent to understand Quran, the Revealed book for Muslim.

Good Luck in Arabic

Today, I had learned from Maha how to say "good luck" in Arabic.

There are 3 ways to say good luck. However they are a direct translation of the English Language as different language may have a slightly different ways to say a similar things.


These are the different ways: 1. hath sa'eed - directly translated as "happy" luck. Hath means luck and sa'eed is happy. The wordings seem to be said in reversed ways. 2. bi nnajah - consists of two words. Bi meaning with and najjah means success. When these two words are joined together, the word "bi" is transformed to become "bin". A reader of Quran will understand this format under the topic of "idram" 3. The third way is to say "bi tawfeek"

learn arabic Maha Lesson 14 - I Dont Want

This video tells you how to say ... "I dont want".

Based on the earlier video, when you learn how to say I Dont Know.
-- anna  LA A' REF = I DONT KNOW

The basic sentence structure remains the same. Instead of KNow, it is replaced with Want.

--UREED

So it becomes ... Anna La Ureed.
