Arabic includes a few special letters that can be confusing at first, such as yaa maqsoora and taa marboota. This lesson walks you through how these letters are used, how they look, and how they sound. You’ll learn how yaa maqsoora is different from regular yaa and when taa marboota is used to indicate feminine words. These letters often appear at the end of words and play an important role in gender and pronunciation. We’ll give examples from everyday vocabulary to show how they’re used in real-life contexts. Once you understand these subtleties, reading Arabic becomes much easier. This lesson clears up confusion and sets you up for more advanced grammar later on.
