How to Say “He/She is” in Arabic

In this lesson, we’ll teach you how to say “he is” and “she is” using the Arabic words هو (huwa) and هي (hiya). You’ll see how gender once again plays a role in sentence construction, and we’ll explain how to pair these pronouns with different adjectives and nouns. Arabic doesn’t require the verb “to be” in the present tense, so we’ll show you how sentences like “He is tall” and “She is a doctor” are formed naturally. This lesson also includes pronunciation tips and sentence-building practice. You’ll come away with the confidence to describe people and objects using correct grammar. Understanding subject–predicate structure here is essential for future fluency. By mastering هو and هي, you’re taking another major step toward real conversations.
