    Here's a helpful way to think about it, from a linguistic standpoint: Haa (ح) is more tense, but haa (ه) is more lax.
    Think about the vowel [æ], the first vowel in the word "apple." Then think about the vowel [ə], the first vowel in the word "anomaly." Both represent the /a/ sound, but one is very tense, while the other is very lax. Try saying just those vowels, going back and forth between the two, and feel how your mouth changes.
    Now, apply that change to the /h/ sound. Try saying it with your mouth tensed up, expelling air a bit more forcefully. That's the sound that Haa (ح) makes. Now try again with your mouth relaxed, and feel the sound being articulated a bit deeper, almost in your voice box. That's the sound that haa (ه) makes.
    Hope this helped! Probably only a few people will see this, but I figured I would try anyway.

  • @AishaMohammed93
    @AishaMohammed93 Před 11 lety +11

    حThis letter is pronunced as "hha" and the other one is very simple and normal ه is pronunced as ha(very short and simple, like you are relieved of something!)
    So the first one is a hha opening up your mouth wider, a bit more agressively. And the other one is more relaxed like ha! (Ah, am going to relax now)

    so if you sarcastically clear your throat or make the sound to get ppl to pay attention to you "ahem". its closer to the ح sound.

    That was very helpful; can you make a tutorial on how to pronounce the
    خ
    ج
    ذ
    ث
    because I'm teaching Arabic for a non Arab, and I know how to prounce the letters without even thinking how I do them..
    but when my tutee asks me about the right position of the tongue and the air from the throat, I find it not easy to be answered..
    I believe that looking at such figures will be very useful for her and for all Arabic learners

  • @anitaheubel3228
    @anitaheubel3228 Před 11 měsíci +2

    I’m creating my own language with 3 types of “H”, one being the Arabic sound. But I could never figure out how it was sounded and out of despair I was beginning to think I may not be able to have all 3. Thank you so much as now I know the difference and can again include the Arabic “H” into my language.

    • @LearnQuranicArabic
      @LearnQuranicArabic  Před 11 měsíci +1

      I'm so happy to hear that ☺️

    • @anitaheubel3228
      @anitaheubel3228 Před 11 měsíci +2

      And for your effort at such an excellent explanation, I will explain the meanings of all 3 “H’s” to you. Your thoughts would be greatly valued.
      My language is based on Logic, and tho logic can be relative to and for each person, I try to make it as ‘universally’ logical as possible. I hope you are already chuckling.
      The soft “h” is the breath of Life, coming as it does directly from the lungs. Thus it represents Life, Breath, Air, Gas, atmosphere, sky……..and more.
      The Arabic “H” represents the wind, its gentle breezes to its violent tempests, and everything about the weather.
      The Guttural “X” represents the emotions, as how often do we describe the weather with human emotions - brutal winds, violent flatulence, quirky hiccups…….
      I hope this meets with your approval.🌹

    • @Far7anR
      @Far7anR Před 5 lety +7

      They actually are quite different. It is like the "s" sound in "snake" with the "ch" sound in "chair" or something like that. The more you practice and get acquainted with the language, the more you will be able to see and appreciate the difference. It is an acquired palate :)

    So I live in an area which is populated densely with Arabs. They're awesome, and I took Arabic in school. It's my fifth language. These two letters confused me a lot, so thank you for covering them. Also, I can't tell, but you don't have what I consider an Arabic accent in English; that comes from hearing people from Iraq, Saudi-Arabia, Morocco, Qatar, Sudan, Lebanon, and Yemen. Though I'm sure there are many others, and some listed above may not be Arabic; that's so you don't think I'm some white person whom has no knowledge of the variety of accents that the country has. I just think you have a good English accent as well. :D! Thanks!
