Hello again Arabic Blog readers! Apologies for not posting for a while!<\/h3>\n

In this post, I write about the rules for writing hamza (\u0621) in Arabic. This can be a very confusing aspect for learners of Arabic. As a general rule, hamza is often written with alif (\u0623) when it is used a consonant, e.g. in words like (\u0623\u062d\u0645\u062f\u060c \u0623\u0645\u064a\u0631\u060c \u0625\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0621\u060c \u0623\u0633\u0627\u0645\u0629). However, we cannot generalise this rule. Hamza is never written with alif when it is used a vowel (\u0627), e.g. in words like (\u0628\u0627\u0628\u060c \u062c\u0645\u0627\u0644\u060c \u0644\u0627\u0645\u0639\u060c \u0633\u0645\u0627\u062d). Moreover, hamza can appear in initial, medial and final positions. This post focuses on initial hamza, and where it should and should not be written.<\/h3>\n

Hamza should be written when it appears in pronunciation, e.g.<\/h3>\n

\u0623\u062a\u0649 \u0623\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0623\u062e\u062a\u0647.<\/h3>\n

Ahmed came to his sister.<\/h3>\n

However there are certain nouns that do not have hamza written at the beginning, e.g.<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0645\u0631\u0623\u0629 – woman<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u062b\u0646\u064a\u0646 – two<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0633\u0645 \u2013 name<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0628\u0646 \u2013 son<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0628\u0646\u0629 \u2013 daughter<\/h3>\n

There are certain verb forms that do not have hamza written at the beginning, e.g.<\/h3>\n

Verbs with the pattern (\u0627\u0641\u062a\u0639\u0644) e.g. (\u0627\u062d\u062a\u0631\u0645\u060c \u0627\u0642\u062a\u0631\u0628\u060c \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0645\u0639)<\/h3>\n

Verbs with the pattern (\u0627\u0646\u0641\u0639\u0644) e.g. (\u0627\u0646\u0642\u0644\u0628\u060c \u0627\u0646\u0643\u0633\u0631\u060c \u0627\u0646\u0642\u0637\u0639)<\/h3>\n

Verbs with the pattern (\u0627\u0633\u062a\u0641\u0639\u0644) e.g. (\u0627\u0633\u062a\u0642\u0628\u0644\u060c \u0627\u0633\u062a\u062e\u062f\u0645\u060c \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0642\u0627\u0644)<\/h3>\n

It should be noted that the verbal noun (\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u062f\u0631) and imperatives (\u0627\u0644\u0623\u0645\u0631) of the same verb forms do not have hamza at the beginning.<\/h3>\n

Imperative verbs (\u0627\u0644\u0623\u0645\u0631) from verbs with the pattern (\u0641\u0639\u0644), e.g. (\u0627\u0643\u062a\u0628\u060c \u0627\u0642\u0631\u0623\u060c \u0627\u0641\u062a\u062d) do not take an initial hamza either.<\/h3>\n

It should be noted that the definite article (\u0627\u0644) never takes a hamza on the first letter.<\/h3>\n

In my following post, I will write about the medial hamza! Until then!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
