as an addition to nani's lesson

You though you would get away so easy, huh >) ? One form isn't enough for one letteق. You need four. Sometimes only two. The letter looks different in the beginning of a word, in the middle of a word, in the end of a word and alone. Compare the forms with "jeem"
جــــجـــــج ج
You can easily distinguish the different forms..
جــ ــجــ ـــج ج

then the actual forms

"ALIF"
you can connect alif only when it's the last letter of a word. Otherwise it 'stands alone'!

first : ا
middle : ا
last : ـــا
alone : ا

ا ــا ــا ا

"BAA, TAA, THAA"
these all look almost the same.. except for the dots.

for ba:
first : بـــ
middle : ـــبـــ
last :ـــب
alone : ب

for ta just take the dot off and add two above as in ت
for tha same but add three as in ث

alone - last - middle - first

بــبــب ب baa
تــتــت ت taa
ثــتــت ت thaa

"JEEM, HAA, KHAA"

alone - last - middle - first
جــجــج ج jeem
حــحــح ح haa/7aa
خــخــخ خ khaa

"DAAL, DHAAL"

alone - last - middle - first
د ـد ـد د daal
ذ ـذ ـذ ذ dhaal

"RAA', ZAY"

alone - last - middle - first
ر ـر ـر ر raa
ز ـز ـز ز zay

"SEEN, SHEEN, SAAD, DAAD"

alone - last - middle - first
ســ ــســ ــس س seen
شــ ــشــ ــش ش sheen
صــ ــصــ ــص ص saad
ضــ ــضــ ــض ض daad

"TAA, THAA, AYN, GHAYN"

alone - last - middle - first

طــ ــطــ ــط ط taa/6aa
ظــ ــظــ ــظ ظ thaa/dhaa
عــ ــعــ ــع ع ayn/3ayn
غــ ــغــ ــغ غ ghayn

"FAA, QAAF, KAAF, LAAM, MEEM, NOON"

alone - last - middle - first
فــ ــفــ ــف ف faa
قــ ــقــ ــق ق qaaf
كــ ــكــ ــك ك kaaf
لــ ــلــ ــل ل laam
مــ ــمــ ــم م meem
نــ ــنــ ــن ن noon

"HAA, WAW, YAA"

alone - last - middle - first
هــ ــهــ ــه ه haa
و ــو ــو و waw
يــ ــيــ ــي ي yaa

VOWELMARKS

As you might now, you only mark LONG vowels when writing in Arabic. Short ones can be marked with vowel marks. See:

B بْ For a plain consonant, no vowel you put a little circle above it. It's SUKUN
BA بَ For short a you put a little line above it. It's called FAT7A
BAA بَا For long a you put a little line above it and alif after it.

BI بِ for short i/e you put a little line under it..it's KASRA
BII بِي For long ee you put a little line under it and yaa after it.

BU بُ for short u/o you put a little waw above it.. it's DAMMA
BUU بُو for long oo you put a little waw above it and waw after it.

for double consonant, as BB you put shadda above the letter.

بّ

Now, let's look at the word MAGHRIBIY..
ma = مـَــ
gh = ــغْــ
ri = ــرِ
biy = بيّ

and yalla we get مـَـغْـرِبِيّ

try writing

ISM
ANA
SALIM
SABAA7
JAYYID

have fun learning..
