Or in colloquial Arabic? Which one do you mean, Jonne? Or both?

Thank you in advance, guys, for your help!

P.S. Actually, I see that Jonne said only about standard Arabic.
I'm not so close to north pole

and

the hamza is very much the same as british glottal stop. It's the same in colloquial and formal language.
