Yes

[SashaTB]

Is the audio correct? I hear "baiku"

[benton.1]

It is pronounced "baku/bakoo" with an "a" sound like in the word "cat" (not like in "bait" or "hate") and a "u" like the European "u" or the English "oo" as in "boo" or "boot": "Baku".

[Nigar837846]

yes it's a capital of Azerbaijan and thats how you pronounce it

[danielph147]

Is the 'wa'/وَ (and) always placed together with the second word that is been introduced?

[Kristoffer1990]

Yes, all single letter words are attached to the word following it, not just "wa". Words such as "كَ" ("ka", meaning "as") and "بِ" ("bi", meaning "with") are also attached to whatever word follows, with no space. It is not a "dialectal difference" as has been suggested here, the Arabic dialects doesn't even have standardised writing systems. In Modern Standard Arabic, i.e. what Duo teaches, there is never a space between single letter words and the word following it.

[Marshmallo552579]

Yes no space between the two

[jakexxiv]

as far as i know, whether or not there is a space is a dialectal difference

[N_RamO]

Hi , I'm from Baku :)

[Anya63105]

I need to learn how to write the words

[stargirl288360]

It's so hard for me

[IamYourFrnd]

Shouldnt it be Baaku, instead of Baku?

[geometry667721]

No, in English the city is spelled Baku no matter how other languages pronounce it.

[Melek_Ali]
