"This is your rent, Seth."

Translation: هٰذا إيجارَك يا سيث.

[Mi_amas_Noha]

إيجارُكَ

[_Sach_]

When we could ' and ا? And is there any difference?

And a similar question, what is the difference between ه and ح? (Please also answer when to use which one)

And what is the difference between ت and ظ?

Why there are sort of same sounding letters in Arabic?

Very grateful if someone answers.

[Armanprs]

I don't know about the first question, but the difference between ح and ه is that ح is produced deep in your throat but ه is the ordinary /h/ sound.
And about ت and ظ, they're way different. ت has the ordinary /t/ sound, but ظ is a kind of complicated sound between /d/ and /z/ that as you can see in the lessons, duolingo presents it as DH.

[welossh]

Dragger alif means you should make the letter sound long . Also ا sounds like a

[Aronel10]

About the second question, English has letter p and Arabic doesn't. They just don't have that sound. Arabic recognizes some sounds as distinct letters that English doesn't. I'm sure you have come across ع and غ. The ones you pointed out might be more confusing because we have similar sounding letters in English, but only one character. I mean, some english words have a hard H andsome have a soft H, we just don't have a special letter for each.

[_FiX_]

the ح is nonexistent anywhere in English - it is much deeper than any hard H in English, and comes from the throat.

[_Sach_]

Is Seth male or female?

[Djibril487949]

Male, as per the grammar in this lesson and elsewhere.

[NezihD]

can someone tell me the name of the sign over hamze " ه " and help me to type it in arabic keyboard? (Windows) . (I can write هَ هُ هِ هْ but not هٰ )

[_FiX_]

that is not a hamza.

This is a hamza: ء

But this ه is a 'haa2' equivalent in pronunciation to an english 'h' as in 'hat'

I am not sure how to write an '2alif khanjariyyah' (the sign you mention) however on the Arabic keyboard. Maybe in special characters.

[SofiaKhan3]

It is called Fatha Ishba3iya.

[furat-A]

Further more, you would almost never need to write this shortened "alif" above the "ه" as it's rarely used or needed in daily writing. Where it exists, it is in very few and well known words such as هذا، هؤلاء "they"

[HelenaHyat]

I can't find it as a shortcut on my Qwerty keyboard, but you can make it appear using Unicode.

I type the ه and then change to UK language (otherwise the numbers come out in arabic and it doesn't work)

Then use unicode - on my chromebook it's hold down shift + control + press the letter U. An underlined U comes up and you can type in different codes to get different special characters

The code that produces a little dagger, is 0670 and then press space, or enter ٰ هٰ

[vsandl]

Forgot the YA again. Grr.

[Holly413466]

Struggling with putting the ' on the ه using ny phone. It automatically does it for للّهِ, but not for 'ه. I'll keep trying!
