Should be accepted without "ya" as well

[WewaPikachu]

This "ya" represents a case called vocative. Some languages have it, like my mother tongue, Serbian. Or Russian, if it's easier for you to understand. The English language has it too. You use it when you call someone to get his/her attention or address someone. Read more here, it explains it better.

[Amanesse77]

We don't have a vocative case in english

[Away54]

Amanesse77,

In Classical English, there was "O", for example. But, yes, Modern English lacked this case.

Modern English lacks this case.

[KatieC993112]

Would the difference be heard if a foreigner said a short A ( fatha) instead of يا ? I keep misspelling Arabic words because I forget whether the vowels are long or short. Do Arab children make those mistakes, or are the differences clearly heard?
