"هٰذا رَقَمي."

Translation: This is my number.

If you wanted to say “my phone number”, where would you add the possessive ending? رقمي هاتف? But I guess semantically speaking it’s actually “my phone’s number”, so maybe it should be رقم هاتفي?

[hunterd0721]

My phone number would be رقم هاتفي

[AbunPang]

شكرا.

[hunterd0721]

عافوا!

In other sources i'm starting to see arabic words without closed vowels. How i'm supposed to know what closed vowels are between the consonants if they are invisible?

[phuvtuo]

Yeah, this aspect of Arabic really is awful for nonnative speakers but that is the way it is.

[KatieC993112]

What does "closed vowels" mean? Is it the harakat? If so, why are they called "closed"?

[Martin358481]

Why is 'my number' 3 syllables (ra.qa.mee)? Shouldn't it be only 2 (raq.mee)?
I started studying Arabic from a book many a year ago, without access to the spoken language, and that's how I interpreted the diacritics (number = raqm / raqmun). Did I learn this wrong?

[MichelleDa878143]

Number is رَقَم or raqam. My number is رَقَمي or raqamii. There is a second a in there.

General question about this program: many times new vocab is not pre-taught, but appears for the first time in an exercise. Am I missing some section of the platform? I always read the TIPS section and then hit START.
