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?
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?
Yeah, this aspect of Arabic really is awful for nonnative speakers but that is the way it is.
On est d'accord que c'est hyper galère la vérité j'ai l'impression c'est inpossible

Tom662174, could you say some more about closed vowels? What's the relevance of Arabic words without closed vowels?
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?
Number is رَقَم or raqam. My number is رَقَمي or raqamii. There is a second a in there.
I am just hearing raqam on the recording, I see raqamii but I don't hear it.
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.

I have the same issue. I'm thinking it's just because Arabic on Duolingo is still quite new?

Is this something that people would say in Arabic, or would they include the word هاتِف to make it clearer that it's a phone number?
