Kimyanji What's the differance between: נ and ן מ and ם פ and ף צ and ץ All of the letters that you wrote on the right side (ן , ם ) are final forms of the same letters from the left side. Here's an example with מ and ם : If I want to say "My name is ..." I would write: השם שלי הוא Notice how ם is used and not מ? This is because the letter comes at the end of the word, and ם is the final form so it is used when the "m" sound comes at the end of the word. When the "m" sound comes at the beginning or middle of a word, מ is used 3nodding

Proudly_Jewish Bloodless Amber Maya, what you wrote on MSN is correct. Thanks! ^_^ Say, do you think we could do another microphone lesson this weekend? 3nodding No, I moved out and I can only use the internet in cafes. I would prefer having some privacy. XD But I'll visit my parents' house next week, so I'll let you know when I'm available.

Interesting question, looking at the Phoenician Alphabet,
My name in Arabic is
أبو بكر
the "و" is sometimes changed depending on what the gramatical position of the word is, and is only added when it's in the posessive form. So, for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to say:
أب بكر
Coinsidentally, that's how my name would be written in Hausa! surprised
I just remembered that just now. That's actually what my parents would call me when they're happy...
When I hear them use the first one with the "Waw" (or و) I know they're not very happy... gonk
The corresponding Latin letters for my name would be:
AB BKR
The corresponding Hebrew letters for my name would therefore be:
אב בכר
Right?

Yes. Although Hebrew speakers would usually just write / say it אבו בכר. smile

Usually when writing or relativing to such Arabic names, they are related to as if they were the subject, even when they're not (אבו מאזן, דו אלחלסה...).
Thanks for the explanation, although I'm familiar with that law. smile My grammar is quite good, it's my vocabulary that's terrible.
smile I'm glad you're having fun.

Three dots - short, two dots - long.
To be honest, I didn't know which was which myself.
Use the explanation on vocalisation on page 2.
