The third one is alif with a fatha, meem with a kasra, yaa with sukuun, ra with a fatha and haa with sukuun..
Can you please spell Amira in arabic, the correct way?

**Swords of mercy** · 02-28-2006

the right way is :

أَمِيْرَة

by the way the ( Tashkeel ) of last letter depends on the place of the word in the sentence.

alif with fat-ha
meem with kasra
ya with sukoon
ra with fat-ha

I don't understand why ة is used in Amira.. My name isn't Amirat, it's AmiRA.. So why not just have a ha at the end?

**Swords of mercy** · 03-07-2006

Fat-ha , kasra , damma ...etc are called signs of tashkeel . ( 3alamat al- tashkeel)

ة

!

If i just Say : Amira . then i stop , So its pronounced Amira as witten in English -------> Amira

OK?

But if i want to put it in a sentence like for example

هذه أميرة الإسلام أو هذه أميرة المنتدى

which means : This is the princess of Isalm or this is the princess of the fourm

its pronounced : Hathhi Amirat ulislam Aw Hathhi Amiratul muntada

th here is pronounced like in the words ( the , they , those)

So in few words : ة is different that ت

1- ة called Ta'a Mrbotah ( tight ta'a) <---- just my translation , in the middle of a sentence its pronounced T but if you are going to stop its pronouced H
2-ت Called Ta'a & its T whereever you find it

last point :

names are special cases : So simply don't worry about your name ..just say : I'm Amira ,

"Yalla" means to hurry up, you hear it like e.g. "Yalla bi Suro'aa" (meaning, "Hurry up, Quick!"). It's not a very formal way of speaking.

Because if you join your name 'Amira' with another word, it is pronounced 'Amiratul-(whatever). It is not Amriahul-(whatever)
Amira means leader (feminine) so you have to be a leader of something
Hope this helps

I have to be a leader of something, before I can be called Amira?

& it means princess too, does that mean I have to be a princess!?

I'm just kidding, I know I don't..

Anyways.. So if a ayah in al-Qur'ân ends with ة then I shouldn't pronounce it, but instead just pronounce it like that letter without the dots ontop.. And what is this letter called anyway ة

Of course, you may use the expression in an innocent sense. But it depends on the attitude towards you of the man whom you address like this. If his is an evil mind, he may smell romance in it. You can neither know nor control inner thought of someone else.

Sometimes we use the masculine in Arabic poetry and literature to denote the feminine as it makes it more acceptable (I haven't read all 12 pages here) to see if someone has already covered that. But we call the little kids with habibi both gals and guys and it is a term of endearment.
If you read robaiyat el khayam you'd notice much of it is used in the masculine unfortunately leading western 'scholars' to believe it is some sort of homoerotic literature. It is not. They simply don't understand the culture.
You even see in the Quran that the masculine is more often used t describe certain things a reward for instance in paradise but it isn't meant as an exclusion of females. It is that the nature of women is shyness and putting them on the spot is perceived as unacceptable.

and Allah swt knows best

oh yes p.s: habibi = my love
