Pronouncing word endings in Arabic
Hi,
So for example the sentence
هذه طائرة خاصة
would you say 1. "haadhi-hi taa-ira-TUN khaasah"
or 2. "haadhi-hi taa-ira' khaasah" ?
If it's number 2, then what's the use of the dhamma tanween (ٌ ) if it's not even pronounced in the middle of sentences? When would you pronounce the dhamma tanween?
Thanks!
