How to say Ha
هَاء
Ha
Breathe out gently from deep down in your throat: h, as in 'hat'. Softer than ح (Haa).
Did you know? Ha changes its look more than most letters: round on its own, and with two little loops in the middle of a word.
Also written Haa, Ha'. Some books spell this Haa. On NoorHop, Haa is the throat letter ح, so ه is Ha.
Ha in its four shapes
Arabic letters hold hands with their neighbours, so ه changes its look a little depending on where it sits in a word. Tap a shape to hear the letter.
ha, hi, hu: Ha with harakat
Add a little vowel mark and ه becomes a sound you can say. Fatha on top says a, kasra underneath says i, and damma on top says u. Tap each one.
Coral = fatha (a), blue = kasra (i), green = damma (u). How harakat work →

Watch out for ة at the end of words: it looks like ه with two dots, but it says t (or a soft h when you stop).
