How to say Haa
حَاء
Haa
Tighten the middle of your throat and breathe out a strong, whispery h — like fogging up a mirror, only deeper. It's stronger than the soft ه (Ha).
Also written Ḥa, Hha. Some books also call ه 'Haa'. On NoorHop, Haa is this throat letter ح and Ha is the soft ه.
Haa in its four shapes
Arabic letters hold hands with their neighbours, so ح changes its look a little depending on where it sits in a word. Tap a shape to hear the letter.
ha, hi, hu: Haa with harakat
Add a little vowel mark and ح 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 →
