How to say Ta
تَاء
Ta
Touch the tip of your tongue just behind your top teeth and let go: t. Keep it light — the heavy t is ط (Taa).
Did you know? At the end of many words you'll see ة, a round 't' with two dots (ta marbuta) — like at the end of battah, duck.
Also written Taa, Ta'. Some books spell this letter Taa. On NoorHop, Taa is ط (the heavy t), so ت is Ta.
Ta in its four shapes
Arabic letters hold hands with their neighbours, so ت changes its look a little depending on where it sits in a word. Tap a shape to hear the letter.
ta, ti, tu: Ta with harakat
Add a little vowel mark and ت 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 →
