Sun Vs Moon letters In Arabic Listen to the following sentences: “ the shirt is white” الْقَمِيص أبْيَض “The car is new” السيارة جديدة

Continue connecting the letters to form words. Notice that الْقَمِيص is pronounced al-qamis, but السيارة is pronounced as-sayyara. This is because when (al, th, الْ) is added to words beginning with particular letters, the lam is pronounced like the first letter of what word and not as a lam. The letter “takes over” (assimilates the sound of the lam. When this assimilation happens, the first letter of the word sounds as though it is pronounced twice. “As-sayyara.”
